Using the Setup Wizard

This chapter will guide you through the setup process for your Microsoft® Broadband Networking Wireless PCI Adapter. To set up your adapter, you need a computer that:

OIs running Microsoft Windows® XP, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows 98, or Windows 98 SE operating system.

OHas an available PCI card slot.

The steps in this chapter correspond to the steps that you will go through in the wizard on the Setup CD.

Note If you don’t want to use the Setup Wizard to set up your adapter, and you have Windows XP, it is possible to set up your adapter by using the Add Hardware Wizard and the Wireless Network Connection utility in Windows. However, using the Setup Wizard is recommended because the Setup Wizard installs the network utility software and configures your wireless network settings.
