ABSTRACT: The 32SPEC directory contains the latest Novell LAN drivers and support modules for the v3.20 ODI Assembly Specification. This is the latest ODI Assembly Specification that NetWare v3.11 and SFT III v3.11 will support. ----------------------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER THE ORIGIN OF THIS INFORMATION MAY BE INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL TO NOVELL. NOVELL MAKES EVERY EFFORT WITHIN ITS MEANS TO VERIFY THIS INFORMATION. HOWEVER, THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THIS DOCUMENT IS FOR YOUR INFORMATION ONLY. NOVELL MAKES NO EXPLICIT OR IMPLIED CLAIMS TO THE VALIDITY OF THIS INFORMATION. ----------------------------------------------------------------- ISSUE: The latest LAN Driver ODI Assembly Specification is 3.30. However, NetWare v3.11 and NetWare SFT III v3.11 do not support the new specification. The 32SPEC directory contains Novell drivers and support modules for the LAN Driver ODI Assembly Specification v3.20. The ODI Assembly Secification v3.20 is supported on NetWare v3.11 and NetWare SFT III v3.11. Also, most LAN drivers written to the LAN Driver ODI Assembly Specification v3.20 should work with the LAN Driver ODI Assembly Specification v3.30 support modules. However, you may experience problems with some LAN drivers written to the 3.20 specification running with support modules written to the 3.30 specification. In this case, the support modules in the 32SPEC directory structure may be used on NetWare 3.12 and NetWare 4.10.

This is because the v3.20 ODI Assembly Specification is the latest ODI Assembly Specification that NetWare v3.11 and SFT III v3.11 will support. The files in the 32SPEC directory structure can also be use on NetWare v3.12, and NetWare v4.10 (including SFT III v4.10). There is a new v3.30 ODI Assembly Specification that can be used on NetWare v3.12 and NetWare v4.10. However, if you are using a LAN driver that will not work with the v3.30 ODI Assembly Specification but still need to use that LAN driver on NetWare v3.12 or 4.10, you can use the support modules in the 32SPEC directory structure. Rename any LAN drivers and support modules that will be replaced by the files in the 32SPEC directory structure. Copy the new LAN drivers and support modules in the same area where the LAN driver files reside on the file server. NOTE: For 3.1x versions of NetWare use MSM31X.NLM and not MSM.NLM. For 4.10 versions of NetWare use MSM.NLM and not MSM31X.NLM. Configuration files (*.ADF and *.CFG) that are necessary to configure some of the hardware LAN adapters are contained in the CONFIG subdirectory. The following files are necessary for NetWare v3.11 when using the files in the 32SPEC directory structure: MONITOR.NLM v1.75 or higher. (Currently v1.76 is contained in MON176.EXE. If MONITOR.NLM that shipped with NetWare v3.11 is used the file server will ABEND when viewing LAN driver statistics.) LSLENH.NLM contained in the 32SPEC\31X\311 directory along with the patch manager PATHCHMAN.NLM. (This patch adds LSL enhancements to NetWare v3.11 and must be loaded prior to loading MSM31X.NLM. MSM31X.NLM will not load on NetWare v3.11 unless LSLENH.NLM is loaded first.) When using TOKENDMA.LAN on NetWare v3.11 the files contained in XLD386.EXE are necessary. See TOKENDMA.DOC for more details. The following files are necessary for NetWare SFT III v3.11 when using the files in the 32SPEC directory structure: LSLENH3.NLM contained in SFTPT1.EXE. (This patch adds LSL enhancements to NetWare SFT III v3.11 and must be loaded prior to loading the files in MSM31X.NLM. MSM31X.NLM will not load on NetWare SFT III v3.11 unless LSLENH3.NLM is loaded first.) When using NE2000.LAN on NetWare SFT III v3.11 IOSHIM.NLM (Also contained in SFTPT1.EXE) must be loaded prior to loading LSLENH3.NLM. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Any trademarks referenced in this document are the property of their respective owners.
