Description:

  1. W940OD.LAN is a Novell 4.x Server Driver and defaults to the 802.2 frame
     type.

  2. If there is only one 940 card, the driver will automatically read IOBASE
     and IRQ from PCI Configuration Space.

  3. If there is more than 940 card, user must input a specified SLOT.

     If user does not input a SLOT to select a specified 940 card, this driver
     will automatically select a 940 card to load.

Installation:

  1. Copy W940OD.LAN into subdirectory - SYSTEM of your Netware server.
     If your system is Netware OS 3.x, you must copy MSM31X.NLM and
     ETHERTSM.NLM into the same subdirectory.

  2. At Netware server prompt, type:
        :load w940od

  3. Bind IPX to the Winbond W940OD LAN driver. At Netware server prompt, type:
        :bind ipx to w940od <enter>

  4. After pressing <enter>, the computer prompts you for the Network number.
