OIT will install and configure your wireless card for you free of charge, with one exception. We will not install a wireless card in an Apple Titanium, running OSX. The Titanium must come with the Airport card already installed if running OSX.

For more information on how to have your card installed and configured, please read below.

Student Personally Owned Computer(meaning you own the computer)

You may take your laptop to the OIT Computer Support Service Center located in the Commons on the second floor of Hodges Library. We will install and configure the card for you free of charge. When you bring your laptop, please make sure you also bring your POWER SUPPLY AND CD-ROM DRIVE. We cannot do the installation without these two items.

University Owned Computer(meaning the University owns the computer)

You may call 974-9900 to schedule a member of the Lan and Desktop Support Team to come out and install and configure your wireless card free of charge.

Or, if you want to do your own installation and configuration, please visit our Wireless page where we have documented instructions for most of the supported operating systems. These instructions were written specifically for the Orinoco Silver 802.11b wireless card or the 3Com XJack wireless cards sold by OIT in the past.
