Section Three
The Trumpcard DLPI driver requires that the Trumpcard PC Card be inserted prior to the driver being loaded. If no Trumpcard is found the driver will not be loaded and networking functions will NOT be available. When the driver has successfully loaded, unpredictable results will occur if the Trumpcard is now removed from the PCMCIA slot. The Trumpcard DLPI Driver DOES NOT support hot insertion and removal.
To install the Trumpcard DLPI driver, you need to create an Ositech DLPI Driver Disk using the INSTALL shell script from the DOS formatted Network Drivers distribution diskette provided with the PC Card. The first step is to copy the INSTALL shell script to the Unixware /tmp directory from the distribution diskette \UNIX\UW directory.
The installation process performed by the INSTALL shell script consists of two basic steps:
1)Creating the Ositech DLPI Driver Disk from the compressed disk image extracted from the osi_uw.tar archive.
2)Second, installing the driver from the Ositech DLPI Driver Disk using the pkgadd utility.

| In order to successfully complete the installation process the following is |
| required: |
•One blank 3.5 inch high density (1.44MB) diskette labelled “Ositech Trumpcard DLPI Driver Disk”.
•IO ports and IRQs that you wish to assign to the LAN function. The LAN will need 32 ports (default of
•A 4K memory window that you can assign to the driver in the range of 0xc0000 and 0xf0000. The default is 0xc8000.
•Ability to use pkgadd to install and configure the Network software.
•2MB of free disk space for the various temporary files that are
created during the install process on the file system

To create the Ositech Trumpcard DLPI Driver install diskette, and to install the driver, you need only execute the INSTALL shell script that you have copied to the /tmp directory. You can only execute the INSTALL script after you have become the root user.
Note: | It is highly recommended that you run the shell script as root, |
| because the installation process will require that you relink the kernel. |
