Compatibility List
------------------
Because this driver follows Novell ODI Driver Specification
version 1.11(C Language), the NetWare version 3.12 NetWare
server must be patched to work with this driver. The patching
method is described as below:
1. Copy LOADER.EXE and LSWAP.EXE to the NetWare 3.12 server
directory.
2. Execute LSWAP.EXE at MS-DOS prompt from server directory.
Usage: LSWAP [loaderFilePath [serverFilePath]]
Default loaderFilePath = C:\NWSERVER\LOADER.EXE
Default serverFilePath = C:\NWSERVER\SERVER.EXE
PS. Both LSWAP.EXE and LOADER.EXE files provide by Novell.

Note: This ODI update is for English only.
****************************************************************
Before installing, make sure the following items have been
completed.
312PTx.EXE (Where "x" is 8 or higher) must be installed on
NetWare v3.12 file servers prior to installing ODI driver.
Without this patch the following message may be displayed
when NBI.NLM loads.
"Warning: This version of NetWare does not support protected mode
BIOS accesses. Without a loader patch some PCI drivers may fail."
Getting Started
---------------
Modifying an existing NetWare 3.12/3.2 Server
---------------------------------------------
1. Make a sub-directory NLMS.OLD under <SRVPATH> directory which
include SERVER.EXE.
Ex. <SRVPATH> = NWSERVER
>MD \NWSERVER\NLMs.OLD
2. Save NBI31X.NLM, MSM31X.NLM and ETHERTSM.NLM to NLMS.OLD
sub-directory. (v3.12 server only)
3. Get following files from NOVELL website and put them in floppy disk.
ETHERTSM.NLM Patch file for Netware 3.12 Server (v3.80).
MSM31X.NLM Patch file for Netware 3.12 Server (v3.95).
NBI31X.NLM Patch file for Netware 3.12 Server (v.2.25).
4. Please insert release driver CD into CD-ROM drive.
5. Copy all provided NLM and LAN files into your dos directory
which includes SERVER.EXE. (v3.12 server only)
Ex. >COPY <Floppy drive>:\NBI31X.NLM C:\SERVER.312
>COPY <Floppy drive>:\MSM31X.NLM C:\SERVER.312
>COPY <Floppy drive>:\ETHERTSM.NLM C:\SERVER.312
>COPY <CD drive>:\NETWARE\32BITLAN\DLKFET.LAN C:\SERVER.312
6. Start the NetWare Server.
> CD \NWSERVER
> SERVER
7. From the Novell Server side, execute "LOAD INSTALL". Type:
:LOAD INSTALL
Select <System Option>

8. Add below item into the server's AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
LOAD C:\NWSERVER\NBI31X.NLM
LOAD C:\NWSERVER\MSM31X.NLM
LOAD C:\NWSERVER\ETHERTSM.NLM
LOAD C:\NWSERVER\DLKFET SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3
NAME=DLKFET_1_E83
BIND IPX DLKFET_1_E83 NET=xxxx
LOAD C:\NWSERVER\DLKFET SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2
NAME=DLKFET_1_E82
BIND IPX DLKFET_1_E82 NET=xxxx
LOAD C:\NWSERVER\DLKFET SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_II
NAME=DLKFET_1_EII
BIND IPX DLKFET_1_EII NET=xxxx
LOAD C:\NWSERVER\DLKFET SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP
NAME=DLKFET_1_ESP
BIND IPX DLKFET_1_ESP NET=xxxx
9. Restart the server again.
