Chapter 3 Atheros Client Utility Installation
Note for Windows XP Users: The Windows XP operating system has a built-in feature
known as “Wireless Zero Configuration” which has the capability to configure and control
the WLAN 802.11a/b/g device (See Chapter 5). Installing the Wireless LAN Client utility
will disable this Windows XP feature. For most Windows XP users, it is recommended
that they do not install the Atheros Client Utility. Installation of the Atheros Client utility
is only needed if your wireless LAN network requires Cisco Client Extension or if you
want to use Atheros Client Utility instead of Windows XP Wireless Zero configuration
services.
