• BX2.COM: Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet 16-bit driver
• BNX2EV.COM: Broadcom NetXtreme II 10 Gigabit Ethernet 16-bit driver
PREINSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
A network device driver must be installed before the Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet adapter can be used with your
Novell NetWare system.
Before you can successfully install the adapter driver for Novell NetWare, the adapter card must be physically installed in
the system and, typically, NetWare operating system software must already be running on the system. Make sure that your
system meets the hardware and operating system software requirements described in Installing the Hardware.
To enable the Broadcom NetXtreme II adapter to function correctly, you must install the latest Novell NetWare support pack
files. The NetWare support pack or patch file(s) needed for the operating system running on your server are indicated below:
