Card Removal and Re-insertion 2
Depending on the type of operating system installed on your
computer, you can remove and re-insert your
WaveLAN/PCMCIA Card whenever you like.
This feature, also referred to as ‘Hot Swapping’ for PC Cards
is supported by the following installation types:
● Windows 95 Systems
● “CS&SS-Based Installations” for “MS-DOS Systems”
(see page 2-5)
Note: When re-inserting the card, the WaveLAN/PCMCIA Card will
become operational again. However your network operating
system may not be able to restore the network connection. For
certain network operating systems, you may need to restart
your computer to rerun the network login procedures, before
you can reconnect to the network.
Although Windows 95 and Windows NT (version 4.0) are
similar in appearance, there is a major difference between the
two operating systems, affecting the support for removal and
re-insertion of PC Cards (‘Hot Swapping’) and ‘plug & play’
support.
You can remove the WaveLAN card at any time from a
computer that runs on the Windows 95 or Windows NT
Operating System. You are advised however to follow the
procedure as described for each of the operating systems.
You are advised to disable the PC Card prior to removing the
card. This will allow the operating system to disable the
WaveLAN drivers. To disable your PC card:
