Installing Wireless Software (Optional)
Microsoft Windows XP supports WLAN configuration with
the Zero Client Configuration feature. A separate WLAN
configuration utility must be installed if you plan to use Cisco
Compatible Extensions. Cisco Compatible Extensions enable
wireless devices to use Cicso-based WLANs. That utility is
preloaded on your notebook. Refer to the following 2 sections for
instructions on installing the WLAN utility.

802.11 wireless device on your notebook. To identify an
integrated 802.11 wireless device:
1. Display the names of all the 802.11 wireless devices on your
notebook:
a. Select Start > My Computer.
b. Right-click in the My Computer window.

Network Adapters.
The listing for an 802.11 wireless device includes the term
wireless LAN, WLAN, or 802.11.
If no 802.11 wireless device is listed, either your notebook
does not have an integrated 802.11 wireless device, or the
driver for the 802.11 wireless device is not properly
installed.
