Network Adapter Card Drivers

3. Choose the appropriate driver from the menu choices.

Following the instructions on the screen, copy the driver to

a standard directory (for example LAN Manager

customarily uses

C:\LANMAN\DRIVERS\ETHERNET

for a

server).

The CardAssistant program will create the directory if it

does not already exist. Exit the CardAssistant program.

4. Invoke the LAN utility for installing the network software.

5. Check settings of configuration options and make sure they

match the card configuration (in Chapter 5, “Installation”).

6. Copy network configuration files to the standard directory,

and modify batch files (e.g.,

AUTOEXEC.BAT

and

CONFIG.SYS

) to point to the network configuration files

during reboot.

7. Complete the installation of the network software.

Updating a Novell IPX Workstation to ODI

Individual Novell IPX workstations on NetWare systems are

frequently converted to Novell Open Data-Link Interface (ODI)

workstations running on the same system. This conversion is

typically made because Novell no longer supports the IPX

specification, and has replaced it with the ODI specification.

Therefore, changing or updating network adapter hardware or

software on an IPX workstation will probably involve changing

the driver type from IPX to ODI.

The IPX-ODI change in no way impairs the

workstation’s ability to function with your original

NetWare software on the original, unchanged

network.
