Broadband Networking Wireless Notebook Adapter or Wireless USB adapter.
Before you begin Setup, make sure that you have everything needed to install
your new adapter.
To set up a Wireless Notebook Adapter, you will need:
O
A computer running the Microsoft Windows
®
XP, Windows Me, Windows 2000
Professional, or Windows 98 SE operating system.
O
An available PC Card slot that supports CardBus PC Cards.
To set up a Wireless USB Adapter, you will need:
O
A computer running the Windows XP, Windows Me, Windows 2000
Professional, or Windows 98 SE operating system.

An available, high-powered USB port. To determine if your computer supports
USB 2.0, see Chapter 1, “Introduction.”
The steps in this chapter correspond to the steps that you will go through in the
wizard on the Setup CD.
Note If you don’t want to use the Setup Wizard to set up your adapter, and you
have Windows XP, it is possible to set up your adapter by using the Add Hardware
Wizard and the Wireless Network Connection utility in Windows. However, using the
Setup Wizard is recommended because the Setup Wizard installs the network utility
software and helps congure your wireless network settings.
