Workstation for OS/2 Requester Client
v3.02
NetWare OS/2* ODI Client Driver Installation Notes for Intel's
EtherExpress(TM) PRO/10 LAN Adapter
==============================================================
Location of Driver: \OS2\EPROODI.SYS
Sample Configuration Files
--------------------------
CONFIG.SYS (will contain)
DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\EPROODI.SYS
NET.CFG
LINK DRIVER EPROODI
PORT 300
FRAME ETHERNET_802.3
FRAME ETHERNET_802.2
General Installation
--------------------
NOTE: If you are running IBM OS/2* 2.0 or OS/2 2.1, you will need to
have the OS/2 Requester version 2.01 or later (available from
Novell).
If you have a Plug and Play BIOS, make sure you DISABLE Plug and Play on
your adapter using SoftSet2 (Change Adapter Configuration, Advanced
Options menu). OS/2 doesn't support Plug and Play. It doesn't support a
Configuration Manager. As a result, OS/2 may not be able to find your
adapter if Plug and Play is enabled.
1 Run Novell's INSTALL utility on the OS/2 Requester disk and follow
Novell's instructions. When asked to enter the name of the network
interface driver, enter EPROODI.SYS.
2 Choose the session support you need. This is based on your
configuration. See the NetWare* Requester manual if you need help.
3 Save the configuration.
4 When asked to enter the path and filename for the driver, insert the
driver disk in drive A and enter A:\OS2\EPROODI.SYS.
5 When the installation section is complete, select "Configuration" from
INSTALL's main menu, then select "This Workstation". This will allow
you to modify the NET.CFG file.
NOTE: The default frame type for EPROODI.SYS is 802.2. If you are
using the 802.3 frame type, you have to include a frame
statement in the NET.CFG file. See the NET.CFG example above.
Hints and Tips
--------------
1 Verify Driver Loaded Properly
In the Config.sys file, put a "fake" device=xxx statement following
the EPROODI.SYS line. The screen will stop and you can check for error
messages.
2 Error message "not getting a connection ID"
This OS/2 error usually results from a frame type mismatch. Ensure the
NetWare* server (type CONFIG at console) and this workstation (review
NET.CFG file) are loading the same frame types.
3 NET.CFG Options
All NET.CFG options (except LINK DRIVER EPROODI) are optional for
single adapter installations.
PORT - This is the base I/O address of the adapter. If the port option
is not present, it will try to load at I/O 300. If the board is not at
300, it will return with an error message stating board not found.
INT - <optional> The system IRQ for the adapter to use. This option is
only used as a reminder which IRQ the board is set for. It does not
cause the driver to override the EEPROM contents.
NODE ADDRESS - This parameter allows the driver to override the
Ethernet address in the EEprom. This is Novell's node address override
feature. To comply with Novell's multicast specification, the second
digit of the overriding address should be a 2, 6, A or E.
Syntax:
NODE ADDRESS 00AA00123456

Download Driver Pack
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.
