Step10 Refer to Chapter6 of the Cisco Aironet 340, 350, and CB20A Wireless LAN Client Adapters Installation

PEAP (EAP-GTC).
Associating to an Access Point Using Windows XP
Windows XP causes the client adapter’s driver to automatically attempt to associate to the first network
in the list of preferred networks (see Figure E-1). If the adapter fails to associate or loses association, it
automatically switches to the next network in the list of preferred networks.The adapter does not switch
networks as long as it remains associated to the access point. To force the client adapter to associate to
a different access point, you must choose a different network from the list of available networks (and
click Configure and OK).
Viewing the Current Status of Your Client Adapter
To view the status of your client adapter, click the icon of the two conn ecte d compute rs in the Windows
