1) Installing the adapter drivers
---------------------------------
You must install or update the base drivers according to the methods and
requirements specific to each operating system. You can find the installation
information for most popular operating systems in the user guide. See section
6 (Viewing the user guide).

If you need the drivers on a diskette, a utility is included for creating driver
installation diskettes. Use the MAKEDISK.BAT utility located in the \MAKEDISK
directory, and follow the instructions below.

MAKEDISK [operating system] [destination]

where [operating system] is the OS for which you are creating the
diskette, and [destination] is the drive letter and path (such
as A:). If no destination is specified, the A: drive will be used.

The possible [operating system] options are:
XP    = Windows XP*
NT    = Microsoft Windows NT* 4.0 (requires 2 diskettes)
W2K   = Microsoft Windows* 2000
W9X   = Microsoft Windows* 95 and Windows 98 and Windows* ME
NW    = Novell NetWare servers and clients
DOS   = Microsoft DOS and IBM OS2
MODEM = Modem drivers for the PRO/100 Mobile Combo adapters
        for all Microsoft operating systems.

EXAMPLE: to create a driver install diskette for Windows 98 in the A: drive, enter
MAKEDISK W9X

Make sure you have a 1.44 MB formatted, non-bootable diskette in
the floppy drive when using this utility.

NOTE: Due to size limitations, PROSet and other advanced features
      cannot be installed from the floppy disk except in Windows NT 4.0

NOTE: This utility MUST be run from the \MAKEDISK directory.


2) Installing PROSet and advanced features in Microsoft Operating Systems
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROSet and other advanced features are available as separate installable
modules in this software release. You can install the advanced features only
AFTER you update the adapter drivers with the drivers found in this version.

To install advanced features, including PROSet, simply run SETUP.EXE from the
root of this archive. You will be presented with a list of installable
features. Many of the features are available in separate downloads. Note that
only those features that you have downloaded will be available for install.
See "Additional Software" below for more details.

In Windows NT* 4.0, PROSet will be installed automatically when you install
the drivers from this archive. This includes the installation from the floppy
diskette created by the MAKEDISK utility for Windows NT. The other advanced
features must still be installed as detailed above.

If you are upgrading from a prior version of Windows to Windows XP and you
have Intel PROSet software installed, it will be deleted in the process. 
You will need to reinstall Intel PROSet software as described above.

3) Compatibility
----------------

This release supports the PRO/100 S and PRO/100+ families of adapters, and the
PRO/100 VE, PRO/100 VM, PRO/10+ PCI and PRO/100B adapters.

This version adds support for Microsoft Windows XP*.

This web release version does not include Intel(R) Packet Protect. Packet
Protect is on the current CD, and may also be downloaded from 
http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pprotect/pprotect.htm. If you
download Packet Protect, you must first extract 100PDISK.EXE. Then extract
PPROTECT.EXE into the same directory before installing the drivers in Windows
NT 4.0, 98 or Me. Please see the instructions included with that download.

The Microsoft Windows 2000* and Windows XP IPSec products are fully supported.


4) Feature changes / additions
------------------------------

Support for Microsoft Windows XP has been added.

Windows XP localization enhanced to allow unattended installation in other
languages without user intervention.

Performance enhancement with decreased CPU utilization.

Native SNMP instrumentation for Windows and NetWare is now included 
separately from DMI instrumentation. Download 100PSNMP.EXE for for SNMP
instrumentation and 100PDMI2.EXE for DMI instrumentation. Linux SNMP
instrumentation is available in a separate download.

Improved support for English language installation on Japanese and Spanish
language OS.

Improved Windows NT unattended install to allow user to modify default PROSet
settings through the answer file.

Improved error descriptions in Event Viewer and log.

When installing multiple adapters in Windows NT 4.0, the adapters are now
logically enumerated in direct order (lowest numbered slot becomes the first
adapter).

This version of the Intel(R) PRO LAN adapter driver software enables
simultaneous teaming and VLAN capabilities in Windows 2000.

PROSet and the base drivers are now installed separately in Windows 9x, Me
and Windows 2000. The MAKEDISK utility for these operating systems will only 
copy the base driver installation files to the floppy. To install the 
advanced networking features in these OS's, you must install them from a CD, 
hard drive, or over the network once you have established a network 
connection.

Starting with release 5.0, Windows 2000 IPSec encryption offload works for
both transport mode and tunnel mode. Release 4.x only supported transport
mode offload.

This download does not include all the software featured on the Intel CD. See
"Additional Software" below for details.


5) Additional Software

To recreate the release 5.1.3 CD structure (minus the Linux and Unix files),
extract each archive into the same directory as this 100PDISK module. The final
directory structure should look like this:

C:\INTEL\ (or other directory path you chose to extract 100PDISK into)

	\bootAgnt
	\Cardbus
	\DMI
	\DOS
	\Info
	\makedisk
	\Manuals

Some of these directories may not be present, depending on the archive
modules you have downloaded and extracted.

There are some files that exist in more than one archive. When extracting an
archive per these instructions, the process may return a message indicating
that you are about to overwrite an existing file of the same name and prompt
for your approval. Choose "Yes" unless instructed otherwise.

To install these components in Windows, run SETUP from the root directory of
this download.

7) Errata and known issues
--------------------------

GENERAL

The Intel® PRO/100 Intelligent Server Adapter (PILA8480 only) is not
supported by this software release. Please see support.intel.com for the 
proper drivers.

In viewing the help for the advanced settings, you may notice some
inconsistencies between the help and the actual settings. Pressing the
Restore Default button will always take you back to the preferred default.

WINDOWS 98:

To update the drivers in Windows 98 SE to the drivers in this release, you
should first delete the existing drivers through the Network Control Panel or
Device Manager. Then restart the computer. When the computer detects the
adapter during Plug and Play installation on startup, use the drivers 
included with this archive.

Failure to follow this process may result in a message on reboot that the
device file WOL558.VXD is missing. See Microsoft Article Q242150.


VLANs:

When uninstalling a VLAN on a team in Windows NT 4.0, the 802.1Q tagging may
become disabled on remaining teams.  Windows will prompt for a reboot after
the VLAN is removed.  Choose No, then re-open PROSet and re-enable 802.1Q
tagging from the Advanced tab for each team member affected.  When prompted
for the reboot, choose Yes.

Under certain conditions on starting a service, you may receive an error in
the Event Log indicating NMSSvc cannot be found. This is a known cosmetic
issue and all services will run correctly.

See the file README.TXT in the root of this archive for more information.

8) Dual Port Server Adapter
---------------------------

Intel has combined security features with the ability to have two distinct
adapter ports in one PCI slot. The PRO/100 S Dual Port Adapter has a 64-bit
PCI connector, allowing the two 32-bit ports to operate with a 64-bit
bridge at 33 MHZ.

When installing a PRO/100 S Dual Port adapter, upgrade all Intel 10/100
adapters in the computer to the latest software. If the computer has trouble
detecting both ports, consider the following:

1. Your operating system may need to re-enumerate the bus. To force the re-
numeration, uninstall or unload the drivers for all PCI devices installed
and shutdown the computer. Then restart the computer and reinstall or reload
all drivers.

2. Some computers may need BIOS upgrades to properly detect the adapter's
bridge chip and both ports. 

3. The "Plug and Play OS" setting in the BIOS should be set to "Yes" for
Plug-and-Play operating systems such as Windows 2000 and set to "No" for
Windows NT and most other operating systems.
 
Adding this adapter through hot plug may present some difficulties. If your
second port is not detected, a restart may be required. When installing this
adapter in NetWare with hot plug, include the keyword "persist=1" in the
load line.
