can't find wireless network connection config on laptop

[George Chapman]

I'm trying to setup a wifi card (sandisk 128MB wifi) and was told to
disable zero config capability.
In xp help it says the following:

To set up automatic wireless network configuration
Open Network Connections.
Right-click Wireless Network Connection, and then click Properties.
On the Wireless Networks tab, do one of the following:
To enable automatic wireless network configuration, select the Use
Windows to configure my wireless network settings check box. This
check box is selected by default. For information about what happens

PROBLEM IS THAT I DON'T HAVE A WIRELESS NETWORK CONNNECTION ICON OR
MENU ITEM?
Anyone know why??
Thanks.

Hi George,

You should have a Wireless Network Connection icon when
you install a wireless network card. It should be located
in "My Network Places." Double-click "My Network Places"
on the desktop and click "View Network Connections." I'm
not sure what you mean by the zero config capability. If
you are talking about the Wireless Zero Configuration,
this must be started and set to automatic. You don't want
to disable it on wireless networks or that I'm aware of.

If this is the George I know... You are outta your

league. Otherwise check your network connections and re-
install that specific link.
