These drivers are for the NE2000 and NE/2 card and the Netware for Mac vaps
version 2.0. They solve a problem with the Phase II versions of the
drivers not accepting packets padded to an even number. The FastPath and
the EtherPort cards pad there packets to an even number. This was not in
the Phase II spec so the problem is actually with the FastPath and the
EtherPorts, but using these new drivers for the NE2000 and NE/2 will allow
your server to accept these even packets.
The problem you will see is devices on the LocalTalk side of a FastPath and
Macs on Ethernet using the EtherPort card will not see the server when set
up for Phase II. To add these drivers to your server you need to
renetgen.
Please call (408) 473-8700 for questions regarding Netware for Macintosh.
