Notes A manual installation will install the driver for the wireless adapter only; it will not install any associated software.  Only certain wireless adapters are compatible with 64-bit operating systems: Intel® WiFi Link 5300, Intel® WiFi Link 5100, Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN, and Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection. If you need to automate the process, use the file named iProdifx.exe from the driver package.

Use the following steps to manually install the wireless adapter driver:
