(A) Driver Installation for DOS
================================================================
    1. Assume you have finished installing the NetWare Client 32
       for DOS on your computer, and the path you installed it
       is "C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32".
    2. Insert Driver Diskette.
    3. Copy following files under X:\LANDRV32 to
       C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32:
       
       SMC1255.LAN ------ Client32 ODI driver
       SMC1255.LDI ------ Driver installation information file.
       
       Notice: X: means the Floppy drive or CD-ROM drive,
               such as: A:, or E: etc.

    4. Modify STARTNET.BAT under C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32 refering to
       the following sample file.

       Sample STARTNET.BAT for DOS32
       =============================
       SET NWLANGUAGE=ENGLISH
       C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\NIOS.EXE
       LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\LSLC32.NLM
       LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\CMSM.NLM
       LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\ETHERTSM.NLM
       LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\SMC1255.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
       LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\SMC1255.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3
       LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\SMC1255.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_II
       LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\SMC1255.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_SNAP
       LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\IPX.NLM
       LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\CLIENT32.NLM

       NOTICE: Assume C:\NOVELL is the directory where your
               Novell Client 32 files are located.

    5. Reboot your machine.

(B) Parameter Description for SMC1255.LAN
================================================================
    The following parameters are used in DCNODI.LAN.

    1. SLOT   : specifies which adapter is enabled when multiple
                SMC1255FTX-SC adapters are found in your computer.
                The SLOT keyword is an index value corresponding
                to PCI BIOS.  The mapping from SLOT to the
                physical PCI slot is different from one computer
                to another.

                E.g.: LOAD SMC1255 SLOT=3 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2

    2. FRAME  : specifies which frame type is used by the driver.
                Accepted values are Ethernet_802.2,
                Ethernet_802.3, Ethernet_II and Ethernet_SNAP.
                Multiple frame types can be enabled by loading
                the same driver with different FRAME types.

                E.g.: LOAD SMC1255 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
                      LOAD SMC1255 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3
                      LOAD SMC1255 FRAME=ETHERNET_II
                      LOAD SMC1255 FRAME=ETHERNET_SNAP

    3. NODE   : Uses a different address to replace the node
                address burned in EEPROM.

                E.g.: LOAD SMC1255 NODE=00030FFFFFFF

    4. Medium : Specifies which medium type is used by the
                driver. Accepted vaules are AUTO,10-HD,10-FD,
                100-HD, 100-FD, 100F-HD, 100F-FD.

                E.g.: LOAD SMC1255 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 Medium=100-FD
