NOTE:

Even though older Card and Socket Services software for MS-DOS and Windows 3.X may not support CardBus, it may be possible to use another PC Card simulta- neously with the PRO/100 CardBus adapter. Please refer to the README.TXT file or the Intel website for the latest information and tips regarding Card and Socket Services.

The Installation Program will modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, and network configuration files to match the optimum configuration for your system.

For detailed technical information on configuration files and settings, see Chapter 3, Configuration Reference and Chapter 4, Troubleshooting.

Installing under IBM OS/2 (Warp 3.0 and 4.0) Using the NDIS or ODI Driver

NOTE

The PRO/100 CardBus adapter includes NDIS 2.0 and ODI drivers for OS/2. Cur- rently, the Card and Socket Services software in OS/2 does not support CardBus. Therefore, in order to install the CardBus driver in OS/2, OS/2’s Card and Socket Services must be disabled. Follow IBM’s instructions for disabling Card and Socket Services.

Installation Steps for Warp 3.0 and 4.0 (NDIS driver)

1Remove OS/2’s Card and Socket Services according to IBM’s instructions.

By default, the CardBus NDIS driver will be installed. If you wish to install the ODI client, the Novell Client installation program should be used. See the OS/2 ODI Client install section for instruc- tions.

2Run MPTS (Multi-Protocol Transport Services). For Warp 3.0, MPTS is on the desktop. For Warp 4.0, MPTS is in System Setup.

3In the MPTS window, click on Configure

4In the Configure window, select the LAN adapter and protocols radio button, then click on Configure.

5In the LAPS Configuration window, in the Network Adapter section, click on Other Adapter.
