Novell NetWare OS/2 ODI Client
------------------------------
To install OS/2 ODI client driver, the Novell OS/2 Requester should be used.
Load the NetWare OS/2 ODI client driver from the OS/2 (CONFIG.SYS) file in
the sequence given below. See the Novell NetWare Requester OS/2 Installation
documentation for more information.
After installing the OS/2 Requester, follow the steps listed below:
1 Using the Netware OS/2 disks provided by Novell, install the Netware
OS/2 Requester files on the client. Follow the instructions displayed
to configure the Netware OS/2 Requester for a Netware-supported LAN
adapter card.
If the Netware-supported LAN adapter card contains the PCnet adapter
option, select it, otherwise select any other LAN adapter.
2 Insert the ISA Ethernet Card driver diskette into the floppy drive.
3 Copy the OS/2 ODI driver (E200NW.SYS) from the ISA Ethernet Card
driver diskette to the C:\NETWARE directory of the boot drive
using the path:
A:\OS2ODI\E200NW.SYS
4 Edit the (CONFIG.SYS) file and replace the Netware-supported LAN
adapter driver with the name of the ISA Ethernet Card OS/2 ODI driver
(E200NW.SYS). For example:
DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\E200NW.SYS
If the Novell OS/2 Requester is used to install the driver, the
Requester will automatically make modifications to the (CONFIG.SYS)
file.
The following is an example of the (CONFIG.SYS) load sequence for
NetWare 3.12 OS/2 ODI driver support using the IPX protocol stack.
REM --- Netware Requester Statements BEGIN ---
SET NWLANGUAGE=ENGLISH
DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\LSL.SYS
RUN=C:\NETWARE\DDAEMON.EXE
REM -- ODI-Driver Files BEGIN --
DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\E200NW.SYS
REM DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\ROUTE.SYS
REM -- ODI-Driver Files END --
DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\IPX.SYS
DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\SPX.SYS
RUN=C:\NETWARE\SPDAEMON.EXE
DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\NWREQ.SYS
IFS=C:\NETWARE\NWIFS.IFS
RUN=C:\NETWARE\NWDAEMON.EXE
DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\VIPX.SYS
DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\VSHELL.SYS GLOBAL
REM --- Netware Requester Statements END ---
The default settings may be modified when the driver loads by creating
the file (NET.CFG). The OS/2 ODI client driver may also be installed
to support multiple protocol stacks and Ethernet frame types. Refer to
the Novell Netware Requester OS/2 Installation documentation for more
information on configuring the (NET.CFG) file.
5 Reboot the system.
The installation of the NetWare OS/2 ODI client driver is now complete.

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.
