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 ETHPCI conform to the Network Driver Interface Specification
(NDIS) defined by Microsoft/3Com.

Sample PROTOCOL.INI Files and Parameters
----------------------------------------
[ETHPCI_NIF]
DriverName = ETHPCI$
; Slot = 1 ;; {1-16}
; SIA_Mode = AUTODETECT
; {SIA_Mode = TP, BNC, TP_FULL_DUPLEX, AUTODETECT}
; DATA_RATE = MB10 ;; {MB10, MB100}
There are several parameters included in the ETHPCI_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 SIA_MODE, make sure
that it matches the hardware setting. Otherwise, the adapter may fail.
If you don't specify these settings, Generic's NDIS/2 driver
will automatically detect them.
SLOT Specifies which network adapter is used by the driver. If you
have only one Generic's PCI LAN card in your machine, this parameter
is unnecessary! For two or more Generic's PCI LAN cards, this
parameter is required and cannot be omitted from PROTOCOL.INI.
For the first GFC2202 adapter, Slot=1, and the second one, Slot=2,
third, Slot=3,..., etc.
SIA_MODE Specifies the medium type used by the adapter.
Acceptable values for this parameter are AUTODETECT, TP, BNC
and TP_FULL_DUPLEX. If you didn't specify this settings it
would be AUTODETECT for GFC2202.
DATA_RATE Specifies the line speed for GFC2202, default is
MB100.
MB100: 100Mbps, MB10: 10Mbps
TX_THRESHOLD
Specifies the FIFO threshold level during packet transmittion.
Acceptable values for this parameter are
Keywords Level (bytes) Suppot

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.
