   Workstation for OS2 ODI Client

   Introduction:
   -------------
   This document describes the procedure to setup the NetWare v3.X , v4.X
   OS2 workstation driver for PCI Plug&Play Ethernet adapter.

   Location of Driver:     \NETWARE\OS2ODI\PCIOS2.SYS

   Sample Configuration Files:
   ---------------------------
      CONFIG.SYS :
         DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\LSL.SYS          ; OS/2 Requester supported
         DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\DDAEMON.SYS      ; OS/2 Requester supported
         DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\PCIOS2.SYS       ; Manufacturer supported
         DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\IPX.SYS          ; OS/2 Requester supported

      NET.CFG :
         LINK DRIVER PCIOS2
              FRAME ETHERNET_802.3
              FRAME ETHERNET_802.2


   Installation Procedure :
   ----------------------
      Before you start the installation procedure, make sure that the
      adapter is properly  installed and configured. Similarly, Make sure
      that your NetWare  Requester  for OS/2 is properly installed.

      Please refer to "Novell NetWare Requester for OS/2" documentation for
      the detailed  Requester and Utilities installation guide.

      1. Copy the  PCIOS2.SYS  file into the NETWARE subdirectory of your
         hard disk from the Driver Diskette A:\NETWARE\OS2ODI.

      2. Add or replace the PCIOS2.SYS  in the CONFIG.SYS file.

      3. Edit the NET.CFG file that you copied over. Edit the file as your
         requirements (see examples above).  If there are two frame types
         listed, whichever frame type is listed first, that is the one that
         the driver will load.  See above for examples.

      4. Reboot your system to get service of network.

   NOTE:
   -----
   You can bind several frame types to the IPX protocol to support
   various  configurations. Add frame types you use in the Link Driver
   PCIOS2 section of the NET.CFG file. A sample is shown as below:

           Link Driver PCIOS2
               frame Ethernet_802.3
               frame Ethernet_802.2
               frame Ethernet_II
               frame Ethernet_snap
