              Driver Installation for Microsoft Windows 95
              --------------------------------------------

  Getting Started
  ---------------
  Microsoft Windows 95 does not come bundled with the driver for the
  NETGEAR FA410TX PC card. You must go through the following procedure
  to install the device driver into the Windows 95 system for the adapter
  to function correctly.

  The Windows 95 installation disks or CD are needed to complete this
  installation.

  Installation Procedure
  ----------------------
  There are two versions of Windows 95: the original Win95 and Win95 OSR2.
  You can find out the Win95 version number from the System icon under
  Control Panel.  You will see "4.00.950" or "4.00.950a" with the original
  Windows95 while Win95 OSR2 will show "4.00.950B".

  The driver installation procedure for the two versions are different.
  Following are the installation procedures for the two different Win95
  versions.

  Installation Notes for Win95 OSR2

    1. Insert the FA410TX Fast Ethernet PC card into an available PCMCIA
       slot in your notebook computer.  Power on the system.

         Windows found the following device driver -

           "NETGEAR FA410TX Fast Ethernet PC Card"

    5. Click the Finish button.  Win95 will start copying the FA410TX Fast
       Ethernet PC Card driver into the hard disk.

    6. When Windows asks for the "netfa410.inf" file again, enter "A:\"
       and click OK.

       slot in your notebook computer.  Power on the system.
       (You can also insert the card after starting your notebook computer.)

   Advanced Setup
   --------------
    The FA410TX driver configures the adapter card to operate in autosensing
    mode by default.  In this mode, the card automatically selects the most
    appropriate operating speed and duplex mode.  There might be instances
    when you need to configure the adapter card to operate at a particular
    speed and duplex mode.  The following procedure guides you into the
    Windows 95 system for this setting.

    1.  In Control Panel, open "Network".

    2.  Click on the "NETGEAR FA410TX" adapter selection and the "Properties"
        button.

    3.  Click on the "Advanced" tab in the FA410TX adapter card window.

    4.  Click on the "Connection Type" property selection.

    5.  The "Value" windows will show the following possible selections:

          Auto Sense            (Automatically deciding between the following
                                three modes)
          10Base-T              (Ethernet)
          10Base-T Full Duplex  (Full-duplex Ethernet)
          100BaseTX             (Fast Ethernet)
          100BaseTX Full Duplex (Full-duplex Fast Ethernet)

          Choose the appropriate setting as needed.
