Situation

After installing Intel ProSet Wireless cards using the Intel Pro/Wireless Driver for 3945ABG version 10.5.2.0, the "Use pre-logon feature for wireless networks" option presented on the Wireless tab provided by the Intel software is added to the Novell Client, but this option is grayed out. This is illustrated in the following screenshot.


Resolution

The documentation provided by Intel for the Pro/Wireless Driver for 3945ABG version 10.5.2.0 states that it is compatible only with the Novell Client for Windows XP/2000 version 4.90 SP2. The option will not work for any other verison of the Novell Client.

Customers will need to contact Intel to request support for the Intel Pro/Wireless card on current Novell Client versions.
