         must be V2.11 or higher.

Driver Installation From The Command Line Prompt
------------------------------------------------

Follow the steps listed below:

1       Insert the NE100TX-E PCI Fast Ethernet Card's driver diskette into the floppy
        drive.

2       Create a subdirectory in your client's main boot drive with the
        following  files:

        LSL.COM       Link Support Layer
        NE100TX.COM   PCI Fast Ethernet Card's NetWare DOS ODI Client driver
        IPXODI.COM    An IPX protocol stack file (e.g., IPXODI.COM)
        NETX.EXE      NetWare Shell (used with conventional memory workstations)
        NET.CFG       Optional (used for configuring options different from the
                      default settings). See  Novell NetWare Operating System
                      Keywords section.

        The (NETX.EXE), (LSL.COM), and (IPXODI.COM) files can be obtained
        from the Workstation Driver Diskette in the Novell Client Software
        Package  or from CompuServe. Copy the MAC-layer driver file NE100TX.COM
        from the DOSODI directory of the PCI Fast Ethernet Card's driver diskette to
        the appropriate subdirectory. To do this, copy the file using the path:

                A:\DOSODI

3       To manually load these files from the DOS prompt, type the following
        commands in  the given order to initialize DOS ODI driver support and
        the IPX protocol stack:

                LSL.COM                 Followed by <Enter>
                NE100TX.COM             Followed by <Enter>
                IPXODI.COM              Followed by <Enter>
                NETX.EXE                Followed by <Enter>

        Note:
        -----
        NETX.EXE is compatible with DOS versions 3.x, 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x.
        If you are use DOS 6.2 or higher,please install Netware DOS
        requester (VLM).

4       To automatically load these files, use a DOS text editor to create
        and/or modify an (AUTOEXEC.BAT) file. Load the files in the following
        order:

        1) link support layer, 2) LAN driver, 3) protocol stacks, and 4) the
        shell. Your (AUTOEXEC.BAT) file should look similar to the following:

                \<sub-directory>\LSL
                \<sub-directory>\NE100TX
                \<sub-directory>\IPXODI
                \<sub-directory>\NETX

5       If the commands have been added to the autoexec.bat file, reboot the
        workstation. After the commands execute, and if a server is present,
        the  workstation will attach to the server and display the server's
        name. Log into the network.

        The installation of the NetWare DOS ODI client driver is now completed.
