Known Limitations and Compatibility Notes
=========================================

This section contains a list of notes that are not documented in the online 
guides or otherwise described.


Changing adapter settings if running Windows 95C
-------------------------------------------------

If you are running Windows 95C, you must use the Network Control Panel
Applet (NCPA) to change the adapter settings.


Resetting the adapter
---------------------

If you reset the adapter using Intel PROSet II, you must reboot the 
computer to restore the adapter's connection to the network.


Reinstalling the adapter requires you to reboot the computer 
------------------------------------------------------------

If you uninstall the driver and remove the adapter, and then install
the driver and adapter at a later time, you must reboot the computer.
Rebooting the computer allows Intel PROSet II to manage the adapter
again.


Configuring a Windows CE device for a connection without a WINS server 
on the network
----------------------------------------------------------------------

After installing the Intel PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN Adapter, you must 
configure the device for a WINS IP Address. After you configure the device,
it can be sychronized with a desktop or laptop through the wireless 
connection. 

To configure the device for a WINS IP Address, do the following:
Tap Start, Settings, then the Connections tab.

1. Tap Network and then tap the Intel adapter.
2. Tap Name Servers.
3. In the WINS field, enter the IP address of the laptop or desktop you 
are connecting to.
4. Click OK.


Upgrading from software version 2.x to version 3.0 on Windows CE devices
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before installing version 3.0 of this release, you must uninstall the 
version 2.2 software. Otherwise, the adapter and software do not function 
correctly.


Using the default directory during the installation on Windows CE devices
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The software for the Pocket PC and Handheld devices is not installed into 
non-default directories. Some devices may appear to create and accept the 
non-default path. Attempting to install the software into a non-default 
directory always results in the files being placed into the default 
Windows directory.


Inserting the adapter repeatedly over a short period of time on Windows CE
Devices
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you insert and remove the adapter repeatedly over a short period of time,
the ESSID, also called SSID, may change. If this situation occurs, perform
a soft reset on your Windows CE device, and then Correct the ESSID.


Using an Intel Compact Flash adapter in peer-to-peer (Ad Hoc) mode
------------------------------------------------------------------

Compact Flash adapters do not function in peer-to-peer (Ad Hoc) mode.


Entering a passphrase instead of hexadecimal for encryption
-----------------------------------------------------------

When you are setting up Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption using
hexadecimal digits, toggling from Hex to Text displays corrupt text in the
WEP key field.


Intel PROSet II does not recognize Intel adapters with Compact Flash
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Intel PROSet II does not recognize Intel adapters with Compact Flash. The
adapter is functional and is recognized by the operating system.
