2 Preface This user's guide provides the necessary information for first-time users to successfully install the Procomp network driver interface specification (NDIS) driver, for the purpose of evaluating and/or operating the Procomp WLAN card solution for IEEE 802.11b/g in a Microsoft Windows environment and the Procomp WLAN Driver and Utility. This guide also provides information for users who wish to upgrade the Procomp NDIS driver from previous releases. This guide describes the steps required to install NDIS drivers for the Procomp Wireless Network Adapter in Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 98SE. About this Document Chapter 1 Introduction—Hardware, software, and system requirements needed to set up the Procomp Wireless Network Adapter. Chapter 2 Installation—Installation/uninstallation procedures for Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows 98SE.
3 1 Introduction The Procomp Wireless Network Adapters are designs based on the Inprocomm IPN2220 and Maxim 2825 chip set. These designs implement a half-duplex, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) baseband processor supporting all IEEE 802.11g data rates (6 to 54 Mbps) and 802.11b data rates (1 to 11 Mbps). The host interface is compatible with the PC Card 7.1 and PCI 2.3 standards. System Requirements Laptop PC containing: • 32-bit CardBus slot (or Desktop PC with PC Card-PCI adapter) • 32 MB memory or greater • 300 MHz processor or higher Microsoft Windows 2000/Windows Millennium Edition/Windows 98 Second Edition/Windows XP
4 2 Installation This chapter describes using the Procomp installer to install the Procomp WLAN Driver and Utility. Procomp provides an InstallShield utility to upgrade the NDIS driver, if a previous release is installed, and to install the Procomp WLAN Driver and Utility. • Use the Procomp WLAN Driver and Utility to configure the device driver. • Use the InstallShield Updater to uninstall the NDIS driver and Procomp WLAN Driver and Utility application and remove them from the Device Manager. Procomp WLAN Driver and Utility Installation and Driver Update This section describes installing the client utility and driver on the Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows ME, and Windows 98SE OSs.
