[3] CLIENT DRIVER (For DOS environment Only)
The CLIENT DRIVER, CBGO.EXE, is a CardBus controller enable program.
This enable program is only needed for DOS environment. You should
install the Socket and Card service in your Notebook before executing
the client driver. If you do not have the Socket or card service
program, please call your notebook vendor. The client driver will keep
resident for handling card insertion and removal events. This feature
can prevent the system from crashing when the card is removed from
socket.
To load the client driver, type
CBGO [/INT=x][/PORT=xxx][/U][/?]
in DOS command line, or
DEVICE=[PATHNAME]CBGO.EXE [/INT=x][/PORT=xxx][/U][/?]
in config.sys file.
where:
[/INT=x] This specifies the hardware interrupt (IRQ) where your
card will be indicated.
The valid IRQs are 3,4,5,6,9,10,11,12,15.
[/PORT=xxx] This specifies the I/O address. The valid ports are
xx00 or xx80, where xx =04~FEh.
[/U] This specifies the client driver will free the
resident program when the card is removed from the
socket.
[/?] This specifies to indicate the program to display all
the possible syntax only.
The default syntax is:
CBGO /INT=5 /PORT=400
After you have executed the CBGO.EXE, you will see the following
display to ensure installation was successful.
Socket : 0 (for example)
IRQ Number : 05 (for example)
I/O PORT Base : 0400H (for example)
Here is the list of error messages the driver may display and the
correction method we suggest:
[Error 1]
"Enabler Fail in Request IRQ."
The IRQ number which you specified is not supported by the Card
Service or in conflict with another device.
Correction: Change the IRQ number to another valid value as listed
above.
[Error 2]
"Enabler Fail in Request IO Port."
The IO port which you specified is not supported by the Card
Service or in conflict with another device.
Correction: Change the IO port to another valid value as listed above.
[Error 4]
"General Error."
Failed to register service with the Card Service program.
Correction: Reboot the system and try again.
[Error 5]
"Card Service is not compliant with Version 5.00 or higher!"
Correction: Install a new Card Service.
[Error 6]
"CardBus 10/100 is not active ! Enable again."
Maybe the Ethernet controller malfunctioned.
Correction: Contact your dealer.
[Error 7]
"Your card service is outdated."
"Please install new version of Card Service."
Correction: Install a new Socket and Card Service.
[Error 8]
"Parameter Too Long."

Correction: Refer to the default syntax list above and correct it.
[Error 10]
"Invalid Value !"
An invalid parameter value.
Correction: Refer to the valid values list above and correct it.
[Error 11]
"Card Service Driver is not loaded."
"Please load the Card & Socket Service Drivers first, or
use "ENABLER.EXE" to enable the card directly."
Correction: As the description of the error message has indicated.
[Warning 1]
"The Enabler is already resident."
The CBGO.EXE has already been executed.
Correction: Reboot your system.
[Warning 2]
"Please insert New Media CardBus 10/100."
The New Media CardBus 10/100 is not detected.
Correction: Insert the card.
If you have no Card and Socket Services Drivers, you may execute the
point enabler, ENABLER.EXE, to directly control the CardBus controller
of your computer. To execute ENABLER, type
[path]ENABLER.EXE [-il xx] [-io xxxx] [-pi]
where
[path] the path where the ENABLER.EXE resident
[-il xx] Specifies the hardware interrupt (IRQ) where your
card will be indicated. Default value is 5
The valid IRQs are 3,4,5,6,9,a,b,c,f.
The option is valid only if the "-is" option is given.
[-io xxxx] Specifies the I/O address. Default value is auto
detect. The valid port addresses are
x000, where x=Dh~Eh.
[-is] Force the controller use ISA IRQ routing
Here is the list of error messages the ENABLER.EXE may display and
correction method we suggest:
**** PCI BIOS not detected!
PCIBIOS Ver 2.1 or higher is not present.
Correction: Please contact your Notebook vendor.
**** Unable to locate any PCI-to-CardBus Bridges
Cannot detect any PCI-to-CardBus bridge.
Correction: Make sure your notebook is equipped with CardBus
controller. If it is not, please contact your notebook
vendor.
**** Please insert New Media CardBus 10/100.
The New Media CardBus 10/100 is not detected.
Correction: Insert the card.
[4] DIAGNOSTIC PROGRAM

client driver, CBGO.EXE, or point enabler, ENABLER.EXE,
is installed.
[5] NETWARE DOS ODI DRIVER
To install ODI driver, type INSTALL from a: drive, and choose Netware
Client. The install program allows you to do auto configuration where
the program automatically selects the most suitable option settings,
or do a custom configuration where you individually select each option
setting. The INSTALL program installs the ODI driver and modifies your
AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files, and saves the original files as
AUTOEXEC.PCM and CONFIG.PCM.
The following six files will be copied:
LSL.COM ---- supported by Novell
CBODI.COM ---- Novell DOS ODI Driver
IPXODI.COM ---- supported by Novell
NETx.COM ---- supported by Novell
NET.CFG ---- optional,configuration file
STARTNET.BAT ---- batch file to start netware login
To change NET.CFG, please refer to Netware 386 Installation
appendix E, and Section 4.6 of New Media CardBus 10/100
user's manual for more information.
Below is a sample NET.CFG file:
