If your computer has two PC Card slots

Notes

•When using a computer which has two PC Card slots arranged vertically (one above the other), insert the Wireless LAN PC Card into the top slot. If inserted into the bottom slot, the antenna of the Wireless LAN PC Card will block the top slot.

•If you insert the Wireless LAN PC Card into a slot other than the one you usually use, the computer treats the card as a new device and automatically begins installing device drivers for it. Completing the driver installation makes it possible to use the Wireless LAN PC Card in that slot. Installation is performed automatically by the installation wizard. (For instructions on how to uninstall the Wireless LAN PC Card driver, see page 50.)

zHint

If you are using the Windows Me or Windows 2000 operating system, you can register up to 32 networks for each PC card slot. However, you have to register each network individually. You cannot share the settings across slots.
