Preventing the Driver from Upgrading the Firmware

The Automatically Load New Firmware When NDIS Driver Is Updated parameter on the Aironet Client
Utility Preferences screen affects the firmware that is bundled with the driver, not the firmware that is
included in the Install Wizard. This parameter controls whether the driver (whenever it loads) installs
the firmware with which it is bundled. (The driver loads each time you insert a client adapter or reboot
your computer.)
To complete this procedure, you must have used the Install Wizard to install ACU.
Note
The Automatically Load New Firmware When NDIS Driver Is Updated parameter is functionally
Note
equivalent to the Disable Firmware Checking parameter in the Install Wizard. The parameter that is set
last is the one that governs how the driver behaves. Refer to
Open ACU.
