## Installing the Driver

The Intel PRO/100 adapter driver for Novell NetWare* 4.11 through 6 is packaged in the ce100b.lan file. To install the ce100b.lan package and setup the driver for a network adapter, use the following steps. Before installing, review the Support Pack requirements in the System Requirements section of this guide.

| NOTE: Prior to installing, either load DOS or NetWare drivers for your server's CD-ROM drive or create a floppy disk from the Intel CD on a different computer. Go to the Making a Floppy Disk section of this guide.

1. From the NetWare console, type NWCONFIG or Load Install and press <Enter>.

2. From the Configuration Options screen, choose Driver options and press <Enter>.

3. Choose Configure network drivers and press <Enter>. If any drivers are already loaded, a list of them appears.

4. Select an additional driver and press <Enter>. A list of drivers appears.

5. Insert the Intel CD or floppy disk you've created and choose Install an unlisted driver by pressing <Insert>.

   | NOTE: To mount a CD, use cdrom.

6. If you're using a floppy disk, insert the disk in drive A and press <Enter>. If you've mounted the CD as a NetWare volume, press <F3> and enter the source path (PRO1001000:/pro100/nwserver/).

7. The driver name is displayed: Intel(R) 8255x PCI adapter. Press <Enter> to select it.

8. A prompt appears asking if you want to copy the driver. Select Yes and press <Enter>.

9. The next screen asks for parameters for loading the driver. To modify any driver parameters or protocols, highlight Select/Modify driver parameters and protocols and press <Enter>. If you have multiple adapters, enter the slot number for the adapter you are currently configuring. When finished configuring the driver, select Save parameters and load driver to continue.

   | NOTES: If your system contains a single network adapter, you may enter any number for the slot. The driver will automatically detect the correct slot number and load successfully.
   | If your system contains more than one network adapter, you can find the valid slot numbers for your adapters by pressing <Alt>-<Esc> to switch to the console screen in NetWare. Type LOAD CE100B and press <Enter>. The driver will attempt to load and prompt you with the available slot numbers. Note the slot numbers, and press <Esc> to abort the driver load. Use <Alt>-<Esc> to switch back to the Install screen and enter the correct slot number.

10. To complete the driver installation process, go back to the Configuration Options screen by pressing <Esc> until you see the Configuration Options screen.

11. Choose Exit to return to the server console prompt.

| NOTES: If the adapter cannot transmit or receive after installation, you may need to modify the frame type or LOAD and BIND statements in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
| If you are installing multiple adapters, repeat the driver installation process for each adapter in the server.
| Some switches can take several seconds to auto-negotiate and establish a link with the adapter. This may result in a false "could not establish link" error message. Use the monitor or check the adapter lights to determine valid connection information.

## Configuring Speed and Duplex

### Setting Full Duplex in DOS, ODI, NDIS 2.01 Servers

For each adapter, edit the NET.CFG or PROTOCOL.INI file. If editing the NET.CFG file, add the following keywords to the Link Driver section. For the PROTOCOL.INI file, add these keywords anywhere:

> FORCEDUPLEX 2
> SPEED 100 (or 10 if 10BASE-T)

### Setting Full Duplex in NetWare Servers

For each adapter in AUTOEXEC.NCF, edit the LOAD command and add the following options (you must include the equal sign for servers):

> FORCEDUPLEX=2
> SPEED=100 (or 10 if 10BASE-T)

### Setting Speed

If you manually set (force) speed to 10 or 100, you must force both speed and duplex, and auto-negotiation must be disabled. (Also be sure that the link partner settings match these settings.) The Autoneg parameter is ignored.

### Using Autoneg

Use the Autoneg parameter when more control is required. When this parameter is used, the Speed and Forceduplex parameters must not be specified. This parameter is a bitmap, based on the following table, that specifies which speed and duplex settings the adapter advertises to a link partner.

Setting | N/A | 100 Full | 100 Half | 10 Full | 10 Half
Value | 16 | 8 | 4 | 2 | 1

This parameter is the sum of the values of each setting to advertise. For example, to advertise 100-Full and 100-Half modes, the parameter would be set to 8 + 4 = 12.

| CAUTION: When the Speed and Forceduplex keywords are used, auto-negotiation is disabled. To ensure that link is established correctly, auto-negotiation must be disabled on the link partner, and the link should be forced to the same speed and duplex mode used on the adapter.

## Wake on PME

The Intel driver includes the Wake on PME assertion feature for NetWare 5.1 and 6 systems. This feature allows users to select a single adapter in a system and configure that adapter to wake a system from an off state.

| NOTE: Wake on PME is enable by default. To disable Wake on PME, enter the option pmedisable=0 on the command line.

## Installing Multiple Adapters

The server drivers use the PCI slot number to identify each installed adapter. You can correlate the PCI slot number to the port by using the Ethernet address that is printed on a label on the adapter.

If you are installing a driver in a computer with existing Intel adapters, the adapters are updated automatically.
