The USB 1. 1 port should only be used when there is no other interface available on your PC for connecting to the network. This section contains instructions for installing USB drivers if your PC is equipped with a USB interface and a Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, or Vista operating system. The USB driver installation procedures are different for each operating system. Follow the appropriate instructions in this section for your operating system.
