Novatel Wireless Network Adapter (NDIS)
Enabling the Novatel Wireless Network Adapter enables always-on
connectivity like an Ethernet card and eliminates the need to use the
Sprint PCS Connection Manager Software. As soon as the USB
connector is inserted into your USB port, the device connects to the
network automatically. The connection is also reestablished
automatically coming out of hibernate and standby modes.
To enable the Novatel Wireless Network Adapter:
1. Disconnect the Sprint Mobile Broadband USB Modem from
the Sprint PCS Network. (If you are connected to the Sprint
PCS network, the Enable Network Adapter [NDIS] check box
will be disabled.)
