DESCRIPTION:  Contains a UnixWare 7.1.1a driver update for any of the 
Compaq Ethernet or Fast Ethernet Adapters listed above.

Enhancements/Fixes:  
 - Resolves the issue where the network adapter did not work as expected when a 
   delay was introduced during the startup of the adapter while booting up a 
   cluster environment.  Modified start up code in driver.

HOW TO USE:

1. This machine must be a Windows or DOS based OS for steps 1 - 4.
   Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change
   to that directory.  The file that is downloaded is an self-extracting
   executable with a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above.

2. From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file
   and follow the on-screen instructions.  Enter "Y" to confirm
   the unpacking of files into the downloaded directory.

3. After the files have been unpacked, you may delete the
   SoftPaq file downloaded in step 1.

4. There will be a QRST5.EXE file in the directory.  Execute QRST5.EXE
   and follow the directions to make a diskette to be used for adding
   the package to the server.  The diskette must be a DOS formated
   disk.

5. Log into the server where the driver is going to be replaced as "root".

6. Use "netcfg" to remove any existing instances of the Ethernet and/or 
   Fast Ethernet adapters.

7. Remove any existing package that exist by typing in "pkgrm ptfn100c" at
   a unix prompt.

8. Use the "pkgadd -d diskette1" command on the server to perform the 
   installation using the diskette that was created.

9. Use "netcfg" to add in and configure your network adapters.

10. After the update or installation is complete, link the kernel and restart 
    the server.

NOTE:  Refer to the unix manual or man pages for information on "netcfg",
       "pkgrm", and/or "pkgadd".
