Does anyone know if Intel or Novell has written a 32 bit driver
for Windows 95 and Netware's 32 bit client?

I have been running the 32 bit client on NE2100 cards with good
success and would like to also use Intels 16 bit card as well.

Thanks.
Jeff

Normally, there is no need to write a special 32 bit driver for
client32. Client32 uses the same drivers as Netware servers. The
server driver must however be written following Novell's latest
specifications. Not all server drivers do automatically work with
client32. While only drivers for Novell cards come with client32,
Novell includes .INF files for many other cards. These files are
called ODIxxx.INF. I don't know whether there is a file for Intel
cards too. There is one other .INF file (I don't remeber the exact
name, but it is documented in the text or help files that come with
client32) which contains a list of all .INF files that are considerd
by the installation program. Normally almost all lines are commented
out. You should simply remove the ";" a the start of the line
containing the reference to the .INF file you want. You should also
have a diskette containing the .LAN file for your card by hand and
start the installation program.
