Appendix A - Disabling/Removing Wifi Drivers

General
Several problems such as WDE1000 MCU application not detecting the WDE1000 card or other
internal WiFi cards stopping to work might be caused by conflict problems between WDE1000 card
and other WiFi cards using the same Atheros chipset (Cisco, D-Link, Proxim, etc.) during installation
process.
Other problems such as degradation of WDE1000 performance or unexpected behavior of WDE1000
can also be caused by conflict problems between the WDE1000 and other WiFi cards at running time.
In this case, the applications controlling the other cards should be disabled or uninstalled while
WDE1000 is running.
It is strongly recommended that before MCU installation, other WiFi drivers and applications running
on your machine are disabled. If disabling these drivers does not resolve the conflicts, it will be
required to uninstall them. To uninstall these drivers, refer to the instructions supplied by the vendor.
Refer to the following paragraph for disabling other WiFi Drivers.
