Novatel Wireless Network Adapter (NDIS)
Enabling the Novatel Wireless Network Adapter enables always-on
connectivity like an Ethernet card and eliminates the need to use the
Sprint PCS Connection Manager Software. As soon as the card is
inserted into your PC Card slot, the card connects to the network
automatically. The connection is also reestablished automatically
coming out of hibernate and standby modes.
To enable the Novatel Wireless Network Adapter:
1.
Disconnect the Sprint Mobile Broadband Card from the
Sprint PCS Network. (If you are connected to the Sprint PCS
network, the Enable Network Adapter [NDIS] check box will
be disabled.)
