3.1  What You Need to Know About Windows 9x/Me/2000/XP 

 
Although similar in appearance, Windows 9x/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT 4.0 use different 
procedures when installing a new hardware. 
 
Throughout this section it is assumed that you have a basic working knowledge of Windows 
95/98/Me/2000/XP and of how to install new network devices on them.   
 
Windows 9x/Me/2000/XP operating system supports the “Plug-and-Play” feature. This means 
that the first you install a new hardware, the operating system will detect the hardware and 
automatically search and install the driver. 
 
 

 
During the installation, you may be prompted to load operating system files from the Windows 
installation disk. Please keep this disk handy. 
 
You will need the Software Tools CD provided with your package. 
 
Note: With Windows 2000/XP, you need to log in as the “Administrator” or with the privilege to 
install the WLAN NIC. 
 
 

3.3  Install PCI Adapter Driver 
 

The WaveBuddy WLAN PCI Adapter is a WLAN/56K Modem combo. If you do not need 
the modem capability, please skip its installation process.
