      It is actually already (Should be) installed. It is a service that you have to turn on. It is called "Wireless Zero Configuration."

      This link should suffice with directions on setting it up:

      After you turn the server on, look at the tray (near the clock at the bottom right), and you should see a little connection sign.

      Make sure you check the security of the network, you may have to change the security type to get in.

      Post if you need more help.

      Not true, the WZC interfaces with the card driver to provide and automate connection to different access points; if youdon't install the driver for the hardware, then WZC has nothing to interface with.

      Try this driver:
