adapters, and operating systems.

The Broadcom Wireless Utility is a wireless LAN application that replaces the
default Microsoft Windows XP Windows Zero Configuration Service. Once the
Broadcom Wireless Utility is installed, the user is required to use the Broadcom
Wireless Utility to configure the Broadcom wireless device and manage the
wireless network connection.

The Broadcom Wireless Utility is required with the supported Broadcom adapters
