Installing the device drivers
This section provides instructions on installing the device drivers for your High-Rate
Wireless LAN PC Card in Windows
®
95, Windows 98, Windows NT
®
4.0, and Windows
2000.
Note: Keep the Microsoft Windows installation CDs or software diskettes close at hand.
If your computer came with a factory-installed Windows operating system, these
files will be stored as .CAB files on the hard disk drive of your computer.
Installing a High-Rate Wireless LAN PC Card requires the same level of expertise that
you need to install any other type of standard Ethernet network adapter card. This manual
assumes that you have a working knowledge of standard Microsoft Windows operating
systems and of installing network adapter cards.
Note: If your computer uses the CardWizard program for PC Card configuration, you
must install the latest version of CardWizard on your computer. The latest version
can be downloaded from the IBM Web site at
http://www.ibm.com/pc/downloads
Depending on your operating system and the configuration of your computer, the
installation of the device drivers will consist of:
1. Installing the device drivers
2. Selecting the Miniport device driver
Note: You will need to perform this procedure only if Windows did not
automatically detect the right High-Rate Wireless LAN Miniport device
drivers.
3. Network installation
Note: You will need to perform this procedure only if this is the very first time that
networking support is installed on your computer.
Installing the device drivers in Windows 95 and Windows 98
The Windows 95 and Windows 98 operating systems support Plug and Play operation for
PC Cards. When you insert the High-Rate Wireless LAN PC Card into your computer,
these operating systems automatically detect the card and enable the High-Rate Wireless
LAN Miniport device driver, or prompt you to install the device driver, when the operating
system cannot find the required device driver. This typically occurs the first time you
insert the High-Rate Wireless LAN PC Card into your computer.
When the High-Rate Wireless LAN Miniport device driver is installed, you can remove
and reinsert the card whenever you want, that is, you can "Hot Swap" the card.
