3. Installation Overview

Actiontec recommends that you remove any existing Atheros drivers on the PC system before

installing Version 1.0 release of the NDIS driver.

With on existing Actiontec NDIS driver installed, insert the Actiontec Wireless Network

Adapter into a 32-bit CardBus slot, and follow these steps to install the NDIS driver:

1. Wait for the dialog box to appear. Choose “Found New Hardware Wizard,” and click

Next to continue

2. Under “Search for the best driver in these locations,” choose “Include this location in

the search” and click Browse to find the location of the NDIS driver. When the driver

location has been identified, click Next to continue.

3. The Actiontec driver currently does not have a digital signature from Microsoft.

Therefore, Windows XP shows a warning message. Click Continue Anyway to

proceed with driver installation.

4. Click Finish to complete driver installation, and refer to “Device Configuration” on

page 4-7 for device configuration.

Windows XP Wireless Network Configuration

Windows XP provides zero-configuration functionality that automatically tries to connect the

STA to available wireless networks in the following order:

• Infrastructure mode with valid WEP keys

• Infrastructure mode with unauthenticated access for stations without WEP keys

• Ad hoc mode

To configure wireless network settings through the Windows XP user interface:

1. Open Network Connections from Control Panel

2. Right-click the Local Area Network Connection icon (pertinent to Actiontec Wireless

Network Adapter).

3. Click Enable to enable the device first, and then click Properties.

4. On the Wireless Networks tab, select the “Use Windows to configure my wireless

network settings” check box to enable automatic wireless network configuration.

Note that you can disable automatic wireless network configuration, and revert back to

using Atheros NCP configuration settings, by clearing the “Use Windows to configure my

wireless network settings” check box.

Infrastructure Mode

To set up automatic wireless network configuration to connect to an existing Access

Point (infrastructure network), follow these steps:

1. Click the network name under “Available networks” in the Wireless Networks tab,

and click Configure. You can update the list of available networks that are within

range of your computer by clicking Refresh under Available Networks.

2. If the network requires WEP, then the “Data encryption (WEP enabled)” check

box is selected by default in Wireless Network Properties.

3. Select “The key is provided for me automatically” check box if the WEP key is

automatically provided for you. The driver will then use the Default Encryption

key from the current Atheros NCP configuration profile irrespective of the

network name.

You may choose to enter the WEP key by clearing this check box and manually

entering the network key and key length.

Ad Hoc Mode

To connect to an existing computer-to-computer (ad hoc) network:

1. Click the ad hoc network name under “Available networks” in the Wireless

Networks tab, and click Configure.

2. In Wireless Network Properties, the “This is a computer-to-computer (ad hoc)

network; wireless access points are not used “check box is selected by default.

You may choose to enable WEP by selecting the “Data encryption (WEP

enabled)” check box and the “Network Authentication (Shared mode)” check box.

3. Select the “The key is provided for me automatically” check box if the shared key

is automatically provided for you. The driver will then use the Default Encryption

key from the current Atheros NCP configuration profile irrespective of the

network name.

You may choose to enter the shared key by clearing this box and enter the key and

key length manually.

4. If you want to connect to an ad hoc network, but both ad hoc and infrastructure

networks are within range of your computer, then click Advanced in the Wireless

Networks tab and then select “Computer-to-computer (ad hoc) networks only.

Note that if you want the station to start its own ad hoc network, the “Computer-

to-computer (ad hoc) networks only” option should be selected. There should be

no network active from the preferred list and the “Automatically connect to non-

preferred networks” check box should be cleared.

Connect to an Available Wireless Network

When there is more than one available network detected by Windows XP, the OS will

prompt you to select and connect to a preferred network.

To connect to an available wireless network, right-click the network connection icon

in the notification area, and then click “View Available Wireless Networks”.

In Connect to Wireless Network, under “available networks”, select the wireless

network that you want to connect to. If a network key is required and is automatically

provided for you, then leave “network key” blank. If the network key is not

automatically provided for you, then type the key in “Network key”. Click Connect to

establish the network connection.

If you are either unable to make a connection to the wireless network that you selected

or need to configure additional wireless network connection settings, click Advanced

in Connect to Wireless Network, and the Wireless Networks tab will appear.

You can configure a new wireless network connection by clicking Add, and specifying

the network name (SSID) in Wireless Network Properties, and the wireless network

key settings, if needed.

If the network connection that you are configuring is an ad hoc network, then select

“This is a computer-to-computer (ad hoc) network; wireless access points are not

used” check box. The network will be added under “Preferred networks” in the

Wireless Networks tab.

You can change the order of the preferred networks by selecting the wireless network

that you want to reposition on the list, and then clicking Move up or Move down.

You can change the wireless network connection setting s of a preferred network by

selecting the wireless network, clicking Properties, and then changing the settings as

needed.

To remove a wireless network from the list of preferred networks, select the wireless

network that you want to remove, and then click Remove.

If a network is not defined in the preferred networks list, but you know it is available

and you want t automatically connect to it, then click Advanced in the Wireless

Networks tab, and select the “Automatically connect to non-preferred networks” check

box.
