Preparing to Install or Upgrade the NetWare Client Software

Using a Third-Party ODI LAN Driver

 

Using a Third-Party ODI LAN Driver

 

The NetWare Client installation software includes drivers for most network

 

boards. If an Open Data-Link Interface™ (ODI) LAN driver is not included

 

for your network board, check the network board packaging for a diskette

 

with a copy of the correct driver. Or contact the network board manufacturer

 

to obtain a driver compatible with NetWare.

 

You will need a third-party ODI™ LAN driver for the network board

 

installed in your client workstation if an MLID™ file is not provided with

 

the NetWare Client installation software.

 

 

NOTE:

If you want to update the LAN driver list to include the third-party driver, you should

 

copy any LAN drivers not currently available from Novell to the NetWare Client for

 

DOS and MS Windows ODI LAN Drivers diskette. Copy both the .COM and .INS

 

files for each driver.
