This installation guide describes:

o  How to use EZStart to copy SMC's NetWare OS/2 ODI workstation 
   driver from the SMC SuperDisk to your PC.

o  How to install the driver using Novell's OS/2 requester 
   INSTALL program.

o  How to install multiple adapters.

o  Error messages.


COPYING THE DRIVER FILES

From the EZStart Network Drivers and Documentation Selection
screen, select 'Novell NetWare OS/2 ODI Driver'. Then, when 
the Network Drivers and Documentation screen appears, select 
'Copy Files' to copy all the files used by this driver from 
the SuperDisk to the Destination Directory recommended by 
EZStart, or to a different directory that you specify.


LOADING THE DRIVER

Use the following instructions with those in Novell's NetWare 
Requester for OS/2 manual:

1. Load the NetWare Requester INSTALL program according to the 
   instructions in the NetWare manual.

2. Select "Requester on workstation" from the menu.

3. Specify the source and target directories.

4. Select "Edit CONFIG.SYS and Copy Files".

5. Select "SMC9232.SYS" from the list. If the SMC driver is not in
   the list, type: SMC9232.SYS

6. When prompted as to whether this is a third-party NIC driver,
   select "Yes".

7. Select or deselect any remaining options, then select "Save". 
   In the "Save File As:" field, type: CONFIG.SYS

8.  In the Copy Requester Files window, select "Copy".
  
9.  Proceed with the instructions in the NetWare Workstation for 
    OS/2 manual until you complete the installation.


INSTALLING MULTIPLE ADAPTERS

If two adapters are installed in the same workstation, modify the 
NET.CFG file in the \NETWARE subdirectory on your PC. To modify the 
file, use any text editor to open the file and add the following 
lines:
  
     LINK DRIVER SMC9232
       SLOT X

     LINK DRIVER SMC9232
       SLOT X

In the above lines, X is the EISA slot number of the adapter, in 
hexadecimal. The first adapter should be the one with the lowest 
slot number.

After you modify the file, copy it to the \NETWARE subdirectory or to
the directory where the SMC9232.SYS OS/2 ODI driver resides. 


ERROR MESSAGES

   "Adapter hardware failure detected (initialization)"
    The adapter did not pass the initialization process.
    Check the adapter for configuration conflicts.  

   "Adapter hardware failure detected (self-test)"
    The adapter did not pass the initialization self-test process 
    due to a hardware problem. Check the adapter for configuration 
    conflicts.

   "Adapter IRQ higher than 7 not valid in 8-bit slot"
    The I/O base address specified cannot be used if the adapter
    is inserted into an 8-bit slot. Select a different IRQ number.

   "No Ethernet Adapters Found"
    The driver could not detect an adapter installed in the system.
    Check the adapter is inserted properly into the slot connector.

   "Invalid Ethernet node address specified"
    The node address specified in the NET.CFG file was illegal.
    Broadcast and multicast addresses are not allowed as valid
    node addresses. Use the node address override with caution,
    as this can cause problems on your network.

   "One or more NET.CFG parameters are missing or invalid"
    A driver parameter required to load the driver is missing from
    the NET.CFG file. Add the parameter(s) and reload the driver.

   "I/O address in NET.CFG is on illegal boundary"
    The specified PORT address in the NET.CFG file is not correct.
    Verify the adapter I/O address from the soft-configuration or 
    jumper setting, and make the necessary changes to the NET.CFG 
    file.

   "I/O address in NET.CFG is out of range"
    The I/O base address specified in the NET.CFG file for the
    AT-bus adapter is out of range of supported values. Verify
    the adapter I/O address from the soft-configuration or jumper
    setting, and make the necessary changes to the NET.CFG file.

   "IRQ in NET.CFG does not match adapter configuration"
    The IRQ number specified in the NET.CFG file for the
    AT-bus adapter does not match the detected configuration.
    Verify the adapter IRQ setting from the soft-configuration or 
    jumper setting, and make the necessary changes to the NET.CFG 
    file.

   "IRQ specified in NET.CFG is out of range"
    The IRQ number specified in the NET.CFG file for the AT-bus
    adapter is out of range of supported values. Verify the adapter 
    IRQ setting from the soft-configuration or jumper setting, and 
    make the necessary changes to the NET.CFG file.

   "RAM address in NET.CFG is on illegal boundary"
    The specified MEM address in the NET.CFG file is not correct.
    Verify the adapter RAM memory address from the soft-configuration
    or jumper setting, and make the necessary changes to the NET.CFG 
    file.

   "RAM address in NET.CFG is out of range"
    The RAM address specified in the NET.CFG file for the AT-bus
    adapter is out of range of supported values. Verify the adapter 
    RAM memory address from the soft-configuration or jumper setting, 
    and make the necessary changes to the NET.CFG file.

   "RAM size specified in NET.CFG is out of range"
    The RAM size specified in the NET.CFG file for the AT-bus 
    adapter is out of range of supported values. Verify the adapter
    RAM memory address from the soft-configuration or jumper 
    setting, and make the necessary changes to the NET.CFG file.

   "RAM size in NET.CFG does not match adapter config"
    The MEM length parameter in the NET.CFG file was invalid. 
    Check the adapter configuration, and make the necessary changes 
    to the NET.CFG file.

   "Cannot access adapter RAM properly"
    The adapter could read or write the adapter RAM. Verify that
    another adapter does not share the same memory space as the 
    LAN adapter.
