You need to enable Wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11) first. You don't need |
| 66 |
either of the 2100 or the 2200 modules; once you select Wireless LAN |
| 67 |
(IEEE 802.11) a new slew of options should come up, including the Intel |
| 68 |
Wireless Wifi option, and in there you should find your wireless card. |
