Network Connections and Wireless Security

This chapter explains how to use your Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter to connect to your Wireless
Local Area Network (WLAN) and how to set up wireless security for the Wireless USB 2.0
Adapter so that it matches the wireless security settings for your network.
If you chose the Windows XP or Windows Vista Configuration utility during installation, and now
you want to use the Smart Wizard, then you need to disable the Windows utility. If you are
working with the Vista configuration utility, see the online document:
