      folders.

      systray that a new network device has been installed.  It may also prompt that the 
      user view available networks to select a network with which to connect.  The user 
      must initially select a network to begin using this device.
   4. See wireless parameters below.  


Upgrading previous installation

    If you have previously installed a version of the WL100 Wireless XP drivers, you are 
    required to do a driver update:

    1. With the WL100 inserted, download and run the softpaq, you may be required to 
       uninstall a previous configuration utility, if so, please follow the dialog boxes 
       for uninstallation.
    2. Click the Start button.
    3. Click on "Control Panel".
    4. Click on "Switch to Classic View"
    5. Double click on "System".
    6. Click on the Hardware Tab.
    7. Click on the Device Manager Button.
    8. Double click on the Network Adapter section.  (If the WL100 Wireless Adapter is not 
       listed, it may be under Unknown Devices).
    9. Right click on the WL100 device.
   10. Select "Update Driver" from the pop-up list.
   11. See Wireless parameters below.


Wireless Parameters

    You can now edit your wireless parameters in the Windows XP wireless 
    configuration utility. Click on the network icon in your system tray 
    for the iPAQ Wireless PC Card Adapter. Select the wireless network to 
    connect to, or click "Advanced" to enter more parameters (suggested).

    Configure one of the available networks.  If using WEP, uncheck "The key 
    is provided for me automatically".  Notice that the Key index is different 
    in Windows XP versus the configuration utility in other operating systems.  
    For XP, the index range is 0 to 3, whereas in other operating systems and 
    in the Access Point Manager it is 1 to 4.  You must map this number to the 
    correct setting for your Access Point by subtracting 1 from the setting your 
    Access Point is using. It is recommended that on the Authentication tab you 
    uncheck "Enable network access control using IEEE 802.1X".
