[comp.dcom.lans] How do I get a netware driver?

pcb@gator.cacs.usl.edu (Peter C. Bahrs) (08/20/90)

How and where can I get a novell netware driver for an AT&T MC100
ethernet board?

News:  I have been stuck with Ungermann Bass NICPS2 boards but thanks
to some great help from the net, I have learned that this is the same
board as the AT&T MC100.  I wanted to install the server using the AT&T
board but the lan_drv.00N disks do not contain the driver.

The UB NIC/PS2 is OEM'd by AT&T and is called the MC100. Netware will run
on this board by either:

1. Raw Novell drivers. Available from Novell NetWire (Compuserve) as ATTMC.ZIP

2. Combination of NDIS driver (attcsma.dos, version 3.2.1 or 3.2.2) and Hughes
   Lan Syatem's Prolinc (supports Netware running on an NDIS driver).

3. FTP's dis_pkt.dos "packet-to-NDIS" adapter and the BYU Novell drivers run-
   ning on the AT&T NDIS driver (attcsma.dos) (if and when BYU fixes their 
   code to run on the FTP adapter/driver).
