Installation
============

This driver can be installed during operating system installation, or by
using the Network Adapters and Protocols tool (naps.exe).

The USB Warpin installer only copies the driver files to your system. After
the driver files are on your system, run the Network Adapters and Protocols
utility (naps.exe or System Setup->Adapters and Protocols) to set up the
network driver as usual. Then reboot. If you are already using this driver,
then the USB Warpin installer will update the files on your disk and there
is no need to reinstall. The new driver will be used when you reboot.

Note that the device must be plugged in before booting in order to operate
properly.
