2. Resume after a computer suspend.
3. Reboot the computer.
For Windows XP Zero Configuration:
• Select Yes, to disable Windows XP Zero Configuration. Intel(R) PROSet will continue to
manage the
adapter.
• Select No, Windows XP will manage the adapter. The current connection will continue
with the affected Intel(R) PROSet features show below. You can also prevent the dialog
from being displayed again, in which case Windows XP Zero Configuration will
automatically manage the wireless adapter. The notification dialog can be re-enabled
from the Advanced Settings options.

button is non-functioning when used to connect to an available network.

adapter. To avoid conflicts, Intel(R) PROSet has temporarily disabled its Profile
Management features."

A fast way to connect to a network is to use the Scan button to search for a network access
point in range of your wireless adapter. When a network is found, you can instantly connect
without a profile or create a new profile.

profile list of available networks. Refer to Automatic Profile Distribution
for more
information.

4. The Available Networks dialog displays the names of the available networks.
5. Select the network from the list, and click the Connect button. Click the Refresh button
to refresh the list of available networks.

a profile.
