(Update Sept 05, 07 - It would seem that some fool by the name of "Maijeh" attempted to copy my guide and pass it off entirely as his own. He thought he could mask it by rephrasing some of it, but he just isn't that smart. He managed to get his version hosted on GameFAQs where he only credited himself. Contacting the powers that be over at GameFAQs, I was able to notify them and within 2 business days, the plagiarized guide was removed.
At this time I'd like to extend my thanks to those who saw the wrongdoing and also decided to report the guide. I don't have a clue as to how many there were, but in any case, you have my thanks. 
As for the tool who calls himself "Maijeh"... Don't ever mess with my Sh*t again. And don't think I don't know about your little MHF clan site. You can try to host your poser guide on your pathetic little site, but in all instances you are nothing more than a parasite, living off others to survive.)

{C}-At the moment, I do not plan to make any changes to this guide (other
than correcting any errors) unless there is a major update to software while
I still use both XLink Kai and Wifi MAX. I believe I have listed the steps
clearly enough so that everyone can understand and follow the steps. Do not
email me because you misread a step and screwed something up, because all I
will tell you is what the guide says at the end... "If it doesn't work, then
recheck the steps and make sure you did everything correctly." Also, do not
email me asking if other devices may or may not work. This guide is intended
strictly for use with the Wifi MAX** and XLink Kai.*
*(I have removed my email from this and all following versions due to excessive
emails... most of which were people getting me to join 'MSN Messenger en espanol')
**(UPDATE: Since the initial publishing of this my guide, it would seem that Datel
has possibly made a hardware revision to the Wifi max. What this means is that
the DS and any other WFM for a system other than the PSP will most likely not work
with the PSP. I have yet to decide if I want to purchase one of the new hardware
revised version of the PSP Wifi Max to test if the possible hardware revision makes
a difference. From this point on, don't come complaining to me if you can't get
your DS (or other non-PSP) Wifi Max to work with your PSP... YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!)
[I] Introduction
This is my first guide/faq that I've published. I've tried writing up others
in the past for a few games I own, but in the time I'd get the info I knew
into a text file, 3 other guides would pop up.
I found these steps in the XLink forums, originally written by "Shinchan^^".
I'm surprised no one else has made this information accessible without having
to go through forums. I've seen dozens of people asking the same questions
about getting this process to work properly on both the GameFAQs and XLink
Kai forums. Hopefully this should help a lot of you out and ease some stress
from the forums.
*BTW* - This guide was made when MHF (Monster Hunter Freedom) first came out.
I basically made it to help other MHF players get onto Kai, but these steps can be
used to get any game working.
Note: All program names and versions are what they were called at the time of
writing this guide. It is possible that the names be changed over time. Also,
this guide is intended to be used with Windows only.
[II] Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's this guide about?
A - It's a guide to help Wifi MAX users setup their initial connection to XLink Kai.
Q: What's Wifi MAX?
A - It's a device that allows you to connect your PSP wirelessly to the
internet. It also allows you to turn any Internet enabled PC into a high
speed wireless access point.
(Update - As stated in the disclamer, be sure you are using a PSP Wifi Max.)
Q: What's XLink Kai?
A - It's a program that allows you to use a process called "tunnelling".
Basically, it tricks the system into thinking it's playing a LAN game but it
actually connects to other players over the internet.
Q: What do I need to get this to work?
A -
Hardware:
*Internet enabled PC (preferably DSL or better)
*PSP Wifi MAX USB adapter
*PSP (loaded with Monster Hunter Freedom)
Software:
*ZyDAS ZD1211B v6.17.0.0 drivers for Windows (The *new* updated Wifi MAX drivers - as of 08/02/06)
(Direct File Link: www.viper-clan.com/Morty/ZD1211BWinPkgS_6_17_0_0_ALL.zip )
*XLink Kai Evolution VII

[III] Preparations/Setup Instructions
-----------------------------
[**UPDATE** - 04/28/2007]
Since the last time I updated this guide, the only notable changes are the [possibly] new hardware
revisions to the Wifi Max and the introduction of Micro$oft's Windows Vista. I will not be covering how to set
up Kai on Vista simply because I don't have Vista (nor do I intend to get it) and therefore I can't
dictate the steps taken to setup in a Vista environment. I'm sure the method isn't too far off from this and
with the information undoubtedly somewhere in the forums, you should be able to get past the OS hurdle.
[**UPDATE** - 08/14/06]
Since the last time I updated this guide, there have been upgrades to both XLink Kai and
the ZyDAS drivers for your Wifi MAX. I've updated the guide so all links are updated as of 08/14/06.
To upgrade either XLink Kai or Wifi MAX, you will need to uninstall the previous version before you install
the newer one. To uninstall either program, you can simply do so from your control panel. From your taskbar:
Start -> Settings -> Control Panel
When your control panel opens, select "Add/Remove Programs".
To uninstall XLink Kai select: "XLink Kai Evolution 7" and click on Remove.
To uninstall the ZyDAS drivers select: "ZyDAS IEEE 802.11 b+g Wireless LAN - USB" and click Remove.
The steps below work just the same for installing the new versions as it did for the old.
-----------------------------
(Preparation)
-For those who have installed the drivers from the CD that came with the Wifi
MAX, uninstall them so that we can begin. If you installed either of the
server programs and/or the media manager, you can leave them as is (they have
no effect or purpose in this process).
-Make sure that the Wifi MAX is NOT plugged in when you begin this process.
-Download both the driver and XLink Kai Evolution VII, and also register with
XLink Kai before beginning the process.
-Make sure your PSP's Ad-Hoc channel is set at 1. This is just so it's on a
constant setting. Everyone who wants to play together must be on the same
channel. (This setting is in the PSP's main menu before you start the game.
Check your PSP's manual for more info)
-Read through the setup before you attempt it, so that you aren't caught off
guard by a step because you rushed through it.
(Setup)
1-Begin by installing "XLink Kai Evolution VII" for Windows.
2-Once XLink Kai is finished installing, install the "ZyDAS ZD1211B v6.17.0.0
drivers for Windows ".
3-Once the Wifi MAX drivers have finished installing you can plug in your
Wifi MAX.
4-When you plug in the Wifi MAX it will begin to look for the drivers. Make
sure the CD that came with the Wifi MAX is not in the CD tray, as it may read
from there first and install the old drivers. When prompted, allow the
computer to search itself for the appropriate drivers, or if you know where
you it was installed, you can manually direct it to the proper location.
5-Load up your copy of MHF* the PSP. Get your character to the guild hall and
choose to join the multiplayer hall (Circle).
(Note* - For any other game... you have to get your PSP to search for another
Ad-Hoc connection. Since every game has a different way of doing this.. I can't
list them all. Just try to begin the process of getting into an Ad-Hoc game...
the goal is to get your PSP to send out a signal the Wifi MAX can pick up.)
6-Once your character has loaded into the hall, open up the ZDWLan Utility
(if it's not on, you can start it either from desktop or Start->ProgramFiles-
>ZyDAS...). In the ZDWLan utility, click "More Setting..." in the 'Current
Network Information'. On the top where it says 'General Connection Setting',
click the change button to edit the values to the following:
WIRELESSMODE: 2.4GHz(802.11b+g)
CHANNEL: 1
TX RATE: Auto
SSID: *leave blank, but make sure the 'any' box to the right is unchecked*
NETWORK TYPE: Ad-Hoc
AUTHENTICATION: Auto
ENCRYPTION: Disable WEP
Then click apply to set the changes.
7-At the bottom of the "More Setting..." window, click on the "Advanced
Setting..." button. A new window should pop up. On this window, just make
sure you have the 'Power Consumption settings' set to "Continuous Access Mode
(CAM)". Also, just below that... make sure you have the "PSP XLink Mode" box
is checked. You can now close out of both the "Advanced Setting..." and the
"More Setting..." windows.
Note: As for world roaming, I'm not sure what effect that has on this. You
can set it to either World Mode, or to the country you live in, but for now,
just leave it as is.
8-Now back on the main Utility window, click the refresh button below the
'Available Networks' to scan for your PSP. The SSID you are looking for
should look something like "PSP_AULUS..." and should have relatively high
signal strength. Double click on the PSP name and it should begin the
connection.
9-Close the ZDWLan utility window and open up the KAI Config.
(Start->Program Files->XLink Kai Evolution VII->Start Kai Config)
10-In the Kai Utility, below "Network Adapter" check the "Show Dangerous
NICs" box. You will be prompted to restart the Kai Config. Once you restart
the config, set the following accordingly:
Kai port: 0
Kai Deep port: 0
Enable PAT/Launch UI/Launch Engine/XBox Homebrew: *check what you want
applied -- see help for information on each*
(I personally have only the Launch UI and Launch Engine checked for this
process)
NETWORK ADAPTER: (ZD1211B)IEEE 802.11 b+g(US) *make sure the "Show
Dangerous NICs" box below is checked*
Default XTag(Username): *your username*
Default Password: *your password* *checking the "auto-login" is optional*
CLOSE ENGINE AFTER: Never
ACCEPT UI CONNECTIONS FROM: Any IP Address
Click OK to save settings.
11-Startup XLink Kai.
(Start->Program Files->XLink Kai Evolution VII->Start Kai)
12-Click on the Globe icon on the top row of icons. Then click the Magnifying
Glass. This is just to load up the arenas to test help verify a connection.
In the middle frame, next to the 2nd Icon down (the check board), it should
say "Network Reachable: Yes". If that is the case, then click the folder icon
below the "?" icon on the top frame. If everything was done correctly, it
should say "PSP successfully configured"
If you did not get the same end result, then recheck the steps and make sure
you did everything correctly.
If you did get the same end result, then congratulations, you are now
connected to Monster Hunter Freedom *Online*!!
(Or any other game your using this guide for).
