Warning
Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere
with equipment on commercial aircraft. Current aviation
regulations require wireless devices to be turned off while
traveling in an airplane. IEEE 802.11b (also known as
wireless Ethernet or WiFi) communication devices are
examples of devices that provide wireless communication.
For instructions to turn wireless Ethernet on and off, see
“Turning your wireless Ethernet on or off in Windows XP”
on page 194 and “Turning your wireless Ethernet on or off
in Windows 2000” on page 210.
