OL-6553-01
Installing or Upgrading Client Adapter Software
Table 1 Software Components and Their Parameters
Component or Parameter Description
Firmware Installs the firmware version included in the Install Wizard file.
Default: Checked
Disable Firmware
Checking
The Disable Firmware Checking parameter affects the firmware that
is bundled with the driver, not the firmware that is included in the
Install Wizard. It controls whether the driver (whenever it loads)
installs the firmware with which it is bundled.
Note The driver loads each time you insert a client adapter or
reboot your computer.
Options: Yes or No
Default: Yes
Disable Firmware Checking Description
Yes Prevents the driver from installing the
firmware with which it is bundled,
enabling the client adapter to retain its
current firmware version.
No Causes the driver to install the firmware
with which it is bundled if that firmware is
newer than the firmware that is currently
installed in the client adapter.
Note The Disable Firmware Checking parameter is functionally
equivalent to the Automatically Load New Firmware When
NDIS Driver Is Updated parameter on the ACU Preferences
screen. The parameter that is set last is the one that governs
how the driver behaves.
Drivers Installs the driver version included in the Install Wizard file.
Default: Checked
Set Quiet Mode? Specifies whether the client becomes quiet (to passively scan or
listen) when its associated access point is turned off. In quiet mode,
the client generates radio frequency energy only in direct response to
an access point transmission. When the access point is turned back
on, it starts sending beacons, which the client hears and can now
respond to.
This parameter applies to individual cards rather than profiles. It can
be set differently for different cards and remains in effect across ACU
sessions and computer reboots.
Options: Yes or No
Default: No
Note You can also change the quiet mode setting in ACU by
choosing the Turn Quiet Mode On/Off option from the
Commands drop-down menu.
