Installation:
=============

  Before starting with the installation process, make sure that the adapter
  is properly installed and configured.


    1. System hardware configuration:
       An IRQ line must be assigned to the WLAN 802.11g controller
       by the system BIOS.

    2. Driver Installation:
       Please copy the driver files to the target installation directory:
       $(_WINCEROOT)\PLATFORM\CEPC\DRIVERS\VNWLC4

       In Platform Builder, select File -> Manage Catalog Features -> "Import..."
       to add the VNWLC4.CEC to the catalog, then press OK.

       The path of the driver in catalog menu is
       "Catalog\Device Drivers\Networking\VNT VNWLC4 Wireless LAN" or
       "Catalog\Third Party\Device Drivers\Networking\Local Area Networking(LAN) devices\
        VNT VNWLC4 Wireless LAN".

    3. Create and build a new platform:
       Assume a new platform based on CEPC:X86 BSP is created in Platform
       Builder 4.x and choose a suitable platform configuration such as
       Set-Top Box or Internet Appliance.

       Drag the network driver named "VNT VNWLC4 Wireless LAN" in the catalog
       menu into the workspace (features) window.
       OR
       Right-click on the network driver named "VNT VNWLC4 Wireless LAN" in the
       catalog menu and select "Add to Platform".

    4. To add the Windows Zero Config function into the platform, 
       drag the network driver named "Cisco 802.11b PC Card" in the catalog menu into 
       the workspace (features) window. The path of the driver in catalog menu is
       "Catalog\Device Drivers\Networking\Local Area Networking (LAN) devices\
       Cisco 802.11b PC Card". 
 
    5. Modify the registry settings if necessary:
       You may need to modify the default registry settings in VNWLC4.REG if necessary.
       Find details in Note 2.

    6. Select "Build Platform" from the "Build" menu. This step is necessary
       only for the first time a new platform is created.

    7. Download the binary image to your target platform.


  Note:

    1. Basic connection testing:
       On the development workstation, open a command prompt and type:

         ping  <IP address of the target device>

       As an example, if the network card's IP address in the target platform
       is 192.168.60.100, then type:

         ping 192.168.60.100

       If the driver is installed correctly and the network card works
       properly, the following messages will appear on the development workstation:

         Pinging 192.168.60.100 with 32 bytes of data:

         Reply from 192.168.60.100: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32
         Reply from 192.168.60.100: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32
         Reply from 192.168.60.100: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32
         Reply from 192.168.60.100: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32

       Note values for "time" and "TTL" may vary from system to system.
       If the network card or the driver itself fails to work properly,
       the following messages will appear on the development workstation:

         Pinging 192.168.60.100 with 32 bytes of data:

         Request timed out.
         Request timed out.
         Request timed out.
         Request timed out.

    2. Update registry VNWLC4.REG:
       You may modify VNWLC4.REG in
       $(_WINCEROOT)\PLATFORM\CEPC\DRIVERS\VNWLC4\ as needed.

       After modifying it, select "Make Image" from the "Build" menu to rebuild
       a new OS binary, i.e. NK.BIN.

       Read below for more information on how to configure the driver settings.

       The VNWLC4 drivers use several registry sub-keys under the
       [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\PCI\VNWLC41\Parms] key.

       The sub-keys under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\PCI\VNWLC41\Parms\TcpIp]
       are addresses for IP, gateway, and subnetmask. The listed values
       are used as an example, and these keys must be
       modified according to your actual network environments.
       If a DHCP server exists in your network, set the sub-keys as below
       to enable the DHCP configuration,

         [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\PCI\VNWLC41\Parms\TcpIp]
               "EnableDHCP"=dword:1
               "DefaultGateway"=""
               "UseZeroBroadcast"=dword:0
               "IpAddress"=""
               "Subnetmask"=""
               "DNS"=""
               "WINS"=""
