MiniPCI Adapter and perform an unattended installation when the Intel® PRO/Wireless 2100
LAN MiniPCI Adapter is plugged in)
When this application is run after canceling the PnP hardware wizard, it installs the drivers. (The PnP
dialog displays when the hardware is inserted into a system with an operating system on which no Intel®
PRO/Wireless 2100 LAN MiniPCI Adapter is currently installed.) After the driver is copied to the
system, SetupWLD.exe triggers a rescan of the PCI bus to identify whether a card is present and installs
the driver automatically.
