PCnet™ Family Software FAQs - Novell NetWare Server
I am trying to use the PCnet v3.2 or later version of the 32 bit Server ODI driver on NetWare Server version 3.12 or 4.10. When I try to load the driver, I see a number of error messages. Do I need to go back to an older version of the driver? Can I use the v3.2 or later driver in some way to take advantage of the enhancements / bug fixes that are available in the new drivers?





Q:I am trying to use the PCnet v3.2 or later version of the 32 bit Server ODI driver on NetWare Server version 3.12 or 4.10. When I try to load the driver, I see a number of error messages. Do I need to go back to an older version of the driver? Can I use the v3.2 or later driver in some way to take advantage of the enhancements / bug fixes that are available in the new drivers?
A:The PCnet v3.2 version of the 32 bit Server ODI driver is HSM 3.3 compliant. Since the standard NetWare Server version 3.12 or 4.10 does not support HSM 3.3 specification, we recommend that you continue to use the older version of the driver.

However, if you want to take advantage of the enhancements included in the v3.2 32 bit Server ODI driver, you will need to contact Novell to get patch updates for the 3.12 NetWare Server.

Please note that upgrading from NetWare 4.10 is much simpler than for NetWare 3.12. If you are upgrading to NetWare 4.10, you will need to upgrade the following four modules which are available in the v3.2 release distribution media:

NBI.NLM, NWPA.NLM, MSM.NLM and Ethertsm.NLM.
