Software Installation for Windows

Note: if your laptop computer does not have a CD-ROM drive, see
Making a Floppy Disk.
Type II Adapters Only
1 With Windows running, insert the PRO/100 Mobile adapter into the
CardBus slot and connect cables as shown in Hardware Installation.
2 Windows detects the adapter and displays the Add New Hardware
wizard. Click Next to continue. In this procedure, the LAN driver will
be installed first and then the modem driver (if you have the PRO/100
Combo adapter). If the New Hardware Found window does NOT
appear, you may need to enable CardBus support in your mobile
computer's BIOS. See your computer owner's manual for information.
3 On the next screen, Windows prompts for a driver search. Choose
"Search for the best driver (Recommended)" and click Next.
4 Insert the Intel CD or floppy disk and select the corresponding check
box. Click Next to continue. If necessary, specify the path to your CD-
ROM or floppy drive.
Note: When you insert the Intel CD to install drivers, an autorun file
displays an introductory screen with several buttons. This is not
part of the installation process, and you may close it or leave it
open for later reading.
5 The new dialog box displays the name of the adapter, depending on
the product you are installing. Choose "The updated driver (Recom-
mended)." Click Next.
6 Windows confirms the device name and location of the LAN driver
(NET82557.INF). Click Next to continue. Windows may prompt you
for the location of Windows networking files. Usually these are
located in c:\windows\options\cabs or on your Windows 98 installa-
tion CD.
7 A message confirming successful LAN driver installation appears.
Click Finish.
8 For most networks, you will need to configure properties for your
protocols, computer identification, and preferred servers. Contact your
network administrator for details if you need assistance.
9 If you have the LAN only adapter, restart your computer when
prompted and proceed to step 11.
