***  Lan Manager for NI6510 EtherBlaster with NDIS  ***
*******************************************************

          1.  The Lan Manager for DOS or OS/2 must be installed before
          the NDIS driver will function.  The installation procedure
          for Lan Manager is menu driven.  Among the items you will be
          prompted for during the installation include the Network
          Transport Protocol  (e.g. Netbeui), and the NDIS driver
          (e.g. NI6510.DOS).  Another file that is installed during
          this procedure is the Protman.sys file.  This file is
          responsible for binding the transport protocol to the NDIS
          driver.

          2.  You must examine the Protocol.ini file and ensure that the 
          following are specified:

               a.  The Transport protocol and which driver to bind it to.
               b.  The NDIS driver
               c.  The network interface board settings.

            (e.g.)
            [protocol manager]
              drivername=protman$

            [Netbeui]
              DriveName=Netbeui$
              Bindings=NI6510_NIF

              .
              .

            [NI6510_NIF]
              DriverName=NI6510$
              IOBase=0x300
              MaxTransmits=6
              MaxReceives=4
              MaxMulticasts=10

          3.  You must examine the Config.sys file and verify that the path to
          Protman.sys file, the NDIS driver file, and the Transport protocol 
          file are correct.

          (e.g.)
          device=C:\path\protman.sys /I:C:\path to protocol.ini
          device=C:\path\NI6510.DOS
          device=C:\path\Netbeui.sys ...

How To Update Drivers Manually

After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.

  • Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).

  • If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.

  • Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.

  • Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.

  • Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

  • From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.

  • Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.

Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
