Adapter support on NetWare
A network device driver must be installed before the 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 server and, typically, NetWare OS software must already
be running on the server. Make sure that your server meets the hardware and operating system software
requirements.
For an adapter installation with an existing NetWare server, NetWare will automatically detect the new
adapter and attempt to load the appropriate driver.
To enable the Gigabit Ethernet adapter to function correctly, you need to install the latest support pack
files. The latest support pack can be found at the Novell website (http://www.novell.com
).
Netware install program
A commonly used method to install a driver on a NetWare server is through NWCONFIG. The following
drivers are supported.
