(Do not forget to eject floppy disk!) 4. Confirm Update ----------------- To confirm the update of the driver, go to Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager -> Network adapters -> SMC IrCC (Infrared Communications Controller) -> Properties -> Driver. Confirm that the Date is 9-14-2000. This is the date stamp of ‘smcirdam.inf.’ Next, click “Driver File Details…” and select SMCIRDA.SYS. Confirm the File version is 4.10.1999.4. 5.
