If anyone out there is trying to load the Western Digital Ethercard Plus drivers multiple times under OS/2 (because you have 2 or 3 cards etc), WATCH OUT. There is a bug in the way they wrote there drivers. They can't be loaded multiple times. We tested versions 1.04 and 1.08. What you have to do is take a copy of the driver and change all MACWD$ strings in one copy to MACW0$ and in another to MACW1$ etc etc. Then in the PROTOCOL.INI file just reference the correct names. It just seems that there driver has a hard coded MACWD$ to match in the protocol.ini which means that both occurances of the driver will match the first entry and then the second driver complains.
