802.2 Default Frame Type Novell's new Ethernet ODI workstation drivers default to the 802.2 frame type. Older Ethernet drivers default to the 802.3 frame type. Only the IPX protocol can use the 802.3 frame type. The change to 802.2 allows compatability with, and greater connectivity to future products. This diskette contains a new ODI workstation driver. It is for the DOS environment only and therefore defaults to the 802.2 frame type. Driver frame types can be changed from default to another frame type by using the FRAME command in the workstation NET.CFG file with a valid "frame type" parameter. Valid "frame types" include: ETHERNET_802.2 ETHERNET_802.3 ETHERNET_II ETHERNET_SNAP When using the DOS ODI workstation driver (802.2 frame type) found on this diskette, make sure that your server uses the same frame type. The server LAN driver frame type can be configured by using the FRAME = "frame type" parameter when loading and binding the server driver. For more information on NET.CFG parameters, see "NetWare Workstation for DOS" or "ODI for DOS User's Guide".Download Driver Pack
