In the bin directory are some utilities. The instructions for using them are a
little too terse for me.
scan.exe finds the card. Here is the output.
Device-Name : W8086x4220.nif

Infrastructure : 0x0 (AD-HOC)
Encryption : 0x0 (ENABLED)
Authentication : 0x0 (OPEN)
Privacy Filter : 0x0 (ACCEPT ALL)
The entry called Infrastructure is troubling me. Shouldn't that be set to
connect to my access point? How do I change that?

There ARE command line utilities, however by far the simplest solution is to download and install WLANMON (I recommend v 2.12) to let it change these settings for you and start the wireless radio.
Several of us have had issues with v 1.7 of the Genmac driver and have gone back to v 1.6.
I wrote a complete step by step install instruction list on this and the Genmac mailing list for this Intel 2200BG card a little while ago - I send it directly to your e-mail address rather than "clog up" the list here.
