7.1 Preventing Memory Range Conflicts
The ISA Plug and Play WLAN card requires users to load
SLAINIT.EXE prior to loading the driver or updating the
firmware. Ensure the firmware is up to date. Refer to
firmware update section for instructions on firmware
version verification.
1. To prevent conflicts with other devices, use an
extended memory manager (i.e., EMM386, etc.).
Exclude the upper memory block where the adapter
resides. Modify the memory manager device line in
CONFIG.SYS, if the adapter has a memory location
starting at 0xD000 operating in memory mode and
EMM386 is being used.
– For memory mode operation:
[DEVICE]=[path]EMM386.EXE X=D000-D7FF
– For I/O mode operation:
[DEVICE]=[path]EMM386.EXE X=D000-D0FF
2. Modify the network configuration to include the
memory range used by the WLAN adapter.
– Exclude a 4 KB memory range for I/O Mode
operation.
