Installing the Network Adapter Driver on a Novell NetWare 6.5 System
This section contains the procedure for installing a network adapter driver
on a system running Novell NetWare 6.5.
Files Needed for
Installation
The .LDI file and the .LAN file for your adapter must be present to
successfully complete installation.
You can perform the procedure using the Allied Telesyn Installation CD or,
for those systems without a CD drive, a driver installation diskette. For
instructions on how to create a driver installation diskette, refer to
“Creating a Driver Installation Disk” on page 68. The network adapter
driver is stored in the \drivers\netware subdirectory on the Allied
Telesyn Installation CD and in the \netware subdirectory on a driver
installation diskette.

into the appropriate drive.
