Installation Procedure:
From the "Network" window, select "Network Setup" item.
Click "Drivers.." button to install driver.
In the "Network Drivers" dialog box, choose "Add Adapter" button.
When LAN drivers is installed, Windows for Workgroups will present a list
of all available drivers. Since there will be no drivers initially,
select Unlisted for 3rd party adapters not in the driver list.
Windows for Workgroups will ask for the drive/path containing the driver.
Type the following (assume the driver is located at C:\WFW311)
C:\WFW311
Windows for Workgroups will attempt to locate an OEMSETUP.INF file in the
specified path. If you have entered the path name correctly, Windows
for Workgroups should copy the appropriate drivers to the Windows for
Workgroups system.
At this point, the driver would have been properly copied and the
installation would proceed to the next step. Please refer to your
Windows for Workgroups installation guide for correct procedures.
The driver allows you to specify your network connection type and
the network address.
In the "Netwrok Drivers" dialog box, choose Setup button:
For "Connection Type", choose the AutoSense option.
The driver will auto-detect the media that is connecting to the
adapter.

default unique ethernet address that written in the adapter's
PROM. If you want to change the ethernet address use the following
format:
xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx

xxxxxxxxxxxx
After the initial installation, the drivers will be permanently
copied to the Windows for Wrokgroups system.
Subsequent network driver lists will already contain this drivers.
