Installing and Configuring the NetWare Server Driver
This section describes how to install the NetWare driver on
a Novell server running NetWare 3.12, 4.11, or 5.0. The
\NWSERVER directory contains the network driver file
(3C99X.LAN) to be used for servers running NetWare 3.12,
4.11, or 5.0. Additional files (NetWare Loadable Modules
[NLMs]) that are required for servers running NetWare are
on the EtherCD in the \NWSERVER directory, or they can
be obtained from Novell.
Using the Latest Support Packs
The 3CR990 NIC does not support NetWare 3.11 or
4.0x servers. The 3CR990 NIC does not support
NetWare 3.12 or 4.11 servers that are not updated to the
latest Novell Support Pack. NetWare 3.12 does not support
3CR990 NIC load balancing/failover or TCP/IP checksum
offload/hardware checksumming.
Use the following support packs to achieve best results
with the network driver.
CAUTION: If you plan to form load balancing/failover
groups using NetWare 4.11 or 5.0, do not enable TCP/IP
checksum offload for the 3CR990 NIC driver.
