Compatibility List
------------------
Because this driver follows Novell ODI Driver Specification
version 3.31, 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.

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."

Modifying an existing NetWare 3.12 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.
3. Please insert release driver diskette into floppy disk.
4. Copy all provided NLM and LAN files into your dos directory
which include SERVER.EXE.
Ex. >COPY A:\NETWARE\32BITLAN\NBI31X.NLM C:\NWSERVER
>COPY A:\NETWARE\32BITLAN\MSM31X.NLM C:\NWSERVER
>COPY A:\NETWARE\32BITLAN\ETHERTSM.NLM C:\NWSERVER
>COPY A:\NETWARE\32BITLAN\FETPCI.LAN C:\NWSERVER
5. Start the NetWare Server.
> CD \NWSERVER
> SERVER
6. From the Novell Server side, execute "LOAD INSTALL". Type:
:LOAD INSTALL
Select <System Option>
Select <Edit Autoexec.NCF file>
7. 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\FETPCI SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3
NAME=FETPCI_1_E83
BIND IPX FETPCI_1_E83 NET=xxxx
LOAD C:\NWSERVER\FETPCI SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2
NAME=FETPCI_1_E82
BIND IPX FETPCI_1_E82 NET=xxxx
LOAD C:\NWSERVER\FETPCI SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_II
NAME=FETPCI_1_EII
BIND IPX FETPCI_1_EII NET=xxxx
LOAD C:\NWSERVER\FETPCI SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP
NAME=FETPCI_1_ESP
