1) 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. The other advanced features must still be
installed as detailed above.

2) Compatibility
----------------

PRO/100B and PRO/10+ PCI adapters, or any other network interface based on
the obsolete Intel(R)82557 chip, may not function properly with the
drivers in this archive. Intel is aware of this problem, and is working to
resolve it in a future release. For now, users of the 82557 based adapters
should download the archive 100BDISK.EXE and use those drivers instead.

This web release version does not support or include Intel(R) Packet Protect.
For Packet Protect, you must install the drivers that are included with
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. Please
see the instructions included with that download.

The Microsoft Windows 2000* IPSec product is fully supported.

If you are using a third party Boot ROM solution on your Intel adapters, see
the note in Errata and Known Issues at the end of this document.

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, tools and reference material for the 
		Intel(R) Boot Agent.

PPROTECT.EXE	Adds IPSec security to Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98 and Windows
		Me. See the special instructions accompanying that download.


Linux base drivers and SNMP instrumentation for Intel server and client
adapters, and the Linux teaming services drivers for the server adapters, are
available on support.intel.com.

The UnixWare 7.x Advanced Networking Services driver and the supporting base
driver are available from support.intel.com for Server adapters. For other
Unix related drivers, please contact your Unix vendor

To recreate the release 5.0 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
	\Linux
	\makedisk
	\Manuals
	\Modem	
	\NMS
	\nwserver
	\OS2
	\PktPt
	\PROSet2
	\PRTPKT
	\PushInstall
	\Setup
	\Update
	\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, run SETUP from the root directory of
this download.

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
--------------------------

GENERAL

NOTE: Third pary boot ROM solution providers may distribute their product on
flash chips that are not supported by Intel adapters. If you are using a
third party solution that involves installing a proprietary flash chip onto
an Intel network adapter, please contact Intel Customer Support before
installing that product or, if already installed, before installing the
drivers from this archive.

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.

WINDOWS NT:

Due to space limitations, the MAKEDISK utility in this download does not
copy the modem detection utility to the Windows NT diskette. Should you need
to install an Intel(R) PRO/100 Mobile Cardbus II LAN adapter and 56K modem
and wish to install the modem driver after installing the LAN adapter, first
create a directory on the hard drive on the target computer and copy the 
contents of the diskette into that directory. Then manually copy the file
\MAKEDISK\NT4\CBMODEM.SY_ from this archive into the same directory. Then
install the adapter in NT using the contents of that directory instead of the
diskette.

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.
