Updating the USB

Client Drivers may be required in

one of

the following

situations:

• You would

like to use new features that have

become

available for

your AirStation USB Client.

You installed a newer version of the Client Manager tool.

Your Client Manager “Card Diagnostics” reported a Driver/Firmware mismatch.

CAUTION:

Updating the USB Client Drivers should only be done by a skilled LAN Administrator or support engineer who has a working knowledge of the Microsoft Windows 2000 operating system. To update previously installed USB Client drivers:

1.Remove Existing USB Client Drivers from your Windows 2000 operating system, and

2.(Re-)Install the driver as described in “Install Drivers” in section 2.3
