3. Configuration Guide for Windows Built-In Wireless Utility

There are two methods of configuring Windows Vista; auto and manual.

In auto, the connection wizard will guess the parameters such as SecurityType, Encryption Type and Server Certificate Validation.

In manual, all parameters are configured and hardcoded.

Auto is the easier method, however, if the connection wizard fails to guest the correctparameters, the profile creation will not be successful. In that scenario, manualmethod must be used.
