Sample Configuration Files
CONFIG.SYS (will contain)

PORT 300
FRAME ETHERNET_802.3
FRAME ETHERNET_802.2
General Installation
Note: If you are running IBM OS/2* 2.0 or OS/2 2.1, you will need to
have the OS/2 Requester version 2.01 or later (available from Novell*).
If you have a Plug and Play (PnP) BIOS, make sure you DISABLE Plug and
Play on your adapter using SoftSet2 (Change Adapter Configuration,
Advanced Options menu). OS/2 doesn't support Plug and Play. It doesn't
support a Configuration Manager. As a result, OS/2 may not be able to
find your adapter if Plug and Play is enabled.
- Run Novell's* INSTALL utility on the OS/2 Requester disk and follow
Novell's instructions. When asked to enter the name of the network
interface driver, enter EPROODI.SYS.
- Choose the session support you need. This is based on your
configuration. See the NetWare* Requester manual if you need help.
- Save the configuration.
- When asked to enter the path and filename for the driver, insert the
driver disk in drive A and enter A:\OS2\EPROODI.SYS.
- When the installation section is complete, select "Configuration"
from INSTALL's main menu, then select "This Workstation". This will
allow you to modify the NET.CFG file.
Note: The default frame type for EPROODI.SYS is 802.2. If you are using
the 802.3 frame type, you have to include a frame statement in the
NET.CFG file. See the NET.CFG example above.
Hints and Tips
Verify Driver Loaded Properly
In the Config.sys file, put a "fake" device=xxx statement following the
EPROODI.SYS line. The screen will stop and you can check for error
messages.
Error message "not getting a connection ID"
This OS/2 error usually results from a frame type mismatch. Ensure the
NetWare* server (type CONFIG at console) and this workstation (review
NET.CFG file) are loading the same frame types.
NET.CFG Options
All NET.CFG options (except LINK DRIVER EPROODI) are optional for single
adapter installations.
PORT - This is the base I/O address of the adapter. If the port option
is not present, it will try to load at I/O 300. If the board is not at
300, it will return with an error message stating board not found.
INT - <optional> The system IRQ for the adapter to use. This option is
only used as a reminder which IRQ the board is set for. It does not
cause the driver to override the EEprom contents.
NODE ADDRESS - This parameter allows the driver to override the Ethernet
address in the EEprom. This is Novell's node address override feature.
To comply with Novell's multicast specification, the second digit of the
overriding address should be a 2, 6, A or E.
Syntax:
NODE ADDRESS 00AA00123456
