for one brand.

4. INSTALLATION NOTES
4.1 Standard Installation
Please refer to the 'Getting Started Guide' or 'User's
Guide' that came with your product.
During installation, after giving driver path and NT files
path, the network installation will ask the user to reboot
the system. This only appears to be a problem when a clean
install of the OS is done and network components are
installed for the first time.
You can resolve this error by answering NO
to the first question to reboot the system after installing
the driver files. Only reboot the system after the Network
Install Wizard has Finished.
4.2 NT4 Softex Installation
When using the Softex driver for NT4.0 (variant 2 contains
a dedicated driver and a dedicated inf file) the Softex software
is required.
Softex is a PC Card wizard to allow for a Plug-and-Play look
and feel on NT4. For more information, please check
the Web Site www.softexinc.com for Softex PC Card Controller.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
5. TECHNICAL CONSTRAINTS
5.1 Compatibility with Station Functions Firmware on the Card.
This version of the driver requires the Station Functions
firmware on the Card to be version 6.04 or higher.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
6. KNOWN ISSUES
6.1 "RoamAbout" Add/Edit profile does not appear upon installation
The "RoamAbout" driver requires Windows NT Service Pack 4 or
higher.
In case you are running SP3 or lower, your Windows NT system
does not provide the Windows system DLLs required to make the
Add/Edit profile window work.
You can resolve this error by either:
* Installing Microsoft Windows NT Service Pack 4 or higher
(SP 6 is recommended),
* (Re-)installing the latest Client Manager.
* Run the patch 50comupd.exe provided on the RoamAbout Disk.
