  Before You Begin
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Thank you for purchasing your EtherFast 10/100 LAN Card from Linksys.  
  The instructions below explain how to set up the card's network 
  software drivers for use with your particular network operating system
  like Windows 95, Novell, Unix, etc.

  The EtherFast card is built for use in 32-bit, Plug-and-Play desktop
  computers with auto-configuring PCI slots.  It must be used in your
  PC's bus master PCI slot.  For further information, see the User Guide
  that came with the card.

  When a PCI card is used in a computer that has a Plug-and-Play BIOS
  (Basic Input/Output System), the card is automatically configured by 
  the PC each time the machine is booted.  The card's IRQ, memory address, 
  and other operating parameters are automatically assigned.  There is
  no way to change a Plug-and-Play card's IRQ and other settings outside
  of the BIOS menu(s) that your computer providse.  If the resources that
  are assigned to your EtherFast card seem to conflict with other devices
  in your computer, you will need to use your system's BIOS to resolve
  the conflicts.  
  
  If you have problems configuring your BIOS or resolving IRQ or other
  hardware conflicts, consult your computer manual or contact your PC's 
  manufacturer for BIOS setup & configuration directions.

  Here are some general guidelines to follow when installing a PCI card
  (like the EtherFast card) into your computer:
  
    
    *   If you need to configure your PC's BIOS in order to resolve an
        IRQ or other conflict with the EtherFast card, there are a few
        possibilities:
                      
                - Your PCI may not allow you to change the IRQ value(s) of 
                  the PCI slot(s).  In this case, you will ONLY be able to 
                  use the IRQ & MEM values that have been pre-assigned to 
                  each slot.  The popular BIOS from Phoenix, for example,
                  does not allow you to modify BIOS-assigned IRQ settings.
 
                - You may be able to change the IRQ & MEM values for a given 
                  PCI slot by setting jumpers on your PC's mother board. 
                  Please refer to your PC's motherboard user guide for 
                  specific instructions. 
 
                - Your PC may allow you to change the IRQ & MEM values for 
                  a given PCI slot by accessing the PC's BIOS setup menu. 
                  Please refer to your PC's user guide for specific details. 
                  The BIOSs from companies like AMI and Award are fully
                  customizable from their BIOS menus, for example.
    
    *   When loading the EMM386.EXE program in your computer's CONFIG.SYS, 
        you MUST use version MS-DOS 6.22 or above.  If you load an older 
        EMM386.EXE program (below DOS 6.22), your computer will hang up while 
        loading the network driver. 
 
    *   The EtherFast LAN adapter should be used in a 32-bit PCI slot that 
        supports PCI Local Bus Mastering.  It cannot be plugged into a PCI 
        Bus Slave slot.  Consult your motherboard's documentation for more 
        information on master & slave slots. 

    *   When using NT, set your BIOS PCI settings, and the PCI settings
        within NT itself, to MANUAL.  NT is *not* a Plug-and-Play BIOS,
        and will not usually recognize LAN cards if they are set to be
        automatically detected & configured.

  SETUP
  ------------------------------------------------  

  The directions below will create a boot diskette for a Banyan
  client workstation.

 1.  Copy all of the files from the EtherFast disk's NDIS\DOS
     directory to the directory on your hard disk where the VINES
     software is installed:

    OEMSETUP.INF
    PROTOCOL.INI
    LNE100.DOS
    
 2.  Execute the PCCONFIG utility from the workstation. This utility requires
     VINES v4.02 or later.

 3.  Select Network Card Setting from the Main Menu. When the list of options
      appears, select NDIS Ethernet.

      Select the PROTOCOL.INI BINDINGS= parameter, and specify LNE100_NIF

 4.  Press F10 to save and return to the Main Menu.

 5.  Select Login Environment Setting from the Main Menu.

 6.  Press F10 to save.

 7.  Make the following modifications to the CONFIG.SYS file:

     device = c:\banyan\protman.dot/i:c:\banyan
     device = c:\banyan\LNE100.DOS

 8.  Make the following modifications to the PROTOCOL.INI file, located in
     the \BANYAN directory:

    [PROTOCOL MANAGER]
     Drivername = Protman$

    [LNE100_NIF]
    Drivername = LNE100$
    SLOT = 1
    MEDIA_MODE = AUTODETECT
    NETADDRESS=#000000000000

    [VINES_XIF]
    Drivername = netbeui$
    Bindings = LNE100_NIF

    You can now use this diskette to connect your workstation to the server.

 9.  Reboot your system.  The installation is complete.
