(page 27)
Note: You must reinstall the Windows NT Service Pack after you
install the AirCard driver. Ensure you have your Service Pack CD
before you begin. (Version 6a is supported.)
Note: Windows system files may also be required to complete the
installation. These files are located on the Windows NT CD and may
also be stored as .CAB files on your hard drive. If the .CAB files are
not available to you, the recommendation is to copy the Windows NT
driver from the AirCard CD to a directory on your hard drive. The
Windows NT driver is located on the AirCard installation CD in the
directory \Drivers\WinNT.
Windows NT Users: Your PC
must be off whenever you insert
or eject the AirCard.
