Solution:
ODI Driver Support
1. Full
error reporting capability can be obtained by using Novell's LANalyzer
Version 2.2 and the 16-bit DOS based ODI driver, for your network
adapter, which are fully promiscuous.
2. The ODI driver can be
used in a Windows* 95 or Windows 98 environment, but it requires that
separate hardware profiles and boot menu options be implemented.
Note:
In earlier driver releases, the 32-bit *.LAN driver was supported in
this environment. That is no longer the case. The *.LAN drivers are
only supported in a Server configuration and lack the *.INF file needed
to provide promiscuous mode operations. This is due to Novell's move
toward drivers based on the NDIS specification.
NDIS Driver Support:
1.
The current NDIS specification does not fully support error reporting,
so some error packets (runts, shorts, oversized packets, overloaded
server errors) will not be passed up the stack when the NDIS drivers
are used.
2. Since the NDIS stack is less than cooperative in
passing errors, the software developer had to come up with a means to
replicate these errors to their software (application layer). With no
real process in place, each developer has done this according to their
own extensions to the NDIS specification and their development
paradigm. In most all cases it required a separate modification to the
Xircom NDIS driver to work with each program. Each sniffer package has
different requirements and modified drivers are generally provided by
that developer. These drivers are not Xircom drivers and are not
supported by Xircom.
