Driver Installation
Note: A driver is software that
forms the interface between a
device (such as the AirCard) and
the operating system on your PC
(such as Windows 98).
There is an AirCard driver for each supported operating
system on the AirCard CD. The AirCard will not function
properly unless the appropriate driver for your operating
system is installed.
In Windows 95, 98, 2000, and Me, driver installation is done
through a wizard. Windows NT does not have a wizard to
facilitate driver installation.
Windows 98, 2000, and Me:
To install the AirCard driver in Windows 98, 2000 or Me,
follow these instructions:
Note: Do not forcefully connect
the antenna, or forcefully insert

connector pins.

already inserted, and close any Windows programs that
are running.
2. If the CD start-up menu is displayed, use the
exit option in
the lower left corner of the screen to exit the menu.
3. Attach the antenna to the AirCard and, with the label
facing up, carefully insert the AirCard into your PC card
slot. Windows should detect that a new device has been
inserted and launch the wizard that guides you through
the driver installation.
