Introduction:
=============

  The Fast  Ethernet 10M/100M  ODI Driver  for NetWare  5.0, 5.1  & 6.0  Servers
  confirms  to the  Novell Open  Data-Link Interface  (ODI) specification.  This
  document  shows you  how to  setup the  driver and  how to  use the  enhanced
  functions by setting 
  the custom keywords.

=============================

    FETNWSC.LAN         The ODI driver for NetWare 5.0, 5.1 & 6.0 Servers.
    FETNWSC.LDI         The installation information file.
    NW56.TXT            This file.

Installation:
=============

  Before starting with the installation process, make sure that the adapter
  is properly installed and configured. You can use the diagnostic program
  (A:\SETUP.EXE) in DOS mode to make sure your connection with the network is
  correct.

  Using Server Install utility:
  -----------------------------
    1) On the server console :
        For Netware 5.0, 5.1 & 6.0 , execute the NWconfig program:
           NWConfig <Enter>
           
    2) Choose "Driver Option/Configure network drivers/Load an additional driver".

    3) Press the <Ins> key to install the driver which is not on the list.

    4) Press <F3> to specify a different path and press <Enter>.

    5) The FETNWSC.LAN should appear on the selection list. Press <Enter> to
       choose it.

    6) You can choose "Select/Modify driver parameters and protocols", and then choose
       "Save parameters and load driver" to finish driver loading.

  Loading Driver Manually:
  ------------------------
    1) On the server console, load the driver directly, for example:

          LOAD A:\NETWARE\NWSERVER56\FETNWSC FRAME=Ethernet_802.2

    2) Bind with IPX:

          BIND IPX FETNWSC

    3) You can login the server from a workstation, and then copy FETNWSC.LAN to
       the directory SYS:\SYSTEM on server. Add the LOAD and BIND command lines
       to AUTOEXEC.NCF file so that the lan driver will be loaded automatically
       while the server starting up next time.


  NOTE:
  -----
    1) Multiple Lan Adapters in a system:
        If you want to install mutiple lan adapters in a server, you have to use
        the keyword, SLOT, to let driver locate the right adapter.
        For example:

            LOAD FETNWSC SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=Lan_1
            BIND IPX TO Lan_1 NET=2001
            LOAD FETNWSC SLOT=2 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=Lan_2
            BIND IPX TO Lan_2 NET=2002

    2) Tagging ability :
        If keyword "TAG" is supported, the transmited packets
        will be tagged packets. It's only supportted by management adapter.
        
    3) Hardware checksum offload :
        If "HCHECHSUM" keyword is supported. The ability will be activated. 
        It's only supported by management adapter.
        
    4) VLAN support :
        For now, we only support one VID value setting. It's only supportted by 
        management adapter.
        
    5) The original keywords "FULLDUPLE", "HALFDUPLE", "SPEED" and "AUTO" are still
       supported.

Configuration Parameters:
=========================

    Custom Keywords:
    ----------------
  
        FULLDUPLEX                      This keyword is used to force full
                                        duplex mode.
   
        HALFDUPLEX                      This keyword is used to force half
                                        duplex mode.
 
        FLOW_CONTROL                    This keyword is used to specify flow control
                                        ability.
            FLOW_CONTROL=DISABLE
            FLOW_CONTROL=ENABLE
            FLOW_CONTROL=HARDWARE_DEFAULT   (default)
            
        HCHECKSUM                       This keyword is used to force hardware checksum.
                                        Only be supported by management adapter.
            HCHECKSUM=DISABLE
