Workstation for OS/2 Requester Client v3.03 NetWare OS/2* ODI Client Driver Installation Notes for Intel's EtherExpress(TM) PRO/10 ISA LAN Adapter ============================================================== Location of Driver: \OS2\EPROODI.SYS Sample Configuration Files -------------------------- CONFIG.SYS (will contain) DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\EPROODI.SYS NET.CFG LINK DRIVER EPROODI PORT 300 FRAME ETHERNET_802.3 FRAME ETHERNET_802.2 General Installation -------------------- NOTE: If you are running IBM OS/2* 2.0 or OS/2 2.1, you will need to have the OS/2 Requester version 2.01 or later (available from Novell). If you have a Plug and Play BIOS, make sure you DISABLE Plug and Play on your adapter using SoftSet2 (Change Adapter Configuration, Advanced Options menu). OS/2 doesn't support Plug and Play. It doesn't support a Configuration Manager. As a result, OS/2 may not be able to find your adapter if Plug and Play is enabled. 1 Run Novell's INSTALL utility on the OS/2 Requester disk and follow Novell's instructions. When asked to enter the name of the network interface driver, enter EPROODI.SYS. 2 Choose the session support you need. This is based on your configuration. See the NetWare* Requester manual if you need help. 3 Save the configuration. 4 When asked to enter the path and filename for the driver, insert the driver disk in drive A and enter A:\OS2\EPROODI.SYS. 5 When the installation section is complete, select "Configuration" from INSTALL's main menu, then select "This Workstation". This will allow you to modify the NET.CFG file. NOTE: The default frame type for EPROODI.SYS is 802.2. If you are using the 802.3 frame type, you have to include a frame statement in the NET.CFG file. See the NET.CFG example above. Hints and Tips -------------- 1 Verify Driver Loaded Properly In the Config.sys file, put a "fake" device=xxx statement following the EPROODI.SYS line. The screen will stop and you can check for error messages. 2 Error message "not getting a connection ID" This OS/2 error usually results from a frame type mismatch. Ensure the NetWare* server (type CONFIG at console) and this workstation (review NET.CFG file) are loading the same frame types. 3 NET.CFG Options All NET.CFG options (except LINK DRIVER EPROODI) are optional for single adapter installations. PORT - This is the base I/O address of the adapter. If the port option is not present, it will try to load at I/O 300. If the board is not at 300, it will return with an error message stating board not found. INT - The system IRQ for the adapter to use. This option is only used as a reminder which IRQ the board is set for. It does not cause the driver to override the EEPROM contents. NODE ADDRESS - This parameter allows the driver to override the Ethernet address in the EEprom. This is Novell's node address override feature. To comply with Novell's multicast specification, the second digit of the overriding address should be a 2, 6, A or E.
