Ejecting the Wireless LAN card
After disconnecting from the LAN, you can eject the Wireless LAN card from the PC Card slot of notebook.
Note!
In Win 2000/ME/98/95 operating systems, you do not have
to power down the notebook to remove the card. The card
is hot-swappable—you can remove the card when the
notebook is powered on. However, Microsoft recommends
that you stop the card. Refer to your Windows
2000/ME/98/95 online help for information on stopping the
Wireless LAN card.
Most notebooks have an eject lever or button for ejecting PC cards from the PC slots. Consult your notebook manual
for details.
Warning!
To prevent data loss, do not eject the Wireless LAN card
when a data transmission is taking place. Exit your commu-
nications program normally, stop the card if necessary, and
then remove the card.
