Preface

This user’s guide provides the necessary information for first-time users to
successfully install the D-Link Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS)
driver, for the purpose of evaluating and/or operating the D-Link DWL-A650
Station Reference Design in a Microsoft Windows environment. This guide
also provides information for users who wish to upgrade the D-Link NDIS
driver from previous releases.

This guide describes the steps required to install NDIS drivers for the D-Link
DWL-A650 Wireless Network Adapter in Windows 2000, Windows Millennium
Edition, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows XP, and Windows NT 4.0.
This guide also includes detailed instructions for configuring the PC Card
device, or IEEE 802.11a station (STA), to interact with an access point (AP)
in infrastructure mode and with other STAs in ad hoc mode. Instructions for
installing or upgrading the diagnostic utility LinkMon are also included. You
should also read this before proceeding to install the D-Link DWL-A650
Wireless Network Adapter and NDIS driver in the targeted operating system
(OS) environment.
