Cisco Aironet Wireless LAN Client Adapters Installation and Configuration Guide for Linux

OL-1376-02

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

Site Requirements

In addition to the items shipped with the client adapter, you also need the following items to install the

adapter:

• A computing device (laptop, notebook, portable or hand-held device) equipped with a Type II or

Type III PC card slot or a desktop personal computer equipped with an empty PCI expansion slot

• A root login or superuser equivalence on the Linux PC

• Linux Kernel version 2.2.xx or 2.4.xx

• 25-MB free disk space

• CD-ROM drive or Internet access

Note All drivers and supporting software (Card and Socket Services) for the PC card slot must be loaded and

configured. A current version of Card and Socket Services is provided on the Cisco Aironet Wireless

LAN Client Adapters Drivers and Utilities CD and can be installed and configured during the driver

installation process. See the “Installing the Driver and Client Utilities” section on page 3-2.

• A Phillips screwdriver (for a PCI client adapter)

• The following information from your system administrator:

–

Your wireless client name

–

The protocols necessary to bind to the client adapter

–

The case-sensitive service set identifier (SSID) for your RF network

–

If you are not connected to a DHCP server, the IP address, broadcast address, subnet mask, and

default gateway address of your computer

–

The username and password for your network account

Site Requirements

Because the client adapter is a radio device, it is susceptible to RF obstructions and common sources of

interference that can reduce throughput and range. Follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible

performance:

• Install the client adapter in an area where large steel structures such as shelving units, bookcases,

and filing cabinets will not obstruct radio signals to and from the client adapter.

• Install the client adapter away from microwave ovens and 2.4-GHz cordless telephones. These

devices operate on the same frequency as the client adapter and can cause signal interference.

Note See the “Positioning Your Wireless Products” section on page 1-6 for additional guidelines on achieving

optimum placement of your workstation.
