If the wireless LAN card does not function:

Software Configuration
If the driver is successfully installed, you can use your Windows
XP Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC) utility or the utility tool
your vendor provided to manage your wireless adapter.
To enable the wireless connection:
Step 1 Click the icon to open the Windows XP configuration
utility window.
Step 2 The Wireless Network Properties window displays.
Your computer automatically connects to the network displayed
at the top of the Preferred networks list.
Step 3 In the Available networks list, highlight the network you
want to connect and click Configure.
Step 4 A Wireless Network Properties window will appear.
Step 5 Enter the Network name (SSID) of no more than 32
alphanumeric characters. This SSID is a network name that
identifies the wireless devices in the network. All workstations
and access points must use the same SSID to be able to
communicate with one another. The SSID is a 32-character field,
and the value is case sensitive.
Step 6 If the network requires Network Authentication, select
the type of authentication required. WPA might require further
Authentication options found on the Authentication tab. Match
the setting used by the network.
Step 7 Enter information for the new wireless network based
on the descriptions in the following:

Select if your access point requires authentication. Match the
