Installing Wireless Software (Optional)
Microsoft Windows XP supports WLAN configuration with the
Zero Client Configuration feature. HP provides a separate WLAN
configuration utility that must be installed if you plan to use
Cisco Compatible Extensions. Cisco Compatible Extensions
enable wireless devices to use Cicso-based WLANs.
Identifying a WLAN Device
To install HP WLAN software for an integrated 802.11 wireless
device, you need to know the name of the integrated 802.11
wireless device on your notebook. To identify an integrated
802.11 wireless device:
1. Display the names of all the 802.11 wireless devices on your
notebook:
a. Select Start > My Computer.
b. Right-click in the My Computer window.
c. Select Properties > Hardware tab > Device Manager >
Network Adapters.
2. Identify the 802.11 wireless device from the list that is
displayed:
❏ The listing for an 802.11 wireless device includes the term
wireless LAN, WLAN, or 802.11.
❏ If no 802.11 wireless device is listed, either your notebook
does not have an integrated 802.11 wireless device, or the
driver for the 802.11 wireless device is not properly
installed.
