Adding a New Board Driver or NLM File to Your System

For a list of board drivers that are certified for use with the Novell Internet Access Server 4.1 routing software, refer to the Novell Labs WWW location at http://labs.novell.com/infosys/bulletin.htm.

To add a new board driver or NetWare Loadable Module ^TM (NLM^TM ) file, complete the following steps:

1. Load NIASCFG, then select the following parameter path:

   Select Configure NIAS > Protocols and Routing > Boards

2. Press Ins to display the list of available drivers.

3. Press Ins again.

   The New Driver screen is displayed. You must now tell the system where to copy the driver from.

4. Enter the full pathname of the driver at the console prompt, then press Enter .

   If NIASCFG cannot find the driver file you enter, the message Driver file not found is displayed.

   NOTE:  You can also use this screen for copying drivers and NLM files from a floppy diskette to the SYS:/SYSTEM directory.

   To add a driver to the list of available drivers, insert the diskette containing the driver in one of the disk drives, specify the complete path and filename of the driver (for example, A:\NEWDRV\DRIVER), then press Enter . The driver and its description file, if any, are copied into the SYS:SYSTEM directory. (Note that the file extension is not required.)

5. Configure the new board as described in the appropriate section in this section.
