1) Installing PROset
--------------------
PROSet is available as a separate installable utility in Windows 2000*,
Windows Me, Windows 98 and Windows 95. You can install PROSet only AFTER
you update the adapter drivers with the drivers found in this version.
To install PROSet, simply run install_proset.bat from the root of
this archive.
PROSet will be installed automatically in Windows NT* 4.0 when you install
the drivers from this archive.
2) Compatibility
----------------
This web release version does not support or include Intel(R) Packet Protect.
For Packet Protect, you must install the drivers that are included on the
same Intel(R) CD as Packet Protect.
The Microsoft Windows 2000* IPSec product is fully supported.
3) Feature changes / additions
------------------------------
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.
In Windows NT 4.0, PROSet will be installed when the base drivers are
installed. This includes the installation from the floppy diskette created
by the MAKEDISK utility for Windows NT.
This download does not include all the software featured on the Intel CD. See
"Additional Software" below for details.
4) Additional Software
----------------------
This download does not include all of the software featured on the Intel CD.
To obtain the additional software modules, you will need to download each
module separately.
Modules available for download are;
100PDMI2.EXE Adds DMI 2.0 / SNMP Instrumentation Layer to Windows
and Netware*.
100PWMI.EXE Adds Quality of Service (QoS) and adapter WMI Providers.
PRTPKT2.EXE Adds Priority Packet II; a utility for
Windows that provides IEEE 802.1p and IP ToS (Type of
Service) Layer 3 Tagging.
100PBOOT.EXE Latest images and reference material for the Intel(R) Boot
Agent.
100PCSI.EXE Common Software Installer; allows you to install all of the
components from a single Install interface.
To recreate the 4.1.1 CD structure, 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-SNMP
\DOS
\Info
\makedisk
\nwserver
\OS2
\PRTPKT
\PUSH
\Setup
\Unattendedupdate
\WBEM
\WIN95
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. Since the files are identical, you can choose "Yes" or "No"
with equal results.
To install these components in Windows, follow the installation instructions
included with the download.
Alternately, you can download the Common Software Installation (CSI) program
in the archive 100PCSI and run SETUP.EXE from the resulting SETUP directory.
Using the Common Software Installation program, select the components you
want to install. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.
Attempting to use the CSI to install components that you have not downloaded
and extracted as detailed above will result in "missing file" error messages.
A driver for Linux is available on support.intel.com.
Unix drivers are not included with this download. Please contact your Unix
vendor for the latest drivers.
5) Viewing the user guide
-------------------------
The user guide is in HTML format. To view it, use any standard browser to
open the file \INFO\INDEX.HTM.
6) Errata and known issues
--------------------------
WINDOWS 9x:
Some Windows 98 users may experience a shutdown problem with the release 4.x
drivers. Intel is aware of this issue and is working with Microsoft to
correct the problem. In the meantime, if you experience this problem, you can
download the older 3.8.1 driver set in the archive 100PW9X.EXE.
The "Update Boot Agent" tab in PROSet II does not work in Windows 98 or
Windows Me. This will be fixed in the next release. To update your Intel
Boot Agent to the latest version, boot the computer to DOS and use the FBOOT
utility. FBOOT is available in the downloadable archive 100PBOOT.EXE.
PROSET:
The current PROSet II LED graphic for 10 MB is gray. Please use the link
light to verify connection and the speed text for speed readout regardless of
color. The speed will occasionally read incorrectly if changed while PROSet
is open. Closing and re-opening PROSet II should then show the correct speed.
TEAMING:
Only AFT mode may use adapters of different design speeds (gigabit vs.
10/100). You may match 10 and 100, which will default to 10.
NETWARE*:
Novell documentation references both an e100b (Assembly Specification) and a
ce100b (C Specification) driver but the e100b driver references are for
historic purposes only. Assembly Specification drivers no longer provided.
VLANs:
The instructions for uninstalling teams and VLANs in Windows 2000 is
incorrect. To uninstall a team or a VLAN, open PROSet and right click on the
team or VLAN to be uninstalled, then choose Remove.
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.
PROSet may show team member adapters with a status of disabled when VLANs are
installed on a team. This is incorrect since the adapters are not disabled.
This is an error in the program and will be fixed in a future release.
Priority Packet II:
The manual incorrectly states that the instructions for Priority Packet do
not apply to Windows 2000. The Priority Packet instructions should be used
for both Windows NT and Windows 2000.
