General Notes
--------------
Several network operating systems use a standard 2.0.1 version NDIS
driver to talk to the network adapter. The EtherExpress PRO/100 adapter's
NDIS driver conforms to the Microsoft NDIS 2.0.1 specification.
The NDIS subdirectory on the EtherExpress PRO/100 disk contains the files
needed to use the adapter card with one of these operating systems. The
files and their purpose are listed below.
E100B.DOS
NDIS driver for DOS workstations.
E100B.OS2
NDIS driver for servers & OS/2 workstations.
PROTOCOL.INI
A fragment of the general PROTOCOL.INI file. This fragment contains
information specific to the EtherExpress PRO/100B adapter. You'll need
to add this fragment to the general PROTOCOL.INI file.
E100BEO2.NIF (located in \NDIS directory)
The Extended Network Information file (NIF) that IBM OS/2 uses during
its installation process.
E100BEDS.NIF (located in \NDIS directory)
The Extended Network Information file (NIF) that IBM LAN Support uses
during its installation process.
E100BOS2.NIF and E100BDOS.NIF
The standard NIF file used with Microsoft LAN Manager installations.
Other network operating systems may use these during their
installation. If needed, these files (one for DOS, one for OS/2) are
located in the following path:
DOS: \MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\NIF
OS/2: \MSLANMAN.OS2\DRIVERS\NIF

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.
