The drivers you need are in the directories MSLANMAN.DOS, MSLANMAN.OS2 and
NDIS.  The NDIS drivers contained in these subdirectories are used with 3Com
3+Open, Microsoft OS/2 LAN Manager OEM distribution, Release 1.x or 2.x,
and other compatible OEM versions of LAN Manager.  The driver can also used
with IBM LAN Server 3.0, 4.0, Banyan VINES, ARTISOFT LANtastic 5.0, 6.0,
Wollongong Pathway Access, Microsoft Windows for Workgroups v3.11,
DEC PATHWORKS, Sun PC-NFS etc.


The drivers named FastNIC conform to the Network Driver Interface Specification
(NDIS) defined by Microsoft/3Com.

Sample PROTOCOL.INI Files and Parameters
----------------------------------------
[FASTNIC_NIF]

  DriverName = FSTNIC$
; Slot = 1            ;; {1-4}
; MEDIA = AUTODETECT
; {MEDIA = UTP, UTP_FD,UTP_100,UTP_100FD, AUTODETECT}

There are several parameters included in the FASTNIC_NIF section of the
PROTOCOL.INI file. However, the only parameter that you should specify
is the "drivername."

If you change other parameter settings, such as the MEDIA, make sure
that it matches the hardware setting.  Otherwise, the adapter may fail.

If you don't specify these settings, PCI 10/100 Fast Ethernet NDIS/2 driver
will automatically detect them.


SLOT        Specifies which network adapter is used by the driver.  If you
            have only one PCI 10/100 Fast Ethernet's LAN card in your
            machine, this parameter is unnecessary!  For two or more Fast
            Ethernet's PCI LAN cards, this parameter is required and cannot
            be omitted from PROTOCOL.INI. For the first FastNIC adapter, Slot=1, and
            the second one, Slot=2, third, Slot=3,..., etc.

MEDIA       Specifies the medium type used by the adapter.
            Acceptable values for this parameter are AUTODETECT, UTP, UTP_FD
            ,UTP_100 and UTP_100FD. If you didn't specify this settings it
            would be AUTODETECT for FastNIC.

            UTP   : 10BaseT, UTP_100: Fast Ethernet (100BaseTx)
            UTP_FD: 10BaseT with Full_Duplex
            UTP_100FD: 100BaseTx with Full_Duplex

            Default: AUTODETECT



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.
