Re: wireless USB card setup

Hi
In most cases you do not run a wizard, you insert first the USB card in, the
computer would detect a new USB card and would ask for the Drivers, you
choose to install from a specific address and you maneuver or the menus to
place were the Drivers reside in.
Some devices want you to run first a program that installs the drivers and
or other related utility, in such a case, if the installation was done
correctly (may be a reboot is needed) the computer would detected the
drivers by itself.
However from your description it seems like you are running Windows utility
that can store the existing Wireless information on a USB Flash drive in
order to use it elsewhere. It is Not the proper thing to run for new
Wireless Card installation.
