  BEFORE YOU BEGIN
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  If your computer does NOT have a plug-and-play motherboard, 
  the following notes apply to you:

  1.  Before attempting to install the Ether16 LAN Card's network
      software drivers, you MUST configure the card's internal
      settings with the SETUP program included on Ether16 disk 1
      under the UTILITY directory.  Use the program to set the
      card's interrupt (IRQ) and I/O settings.  For directions
      on using SETUP, see your Ether16 user guide.
  
  2.  Most network software packages like Windows 95, Windows NT,
      Novell NetWare, etc., include a "generic" network driver
      that will work with a wide range of network cards.  This
      generic driver is called a "Novell NE2000" compatible driver,
      and it is fully supported by the Ether16 card.  If your 
      network software package asks you to choose the name of
      the network card you're installing from a list of available
      adapters, and you find "NE2000" or "Novell NE2000" listed,
      you don't need to follow the directions below---simply choose
      to install the NE2000 driver and the Ether16 Card will be
      ready for use.  THE ETHER16 IS ONLY NE2000 COMPATIBLE
      WHEN THE CARD'S PLUG-AND-PLAY MODE IS TURNED OFF.  If 
      your PC has a plug-and-play motherboard, and you wish to 
      use the generic NE2000 driver, you must run the Ether16 
      SETUP program and turn the card's plug-and-play mode off.


  Setup
  ------------------------------------------------------------------
    

    Installing the NDIS driver for IBM LAN SERVER 4.0
    
     In the OS/2 Desktop group, double-click on the MPTS icon.
     Click on the <Configure> button.
     Select the "LAN adapters and protocols" option.
     Click on the <Configure> button.
     Select the "Other adapters ..." option.
     Insert the Ether16 disk in Drive A or B and type the driver path:

        a:\ndis\os2

     Click on the <OK> button.
     Select "Linksys Ether16 Ethernet Adapter", and then click on
      the Add button.
     Select "IBM OS/2 NETBIOS", and then click on the Add button.
     Select "IBM IEEE 802.2", and then click on the Add button.
     Click OK.
     Click Close.
     Click Exit.
     Reboot your system.

    
    Installing the NDIS driver for IBM LAN SERVER 3.0
    
     Install IBM OS/2 into your system, if not yet installed.
     Insert the NTS/2 Adapter & Protocol Support Disk in Drive A.
     Execute the LAPs program.
     Select "Install", and then specify the target drive.
     Select "Install" again and insert the Ether16 disk 1 in Drive A.

        a:\ndis\os2

     Select "Configure".
     Select "Linksys Ether16 Ethernet Adapter", and then click on the Add
      button.
     Select "IBM OS/2 NETBIOS", and then click on the Add button.
     Select "IEEE 802.2", and then click on the Add button.
     Click OK.
     Click Exit.
     Click Continue.
     Reboot your system.
     Your CONFIG.SYS and PROTOCOL.INI files should reflect your card setup:

        \CONFIG.SYS
        ===========
          :
        Device=d:\IBMCOM\MACS\ETHER.OS2
          :

        \IBMCOM\PROTOCOL.INI
        ====================
          :
        [ETHERI_NIF]
        Drivername = ETHER$

     Install the LAN Server or Requester program.  For information,
      please refer to your IBM LAN Server "Planning and Installation" manual.

    
    Installing the NDIS driver for IBM LAN SERVER 2.0
    
     Assuming that OS/2 2.0 is correctly installed and working properly,
      install the LAN SERVER. At this point, no network adapters must be
      installed in the computer.

     Install LAN SERVER according to the IBM installation procedure.  When
      prompted for the adapter, select any of the adapters LAN SERVER
      supports. For example, "Western Digital EtherCard PLUS ...". Then,
      continue with the LAN SERVER installation.

     After successfully installing LAN SERVER, shut down OS/2 for system
      configuration. Do not install any network adapters yet.  The OS/2
      system will boot up and bring up the LAN SERVER services. The system
      will then  display error messages since the network adapter you
      selected is not installed. Ignore these messages and continue with
      the OS/2 booting procedure.

     Insert the Ether16 disk 1 in Drive A and copy the following files
      from the NDIS\DOS directory of the disk to your hard drive:

        COPY  ETHER.OS2 to C:\IBMCOM\MACS
        COPY  ETHERI.NIF to C:\IBMCOM\MACS\ETHERI.NIF


     In the OS/2 Desktop group, run the OS/2 system editor.  You need
      to modify the following files:

        C:\CONFIG.SYS
        C:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL.INI


      CONFIG.SYS Modifications:

        DEVICE=C:\IBMCOM\MACS\MACWD.OS2

        to

        DEVICE=C:\IBMCOM\MACS\ETHER.OS2


      PROTOCOL.INI Modifications:

        - Under the [IBMLXCFG] section, add the following line:

                ETHERI_nif = ETHERi.nif

        - Under the [NETBEUI_nif] section, change the following line:

                Bindings = MACWDMC_nif

                to

                Bindings = ETHERI_nif

        - Under the MAC SECTION definitions, add the following section:

                [ETHERI_nif]
                DriverName = ETHER$

     After modifying the two files above, shut down OS/2, and turn the
      computer off.

     Install the Ether16 Ethernet adapter.

     Turn on the system to start OS/2.

     After starting OS/2, LAN SERVER services can now successfully start
      without causing any errors.

    
    Installing the NDIS driver for IBM Communication Manager 1.0
    ============================================================

     Install IBM Communication Manager
    
     Copy the ETHER.OS2 and ETHERI.NIF files from the NDIS\OS2  
      directory of the Ether16 disk 1 to 
      the C:\IBMCOM\MACS directory of your hard disk
    
     Select the Ether16 Ethernet adapter
    
     Choose the appropriate protocols
    
     Check that the CONFIG.SYS file includes the following line:

        DEVICE = C:\IBMCOM\MACS\ETHER.OS2

     Shut down your OS/2 system, and then reboot your PC.  The setup
      is complete.
