I.   Installation Notes for MS-Windows 95, 98, and NT

Please refer to the IEEE 802.11 WaveLAN User's Guide for the 
description of the software installation. This section contains 
additional information and corrections only.


I.1. Removing the WaveLAN/IEEE driver from a MS-Windows 95 computer
     =======================================================

1. Go to the "Network Neighborhood" icon on your display and click 
on the right mouse button, then select "Properties".
2. At the "Network" screen click at "WaveLAN/IEEE PC Card", then 
"Remove" button and "OK".
3. DO NOT confirm restarting computer.
4. Go to Windows Explorer to the "Win_Dir\System" directory, where 
"Win_Dir is the directory where your Windows 95 OS is located, by 
default it has name "Windows".
5. Remove Wvlan41.sys and Wvlanuif.vxd.
6. Goto the Win_Dir\Inf directory.
7. Remove Wvlan41.inf.
8. Restart your computer.
Your driver is now removed.



I.2. Installation under MS-Windows NT 4.0
     =======================================================

a)  Enabling the PC Card Controller for the WaveLAN ISA Card.

When you install Windows NT on a computer after you installed the 
WaveLAN ISA Card hardware, Windows NT will automatically start the 
PC Card Controller.

When you install the WaveLAN ISA Card in a computer that has Windows NT
already installed, you probably have to start the PC Card Controller 
manually:
1. Go to "Control Panel", and select "Devices".
2. In the list of devices, select "PCMCIA".
3. If "PCMCIA" is "Disabled", Select "Startup", and Select "System".
4. Restart your computer.
5. The PC Card Controller is now enabled.
6. Follow the WaveLAN Miniport Driver installation as described in
the User's Guide.


b)  I/O Port

The WaveLAN Card's default I/O Port value under Windows NT is 0300.



I.3. PC Card Memory Address under MS-Windows 95, 98, and NT
     =======================================================

The WaveLAN Card does not need a PC Card Memory Address.



I.4. I/O Port conflicts under MS-Windows 95, 98, and NT
     =======================================================

When your WaveLAN Card's installation completed successfully, but it
does not become operational (WaveMANAGER/CLIENT reports "WaveLAN card
not operational"), you are advised to try a different I/O Port value.
The Windows Resource Manager does not always detect a conflict.
This problem has been noticed under Windows 95 OSR 0, Windows 98, 
and Windows NT 4.0.



I.5. Updating the WaveLAN/IEEE driver under MS-Windows 98
     =======================================================

1. Go to the "My Computer" icon on your display and click on the 
right mouse button, then select "Properties".
2. At the "Device Manager" screen click at "Network Adapters" and 
select the "WaveLAN/IEEE PC Card". 
3. At the "Driver" screen, click the "Update Driver" button.
4. Follow the Installation Wizard guidelines.

II.  Installation Notes for MS-DOS

Please refer to the IEEE 802.11 WaveLAN User's Guide (Annex B) for 
the description of the software installation. This section contains 
additional information and corrections only.


II.1. DOS Card Access Driver
      =======================================================

The User's Guide refers to the incorrect name
"wavecad.sys" for the Card Access Driver. The correct name to
use is "wvlancad.sys". The driver contained on this diskette
uses the correct name.


II.2. DOS Packet Driver
      =======================================================

To select the Ad-Hoc Demo Mode of operation, add the following line to
PACKET.INI:
PortType 3

To unload the Packet Driver enter:                    WVLAN42 U
	
To get help information for the Packet Driver enter:  WVLAN42 H
	
When the Packet Driver encounters an unknown keyword in configuration
in PACKET.INI it will produce an error message, but load anyway. When
a configuration parameter is given an invalid value in PACKET.INI an
error message will be given as well, but in this case the Packet Driver
will not load.

If you want to run PDETHER on top of the Packet Driver you should use 
version 1.03 or newer.


I.3. DOS ODI Driver
     =======================================================

To select the Ad-Hoc Demo Mode of operation, add the following line to
NET.CFG:
PortType 3

III. Change History
     =======================================================

   Following are the functional enhancements and major bug fixes:

   Release 1.02		November 1998

      * WaveMANAGER/CLIENT / NDIS Miniport driver:
	  - Problem is resolved that caused the Link Test to fail on
            some cards.

   Release 1.01		August 1998

      *	NDIS Miniport driver:
	  - Functions now under MS Windows NT 4.0.
	  - Boot problem in certain machines has been fixed.
	  - Reliability of Firmware Download has been improved.

      *	All drivers now support the Ad-Hoc Demo Mode of operation.
	This is a non IEEE mode for an Independent Network (i.e. a 
	MAC-layer peer-to-peer network without an Access Point), that
	is not interoperable with other vendors IEEE 802.11 products.
	When this mode is selected, communication takes place in the
	factory-installed default channel of the card.

      * WaveMANAGER/CLIENT:
	  - User can now add text to log entries.
	  - If the name of the AP is not available, its MAC address
	    is given in the Status screen, rather than "unknown".
	  - Protection is added to avoid that two utilities can
	    connect to the driver simultaneously.
