2.0 Special notice for Novell NetWare DOS ODI Client driver:
In some PCI machine, after the soft reboot the driver
will not receive any packets. In the worst case, the PC hangs.
The solution is to use new LSL.COM and IPXODI.COM .
We recommended the version :
LSL.COM Ver 2.05
IPXODI.COM Ver 2.12
3.0 The solution on the Novell 4.01 Standard Exchange Test and Intel's
Saturn(486) and Mercury(P5) chipsets
The Problem:
With the Intel's Saturn(486) and Mercury(P5) chipsets, the PCI card
is failing the Novell 4.01 Standard Exchange Test on both the server
and client sides. The failure is reported as excessive dropped packets.
The Exchange Test is required to pass Novell Certification.
The Solution:
The new version driver implements a new keyword "CDCOFF". The keyword
can be placed in the NET.CFG file for the DOSODI driver or on the load
command line for the server driver.
