The steps you use to install the driver software depend on your operating system (OS). This procedure provides
instructions for installing driver software on a Windows 7 OS.
NOTE Windows 8 steps are basically the same as Windows 7, although the dialog displays
may differ somewhat.
NOTE The XGX U S and XGMS cards use the same driver.
NOTE You can use either the Device Manager path or the Devices and rinters path to browse
for the driver software and install it. This procedure uses the Device Manager.
To install the driver from the Device Manager:
1. Click Start in the Start bar. Type Device in the search box.
2. Select Device Manager from the list above the search box. The Device Manager opens.
3. Locate RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget under either Other Devices or Network Adapters (see Figure 5).
• If you do not see RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget in either list, you do not have a cable connected to the card.
Connect the computer to the card. Go back to Step 1.
• If RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget is listed under Other Devices, the driver is not installed. Go to Step 4.
• If RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget is listed under Network Adapters, a driver is installed already, but it may not
be the most up-to-date driver. Go to Step 4. and continue this procedure to ensure the most current
driver is installed.
