F. Parameter Description for LNE100TX.LAN

        The following parameters are used in LNE100TX.LAN.

    1. SLOT:     specifies which adapter is enabled when multiple LNE100TX adapters
                 are found in your computer.

                 Ex: LOAD LNE100TX SLOT=1 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
                     LOAD LNE100TX SLOT=1 FRAME=ETHERNET_II

    2. FRAME   : specifies which frame type is used by the driver.  Accepted
                 values are Ethernet_802.2, Ethernet_802.3, Ethernet_II and
                 Ethernet_SNAP.  Multiple frame types can be enabled by the
                 driver by loading the same driver with different FRAME types.

                  Ex: LOAD LNE100TX FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
                      LOAD LNE100TX FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3
                      LOAD LNE100TX FRAME=ETHERNET_II
                      LOAD LNE100TX FRAME=ETHERNET_SNAP

    3. NODE    : Use a different address to replace the node address burned
                 in EEPROM.

                  Ex: LOAD LNE100TX NODE=0200E8001122

G. NetWare OS2 ODI Workstation Driver Installation
==================================================
This section describes the procedure to install
the NetWare OS/2 ODI workstation driver for your adapter.

You can use the following methods to install the driver.

G.1 Install method

Requirements:
-------------
      Linksys LNE100TX(v5) Fast Ethernet Adapter Driver Diskette (LNE100TX.SYS)
      Driver Location: \NetWare\ODI\OS2ODI

Installation Procedure:
-----------------------
1  Run INSTALL utility for Netware OS/2 requester and follow its
   instructions.

2. Assign LNE100TX.SYS as the network interface driver name and specify
   the path as A:\NETWARE\ODI\OS2ODI.

3. Insert Linksys LNE100TX(v5) Fast Ethernet Adapter Diskette into driver A.
   then wait for file copy completion.

4. Choose the session support you need.  For more information, please
   see Netware OS/2 Requester Manual.

5. Save configuration.

6. Run CONFIGURATION UTILITY and select "THIS WORKSTATION" to modify the
   NET.CFG file. (This file is located in the root directoy of OS/2 system,
   you can use any text editor to modify it.)

7. Shutdown and restart the machine.


NOTE: If your OS/2 version is 2.0 or later, you must have the Netware OS/2
      Requester version 2.01 or later.

G.2 Manual method

 PREREQUISITES:  You will need the following diskettes:
      PCI 10/100 Fast Ethernet Adapter Diskette  (LNE100TX.SYS)
      Driver Location: \NetWare\ODI\OS2ODI

    Novell NetWare OS/2 WORKSTATION SERVICES REQUESTER diskette
    Novell NetWare OS/2 WORKSTATION OS/2 Utility - 1

    Make sure it precedes the IPX.SYS command line.  An example:

       DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\LSL.SYS          ; OS/2 Requester supported
       DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\DDAEMON.SYS      ; OS/2 Requester supported
       DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\LNE100TX.SYS     ; LNE100TX supported
       DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\IPX.SYS          ; OS/2 Requester supported


 6. Reboot the computer and log onto your network.



 -----------------
 INSTALLATION NOTE
 -----------------

 You can bind several frame types to the IPX protocol to support various
 configurations -- in the Link Driver LNE100TX section of the NET.CFG
 file.
