Network Connections and Wireless Security
This chapter explains how to use your WPN311 Wireless PCI Adapter to connect to your Wireless

If you chose the Windows XP or Windows Vista configuration utilities during installation, and
now you want to use the Smart Wizard, then you need to disable the Windows utility. If you are
