Installation Notes for Windows* 98

The PRO/100 CardBus II adapters are supplied with an NDIS5 driver (E100BNT5.SYS) for operation in Windows* 98. If your environment requires the Novell client 32 driver under Windows 98 (as indicated by your network administrator), see the Windows Help file CB2HELP.HLP and NETWARE.TXT on the Intel CD.

Note: If your laptop computer does not have a CD-ROM drive, see "Making a Floppy Disk."

Note: When you insert the Intel CD to install drivers, an auto-run file displays an introductory screen with several buttons. This is not part of the installation process, and you may close it or leave it open for later reading.

  1. With Windows running, insert the PRO/100 CardBus II adapter into the CardBus slot and connect cables.

  2. Windows detects the adapter (PCI Ethernet Controller) and displays the Add New Hardware Wizard. Click Next to continue. In this procedure, the LAN driver will be installed first and then the modem driver (if you have the PRO/100 LAN+Modem56 adapter). If the New Hardware Found window does NOT appear, you may need to enable CardBus support in your mobile computer's BIOS. See your computer's manual for information.

  3. On the next screen, Windows prompts for a driver search. Choose "Search for the best driver (Recommended)" and click Next.

  4. Insert the Intel CD or floppy disk and select the corresponding checkbox. Click Next to continue. If necessary, specify the path to your CD-ROM or floppy drive.

  5. The new dialog displays the name of the adapter, "Intel(R) PRO/100 LAN+Modem56 CardBus II" or "Intel(R) PRO/100 CardBus II" depending on the product you are installing. Choose "The updated driver (Recommended). Click Next.

  6. Windows confirms the device name and location of the LAN driver (NET82557.INF). Click Next to continue. Windows may prompt you for the location of Windows networking files. Usually these are located in C:\windows\options\cabs or on your Windows 98 installation CD.

  7. A message confirming successful LAN driver installation appears. Click Finish.

  8. If you have the LAN only adapter, restart your computer when prompted and proceed to step 11. If you have the LAN+Modem adapter, do not restart your computer yet. When prompted to do so, click No and proceed to step 9.

  9. Windows detects the modem portion of the adapter (PCI Serial Controller) and repeats the wizard process above for the modem (driver name is MDME100B.INF). At the end of this process, a small dialog appears stating "Your card has been successfully configured." Click OK to close this dialog.

  10. If the New Hardware Found wizard is present, click Finish.

  11. For most networks, you will need to configure properties for your protocols, computer identification, and preferred servers. Contact your network administrator for details if you need assistance.

  12. Restart the computer to complete installation.

  13. If you are not in the U.S. or Canada, run the Country Identifier utility to specify your location. The utility is located in the Intel CardBus II program group.
