Installing Update 1 of the Intel EtherExpress Device Driver for NEXTSTEP Release 3.1 for Intel Processors

These instructions show you how to install the updated Intel EtherExpress device driver on Intel-based computers running NEXTSTEPä Release 3.1. The driver is distributed in an Installer package file named EtherExpressDriver.pkg.

With this updated driver, you can connect your computer to your network using your Intel EtherExpress network adapter's BNC, AUI, or RJ-45 connector.

The following models of the EtherExpress network adapter have been tested with this driver:
·	EtherExpress16, first generation (BNC and AUI connectors)
·	EtherExpress16TP, first and second generations (RJ-45 and AUI connectors)
·	EtherExpress16C (BNC, RJ-45, and AUI connectors)
In addition, the second generation of the EtherExpress16 is anticipated to work, but has not been tested.
