Configuring your Wireless LAN Card
The Wireless LAN Card Utility is used to configure and monitor the NetComm NP7032 -
Wireless LAN PC Card for all Windows operating systems. It functions in the same way for
Windows 98, Millennium (ME) and Windows 2000.
Note:
Users of Microsoft Windows XP do not need to use this Utility as Windows XP has
inbuilt support for WLAN devices and will automatically configure them where
possible. You may still install the Wireless LAN Utility, as it may be useful for
diagnosing problems, but some of the options shown in these pages will not be
available; they are configured by Windows XP. Please refer to the section on
Microsoft Windows XP on page 20.
We strongly suggest you also use Windows XP on-line help (Start -> Help) for
specific information on how Microsoft Windows XP utilizes wireless network
devices.
