Click on the [OK] button to continue.
9. In the "Select OEM Option" window, select the "NETGEAR FA410TX Fast
Ethernet PC Card" item and click on the [OK] button.
Windows NT will attempt to locate the OEMSETUP.INF file in the
specified path and copy the appropriate drivers to the Windows NT
system.

keywords including "I/O Port", "IRQ Number", "Connection Type",
and "Network Address".
Check and make sure that the selected I/O port and IRQ nubmer
are not already in use by your system.
The default value of "Connection Type" is "AutoSense". The driver
will auto-detect the connecting media type. Other possible
connection type selections are "10BaseT", "10BaseT Full_Duplex"
and "100BaseTX".
Leave the "Network Address" empty to use the default MAC address
supplied by the FA410TX PC card.
11. Click OK.
12. Click Close in the Network window.
