If you are running NetWare 2.x, 3.1x, or 4.x, you can use 3Com’s AutoLinkauto installation feature, which automatically loads all the NetWare DOS ODI client software, including drivers. Follow the instructions in the section “Loading NetWare ODI Drivers.”

If you are running Windows 95, you must import the driver from the EtherDisk diskette. Follow the instructions in the section “Loading Windows 95 Drivers” later in this chapter.
