This section contains the procedure for installing a network adapter driver
on a system running Novell NetWare 6.5.
The .LDI file and the .LAN file for your adapter must be present to
successfully complete installation.
You can perform the procedure using the Allied Telesyn Installation CD or,
for those systems without a CD drive, a driver installation diskette. For
instructions on how to create a driver installation diskette, refer to
"Creating a Driver Installation Disk" on page 68. The network adapter
driver is stored in the \drivers\netware subdirectory on the Allied
Telesyn Installation CD and in the \netware subdirectory on a driver
installation diskette.
The NetWare utility NWCONFIG provides the user with the ability to add
additional network adapter cards. At the system console, type NWCONFIG.
1. Select Driver Options and then Configure Network Driver.
2. Select Additional Driver.
The NWCONFIG displays a list of the available drivers.
3. Press <Insert> to specify a driver not listed.
4. Insert the Allied Telesyn Installation CD or the driver installation disk
into the appropriate drive.
5. Press <F3> to change the default path and specify the drive and path
to the driver. The driver is stored in the \drivers\netware
subdirectory on the Allied Telesyn Installation CD and in the
\netware subdirectory on a driver installation diskette.
6. Press Return.
The adapter driver and other required files are copied to the SYS:
volume.
7. On the next menu, Protocols and Parameters, specify any necessary
parameters. A slot value is required when loading the adapter driver. If
the slot is unknown, the driver will correctly detect the slot value when
loading.
8. Select Save parameters and load driver.
9. Proceed with the installation as outlined in the Novell documentation.
