SUBJECT : NetWare 386 and NE3200 Card
DATE : 6/12/90
FYI # : 061290sb
OS VERSION : 386
GENERAL INFORMATION : There is a small oversight in the 386 v3.0 NE3200
driver. The problem occurs when you run ethernet_ii and 802.3 on the same
line as the 386 3.0 server which is using an NE3200 card. This can happen
under two kinds of setups. 1) A 286 server with two ethernet cards in it both
connected to the same cable and set to two different network addresses. 2)
Two servers setup at different network addresses and one of them econfiged.
The problem is that the driver for the NE3200 should filter out all of the
packets that are the wrong type (802.3 or ethernet_II) and only allow the
correct packets in. The NE3200 driver allows both types in which causes
router errors.
