[KLUG Members] Getting our Compaq laptop on wireless

[Brock Inglehart]

Well, instruction 1 went well.  Looks like they were already loaded.  I
understand what the directive is to get in direction 2 but beyond that
I'm lost.  I do have the Windows XP Home disc that came with the laptop.
Looks like I need the 2 files before I get to the next part about
copying them over
