Make sure that the 10/100 PC Card is inserted. 2. Check your system config config.sys. In order not to conflict with emm386, remark the the line "device=c:\dos\emm386" as "rem device=c:\dos\emm386" or edit it as "device=c:\dos\emm386 x=d000-d3ff" And add "LastDrive" command. For example: "lastdrive=M". 3. Save it and reboot your PC. 4. Insert the OEM diskette in the floppy drive. Choose the directory "A:\nwclient". 5. Copy all files to your local directory. 6. Execute startnet.bat, and the driver is installed. 7. Get on NetWare Server. For example: : : c:\m: m:login : : (Put the username and password for getting on NetWare) ======================================================================== Installing the NDIS2 driver for CardBus card is the same as for PCI card, in addition to the following steps: After install driver in Microsoft Client or Windows 3.11 1. Check config.sys and remove the argument "NOEMS" of EMM386.sys 2. Copy rtpci.exe and rtbios.com to any directory. For Example: c:\wfw311 3. In autoexec.bat, add two lines of command, "rtpci /md000 /i11" and "rtbios" in front of "net start" and "net initialize". For Example: If only "net start" exists, : : c:\wfw311\rtpci.exe /md000 /i11 c:\wfw311\rtbios.com c:\wfw311\net start : : or if "net initialize" exists, : : c:\wfw311\rtpci.exe /md000 /i11 c:\wfw311\rtbios.com c:\wfw311\net initialize : : 4. Restart the computer. ======================================================================= MacOS 8.x and MacOS 9.x Installation: 1. Make sure that the 10/100 PC Card is inserted. 2. Extract the file LNR100MacOS.sit from the MacOS folder in your floppy disk to the Desktop 3. Place the folder "LNR100 Driver for Mac OS" on the Desktop, if it isn't 4. Double click "Installer", then click the "Install" button to install the drivers 5. Click the "OK" button when prompted to Restart the computer 6. Follow the instructions in Section 2 and 3 in "LNR100 ReadMe.txt" (one of the three files extracted from LNR100MacOS.sit) to set the 10/100 PC Card up for your Mac ========================================================================= Packet Driver Introduction: ------------- This document describes the procedure to setup the Packet driver for CardBus fast ethernet card. Location of Driver: RTSPKT.COM Notes: ------ 1. Enable the CardBus fast ethernet card Execute encb.bat 2. Load the packet driver using the software interrupt and any optional switches if required. Usage: RTSPKT [options] <software_int_no> [-m media type] [bus_no device_no] Example: RTSPKT -i 0x7e The only required parameter is the software interrupt. A packet driver needs to have a software interrupt assigned to it for other programs to access it. The recommended interrupt 0x7e. If you need any of the options listed below, place them before the software interrupt on the command line. -i - Force driver to report itself as 802.3 instead of Ethernet II. -d - Delayed initialization. Used for diskless booting -n - NetWare conversion. Converts 802.3 packets into 8137 packets -w - Windows hack, obsoleted by winpkt -p - Promiscuous mode disable -h - Help -u - Uninstall 3. Media type can be used to force the card to work on specific speed and duplex mode. If no media type if specified, then driver will read hardware configuration from EEPROM on the card. The hardware configuration can be modified by running 'rset' directory on driver disk.Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
