Re: [Karlnet] NDIS client association

[Roger Boggs <rogerboggs@att.net>]

You must thoroughly and completely uninstall the Orinoco 802.11b drivers 
and all it's remnants
from the machine before you install the TC Client software.  It usually 
involves editing several
lines in the registry to totally remove it.

This procedure is, or at least used to be, documented in the readme.txt 
file that came with the
TC Client download.

I don't know for sure, but I doubt that the procedure has been streamlined 
in recent months.

Anybody got a link for the TC "pre-Install" procedures on a machine that's 
already had
Orinoco drivers installed on it?
