   Workstation for OS/2 Requester Client

   NetWare OS/2 ODI Client Driver Installation Notes for Intel's 
   EtherExpress(TM) PRO/10 LAN Adapter
   =============================================================

   Location of Driver:     \OS2\EPROODI.SYS
  
   Sample Configuration Files
   --------------------------
      CONFIG.SYS (will contain)
	 DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\EPROODI.SYS


      NET.CFG
	 LINK DRIVER EPROODI
	      PORT xxx
	      FRAME ETHERNET_802.3
	      FRAME ETHERNET_802.2


   General Installation
   --------------------
      NOTE: If you are running IBM OS/2* 2.0 or OS/2 2.1, you will need to 
      have the OS/2 Requester version 2.01 or later (available from Novell).

      If you have a Plug and Play BIOS, make sure you DISABLE Plug and
      Play on your adapter using SoftSet2 (Advanced Options menu). 
      OS/2 doesn't support Plug and Play (it doesn't support a Configuration 
      Manager). As a result, OS/2 may not be able to find your adapter if 
      Plug and Play is enabled.
 
      1. Run Novell's INSTALL utility on the OS/2 requester disk and follow 
	 Novell's instructions. When asked to enter the name of the network 
	 interface driver enter: EPROODI.SYS.

      2. Choose the session support you need. This is based on your 
	 configuration. See the NetWare Requester manual if you need help.

      3. Save the configuration.

      4. When asked to enter the path and filename for the driver, insert 
	 the driver disk in drive A and enter: A:\OS2\EPROODI.SYS.

      5. When the installation section is complete, select "configuration" 
	 from INSTALL's main menu, then select "this workstation". This 
	 will allow you to modify the NET.CFG file.  

      NOTE: The default frame type for EPROODI.SYS is 802.2. If you are
      using the 802.3 frame type, you have to include a frame statement 
      in the NET.CFG file. See the NET.CFG example above. 

   Hints and Tips
   --------------

      1. Verify Driver Loaded Properly:
	 In the Config.sys file, put a "fake" device=xxx statement following 
	 the EPROODI.SYS line. The screen will stop and you can check for 
	 error messages.

      2. Error message "not getting a connection ID":
	 This OS/2 error usually results from a frame type mismatch. Ensure 
	 the NetWare server (type CONFIG at console) and this workstation 
	 (review NET.CFG file) are loading the same frame types.

      3. NET.CFG Options:
	 PORT - This is the base I/O address of the adapter. If the port 
	 option is not present, it will try to load at I/O 300. If the 
	 board is not at 300, it will return with an error message stating 
	 board not found. 

	 INT - The system IRQ for the adapter to use. This option is only 
	 used as a reminder which IRQ the board is set for. It does not 
	 cause the driver to override the eprom contents. The adapter 
	 supports IRQ's 2, 3, 5, 10, 11. 
	
	 NODE ADDRESS - This is the ethernet node address for the adapter.  
	 Syntax:
	      NODE ADDRESS 00AA00123456
	      where 00AA00123456 is the adapter's ethernet address.

	 This is optional. If it is not present, the driver will use the 
	 value in the eprom on the adapter. If it is present the driver 
	 will use this value even if it differs from the eprom contents.  
	 This is Novell's node address override feature. To comply with 
	 Novell's multicast specification, the second digit of the 
	 overriding address should be a 2, 6, A or E.
