NETGEAR FA310TX Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter
-----------------------------------------
Driver Installation for Novell NetWare Server version 3.11
----------------------------------------------------------
Getting Started
---------------
The necessary files for Novell NetWare installation are stored in
a self-extracting compressed format. The FA310TX NetWare driver
and the related NLM files need to be extracted prior to driver
installation.
Installation Procedure
----------------------
1. Copy the compressed file NETWARE.EXE from the \NETWARE directory
of the driver diskette into your hard disk. Execute NETWARE.EXE
at MS-DOS prompt to extract the drivers. The NetWare 3.11 driver
and the necessary NLM files are stored in the NW311 sub-directory.
Make a note of the target path where the drivers are installed.
2. Copy the NGRPCI.LAN from the target path into the subdirectory of
your server.
> Copy C:\<PATH>\NW311\NGRPCI.LAN C:\NWSERVER
3. Copy the supplied NLM files in the NW311 directory to your server
directory. Rename MSM31X.NLM as MSM.NLM at the same time.
> Copy C:\<PATH>\NW311\PATCHMAN.NLM C:\NWSERVER
> Copy C:\<PATH>\NW311\LSLENH.NLM C:\NWSERVER
> Copy C:\<PATH>\NW311\MSM31X.NLM C:\NWSERVER\MSM.NLM
> Copy C:\<PATH>\NW311\ETHERTSM.NLM C:\NWSERVER
> Copy C:\<PATH>\NW311\MONITOR.NLM C:\NWSERVER
4. Run SERVER.EXE from your server
5. At the NetWare prompt, enter "Load Install" to edit the
AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
:load install
Select <System Option>
Select <Edit Autoexec.NCF file>
6. Modify the server's AUTOEXEC.NCF as following.
load C:\NWSERVER\PATCHMAN.NLM
load C:\NWSERVER\LSLENH.NLM
load C:\NWSERVER\MSM.NLM
load C:\NWSERVER\ETHERTSM.NLM
load C:\NWSERVER\NGRPCI.LAN
bind ipx to NGRPCI net=xxxx
7. Press <ESC> Key when done editing
Select "YES" to save
Select "EXIT" to leave installation
8. Reboot the Server again. The Ethernet driver is now installed.
Parameters supported by the NetWare 3.11 server driver NGRPCI.LAN
-----------------------------------------------------------------
SLOT 1 - Forces the driver to search for the specified board
AUTOSENSE - This keyword configures the adapter to conduct
NWay Auto-negotiation to determine the network
speed and the duplex mode of the network connection.
TP - This keyword selects the UTP port on the
adapter; either "TP" or "TP_FULL_DUPLEX" must be
used together with the "LINE_SPEED" keyword.
TP_FULL_DUPLEX - This keyword selects twisted pair connection to
work in full duplex mode; either "TP" or
"TP_FULL_DUPLEX" must be used together with the
"LINE_SPEED" keyword.
LINE_SPEED - This keyword selects line speed between 10Mbps and
100Mbps on the network card. This keyword must be
used in together with the keywords "TP" or
"TP_FULL_DUPLEX".
Format: LINE_SPEED=<value>
Allowed values are: 10,100
For example, to force the network adapter to operate at 100Mbps and
half duplex, use the following line in AUTOEXEC.NCF or the NetWare
prompt:
: load C:\NWSERVER\NGRPCI.LAN TP LINE_SPEED=100

Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
