Appendix C - NDIS 2.0.1 Driver Installation

Windows for Workgroups 3.1 Driver

The DEC NDIS driver supports the Windows for Workgroups 3.1 environment. The installation for the NDIS 2.0.1 driver is menu driven through the Windows interface.

The files on the BC f Series 10/100 Base-T Driver Diskette are compressed in the form of self extracting ZIP files. Before installation of any drivers, the appropriate ZIP file must be decompressed.

wfw3l -d

The decompressed drivers will be placed on the same diskette. After the files are decompressed, the diskette is ready for installation.
