Power on the computer and allow Windows Me to complete startup.
Insert your new adapter as described in Insert the PRO/100 S Mobile Adapter.
Connect the network cable and modem cable if it is necessary.
Windows Me detects the adapter. The Add New Hardware Wizard starts. Follow the prompts in the wizard to install the drivers from the Intel CD.
Restart your computer when prompted.
If you are not in the U.S. or Canada, run the Country Identifier utility to specify your location. The utility is located in the Intel Mobile program group.
