Installation on Netware 5
NETWARE Driver Installation
Follow this sequence for installation under NETWARE.
Install the NIC into a PCI slot of a NetWare server and note the slot number for driver
configuration later (slots are generally numbered top/front to bottom/back of the
machine). It is recommended that NetWare 5.1 with Support Pack 1 or later be installed.
To install the driver, copy the dp83820.lan & dp83820.ldi files onto a floppy disk.
Load NWConfig.nlm and follow the 'Driver Options->Configure Network drivers->Select a
driver' options on the UI. Follow on-screen directions to point to the drivers installed on
floppy (A:). Put the slot number and the number of Tx, and Rx Descriptors as required.
Alternately, driver can be loaded from the command line (e.g. load a:\dp83820.lan) &
passing the required parameters. This will display the available slot options for the NIC.
The DP83820.LAN may also be configured at OS install time and can be used in
conjunction with the auto-detect feature on NetWare Install.
The different options for speed and duplex mode can be configured using NWConfig at
install
time or Inetcfg later.
