When performing virus scans with Norton or McAfee software, you must exclude the protected NSS volume named _ADMIN. Otherwise, the server will abend.
For performance and scalability reasons, all ISA adapter drivers have been removed from NetWare 6. There is a possibility that a family driver might support adapters which run on more than one bus type (PCI and ISA). In this case, any ISA adapter would be considered a noncertified driver and would not be supported by Novell®.
There are no certified CardBus or Mini-PCI drivers in NetWare 6. However, we have included drivers for adapters that use the 3COM* 3C1556.LAN Mini-PCI driver and drivers for XIRCOM CardBus adapters, which use the CE3ODI.LAN driver. These drivers are located in the DRIVERS\UNSUPDRV directory on the Operating System CD or in the NWSERVER\DRIVERS\UNSUPDRV directory, located in the DOS partition after installation.
IMPORTANT: Although these drivers might work, they have been included only for use in cases where laptop servers are needed for demonstration purposes. They should be considered not supported by Novell. See the Readme in the UNSUPDRV directory for details.
In some cases there are no substitutes for LAN drivers. For example, Compaq no longer supports the Netflex 3 LAN hardware associated with the CPQNF3.LAN driver. 3Com provides limited support for their 3c90x LAN card line to LAN cards starting with the 3c905b hardware and beyond.
Unsupported versions of these drivers are located on the NetWare 6 Operating System CD and can be installed in the NWSERVER\DRIVERS\UNSUPDRV directory.
Patches for backup and restore operations will be available on the Novell Support Web site concurrent with the shipment of NetWare 6.
WAN support is not included with NetWare 6. If you are upgrading from a previous version of NetWare, your AUTOEXEC.NFC and STARTUP.NCF files might need to be edited to remove WAN components that are autoloaded.
