2 PRO/Wireless 2100 Software Driver
This chapter provides an overview of the SetupWLD Wrapper. Additionally, it provides the installation
procedure and command line options available to the SetupWLD Wrapper for Microsoft Windows 2000
and Microsoft Windows XP.
2.1 Overview of the SetupWLD Wrapper
This program can operate in the following modes:
• The wireless MiniPCI adapter is installed into a system with an old driver installed
• The wireless MiniPCI adapter is installed into a system with the same driver installed
• The wireless MiniPCI adapter is not installed in the system
Based on the conditions above, the respective actions are:
• Silent driver upgrade or installation
• Silent driver reinstallation
• Unattended installation (prepare the system to accept the Intel® PRO/Wireless 2100 LAN
MiniPCI Adapter and perform an unattended installation when the Intel® PRO/Wireless 2100
LAN MiniPCI Adapter is plugged in)
When this application is run after canceling the PnP hardware wizard, it installs the drivers. (The PnP
dialog displays when the hardware is inserted into a system with an operating system on which no Intel®
PRO/Wireless 2100 LAN MiniPCI Adapter is currently installed.) After the driver is copied to the
system, SetupWLD.exe triggers a rescan of the PCI bus to identify whether a card is present and installs
the driver automatically.
2.2 Installing the Driver
