Updated Novell Ethernet Drivers
Novell recently placed new operating system (OS) drivers and shell drivers for
the NE1000, NE2000, and NE/2 network interface boards on NetWire.
o The new NE/2 and NE2000 Novell Ethernet drivers have AppleTalk support built
in. However, they can still be used in a non-AppleTalk environment.
o The NE2000 driver was updated to include support for multiple fragment
transmissions of packets used by the current Macintosh VAPS.
o The previous device drivers allowed the data buffer on an NE1000, NE2000, or
NE/2 interface board to occasionally fill and overflow, causing performance
degradation at the workstation.
o The NE1000 O.S. drivers are dated 12/04/89. The NE1000 shell driver is dated
12/27/89.
o The NE2000 O.S. drivers are dated 11/29/89. The NE2000 shell driver is dated
12/27/89.
o The NE/2 O.S. and shell drivers are all dated 11/29/89.
