Device Configuration
Windows XP zero-configuration functionality allows you to select and join a
wireless network without having to configure the device separately. You can
decide to choose the default parameters and directly proceed to zero-
configuration in
“Windows XP Wireless Network Configuration”
.
Similar to Windows 2000, configuration of the Atheros AR5001 Wireless
Network Adapter can be done through the Network Control Panel (NCP) in
adapter properties. You can set the Wireless Network Adapter to work in one
of two modes: infrastructure mode or ad hoc mode. Refer to
for more details on these network connection
types.
To launch NCP go to Device Manager, right-click “Atheros AR5001 Wireless
Network Adapter,” and select Properties to access to the properties of the
adapter.
