Configuration of the WLAN Device

The WLAN Device can be configured to establish wire- less network connectivity using one of the following tools:

■Intel PROSet Software - The Intel PROSet Software allows for multiple profile setup and supports auto- matic profile switching. Support for most industry standard security solutions is contained in this soft- ware.

■Atheros Client Utility - The Atheros Client Utility soft- ware allows for multiple profile setups and supports automatic profile switching. Support for most indus- try standard security solutions is contained in this software.
