1. A wireless communication device comprising:
wireless communication circuitry operative to communicate with a wireless station using a connection having a non-authenticated component and an authenticated component, wherein the non-authenticated component of the connection does not contain an authentication procedure including a challenge and response between the wireless communication device and the wireless station, and the authenticated component of the connection contains an authentication procedure including a challenge and response between the wireless communication device and the wireless station; and
control circuitry operative to control the wireless communication circuitry to receive from the wireless station, via the wireless communication circuitry and during the non-authenticated component of the connection prior to the authenticated component of the connection, information necessary for the authenticated component of the connection,
wherein the control circuitry is further operative to control the wireless communication circuitry to receive content from the wireless station during the authenticated component of the connection, and to further control the wireless communication circuitry to receive additional information that is related to the content during the non-authenticated component of the connection.
