New Adapter Installation
With the computer powered on and Windows* Me loaded, insert your mobile adapter and connect the network cable and modem cable (if you are installing a combo card). Windows Me will detect the adapter and installs the default Windows Me LAN driver first, then a default modem driver. Although these drivers provide basic functionality, you will need to update these drivers with the drivers on the Intel® CD or from a downloaded file. To update the drivers, follow the steps outlined below under Upgrading Drivers.
Loading Drivers while Upgrading to Windows Me
Perform the OS upgrade to Windows Me. Allow Windows Me to install the drivers that came with Me for your adapter and modem. Then update the drivers following the steps outlined under Upgrading Drivers.
Upgrading Drivers in Windows Me
