********************************
* INSTALLATION TROUBLESHOOTING *
********************************

Important note: If this is not your first network installation in 
WFW, you may have a problem with old information still being in the 
setup files, causing functional problems.  If you are experiencing 
problems, go to Network Setup and select "No Network".  Restart the 
system. Examine the setup files (config.sys, win.ini, protocol.ini, 
system.ini) and make sure that no references to network adapters 
exists.  From the root, type the following command:

	dir \windows\system\oem*

Examine these .inf files and if any of them are pertinent to old
installations of network adapters, delete them. Delete old versions 
of network adapter drivers (DEFEA.DOS).  
Then go back into Network Setup and add your network adapters
normally.


**************** 
* DRIVER TYPES *
****************

When installing the adapter, only the NDIS2 driver (real mode) is 
supported.

The NDIS 3 driver (enhanced mode) is not available for this adapter.

The DOS ODI driver is available.  However, Windows for Workgroups does 
not install FDDI DOS ODI client drivers properly.  Also, Novell's ODINSUP
shim does not support FDDI DOS ODI client drivers, so you cannot run
NDIS 2 compliant protocol stacks over the DOS ODI driver.  For more
information on DOS ODI driver installations under WFW 3.11, consult
\NOVELL\DOSODI\README.TXT.
