Windows XP Wireless Network Configuration
Aside from using the Network Control Panel (NCP) to configure the Atheros
AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter, Windows XP provides zero-configuration
functionality that automatically tries to connect the STA to available wireless
networks in the following order:
■ Infrastructure mode with valid WEP keys
■ Infrastructure mode with unauthenticated access for stations without
WEP keys
■ Ad hoc mode
To configure wireless network settings through the Windows XP user
interface:
1. Open Network Connections from Control Panel.
2. Right-click the Local Area Network Connection icon (pertinent to Atheros
AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter).
3. Click Enable to enable the device first, and then click Properties.
