Removing a Client Adapter
Follow the instructions in one of the sections below to remove a PC card, PC-Cardbus card, or PCI card
from a computing device, when necessary.
Removing a PC Card or PC-Cardbus Card
To remove a PC card or PC-Cardbus card after it is successfully installed and configured (such as when
your laptop is to be transported), completely shut down your computer and pull the card directly out of
the PC card slot or Cardbus slot. When the card is reinserted and the computer is rebooted, your
connection to the network should be re-established.
Note
If you need to remove your PC card or PC-Cardbus card but do not want to shut down your computer,
double-click the Unplug or Eject Hardware icon in the Windows system tray, select the Cisco Aironet
client adapter you want to remove under Hardware devices, click Stop, and click OK twice. Then pull
the card directly out of the card slot.
