Generic Installation

If your NOS is not listed in the Intel Installation Program, you can try selecting “Generic NDIS Driver” or “Generic ODI Driver” in the Intel Installation Program and clicking the Install button. A sample configuration file containing parameters optimized for your system will be created in the \INTEL\M32A directory on your hard disk. For NDIS, this will be a custom PROTOCOL.INI file. For ODI, it will be a custom NET.CFG file. Use this sample file to assist you in configuring the actual configuration file for your system (or use the sample file itself if appropriate).
