II.Intel® 82550 Network Driver Installation

A. Preparing Intel 82550 LAN Driver Diskette

Use a floppy disk to install the onboard Intel 82550 network adapter drivers with the MAKEDISK.BAT utility located in the \Drivers\LAN\MAKEDISK directory in ASUS Support CD.

MAKEDISK [operating system] [destination]

where [operating system] is the OS for which you are creating the diskette, and [destination] is the drive letter and path (such as A:). If no destination is specified, the A: drive will be used. The possible [operating system] options are:

NT = Microsoft Windows NT

W2K = Microsoft Windows* 2000

NW = Novell NetWare servers and clients

Make sure you have a 1.44 MB formatted, non-bootable diskette in the floppy drive when using this utility. Alternately, you can use the MAKEW2K.BAT files (located in the \Drivers\LAN\MAKEDISK directory on this CD) to simplify this process:
