Chapter 3 Installing the Software
ODI Driver Installation
Note Options -c, -i, -n, and -w are unused in this version of the driver and are provided for backward syntax
compatibility.
Note <int_number> is an interrupt vector location in the range 0x60 to 0x7F.
Note To unload the driver, enter CSCPKT –u <int_number> (for example, CSCPKT –u 0x65). The
<int_number> value must be the same value used when you installed the driver.
Step 6 Load the MS-DOS IP stack.
ODI Driver Installation
The PC Card can be installed in an ODI compliant MS-DOS environment such as Novell NetWare.
Follow these steps to install the driver.
Step 1 Power on your computer.
Step 2 Extract the CSCODI.COM files to the directory containing the network files on your computer’s hard
drive.
Step 3 Copy the NET.CFG file, or merge the Cisco Aironet supplied NET.CFG file into your existing NET.CFG
file in the network directory.
Step 4 Modify the adapter’s system parameters by editing the NET.CFG file. The following parameters can be
modified (INFRASTRUCTURE mode only):
• INFRASTRUCTURE = YES (If omitted, default is YES)
• SSID = <your SSID>
Step 5 Run the batch files created by the NetWare installation disks, or manually load the driver from
AUTOEXEC.BAT or the command line. This can be done by running LSL, followed by CSCODI,
IPXODI, and NETX or VLM.
Additional Requirements and Features
The following INI and CFG file lines might appear anywhere within a section. Only the sections
containing these lines will be parsed:
• CSCPKT.INI file can have a section header of [CSCPKT].
• PROTOCOL.INI file can have any section header, but the section must contain the keyword and
parameter DRIVERNAME = CSCNDIS2.
• NET.CFG file must have a section header of Link Driver CSCODI.
