Network Connections and Wireless Security
This chapter explains how to use your Wireless Express Card to connect to your Wireless Local
Area Network (WLAN) and how to set up wireless security for the Wireless Express Card so that
it matches the wireless security settings for your network.
If you chose the Windows XP Zero configuration during installation, and now you want to use the
Smart Wizard, then you need to disable the Windows utility. If you are working with the Vista
configuration utility, see the online document:
