NDIS Notes:
• NDIS turns the WWAN radio on even before the OS starts. This is not always a
desirable state, so choose NDIS only if needed.
• Because NDIS enables the Gobi WWAN hardware to connect, reconnect and roam
automatically, those selections are ignored if chosen in conjunction with NDIS.
• Auto Launch is not recommended for use with NDIS – it will launch the Connection
Manager application upon reboot, restarting the connection.
Click on the Help button on the OneClick Internet main page for detailed information on
operating and troubleshooting your WWAN connection.
