INTRODUCTION The D-Link DWL-500 802.11b Wireless PCI Adapter is an ideal way to connect your laptop computer to a wireless network or as part of a wired LAN (Local Area Network) with a wireless network segment. After completing the steps outlined in this manual, you will have the ability to share information and resources - such as files and printers- and take full advantage of a "connected" environment for work and play! This DWL-500 comes with drivers for the most popular operating systems and can be integrated into a large network. The User's Manual is designed to help you connect your laptop to a network when running Windows 98, Windows ME, NT 4.0 or 2000 in either Ad Hoc mode (without an Access Point) or Infrastructure mode (with an Access Point). Yet the IEEE802.11b standards compliance means this adapter gives you the flexibility to connect it to any 802.11b network. The IEEE 802.11b Ethernet standard allows you to connect computers and devices at speeds up to 11Mbps, depending on the distance between wireless adapters. This manual provides a quick introduction to wireless technology and its application as it relates to networking. Take a moment to read through this manual and familiarize yourself with wireless technology. But you should also give yourself some time to play with your new wireless network. i
