Installing Network Drivers
This file describes how to install REALTEK rtl8139B(L) CardBus network card
that completes your notebook PC to network.
Before You Install the Network Driver
Make sure which network driver you should use. The drivers for each OS
environment are provided on the list:
Windows 95 version 4.00.950 or 4.00.950a
Windows 95 version 4.00.950b or OSR2
Windows NT version
Windows 98
Windows 2000
Windows Millennium
NetWare ODI Client
Microsoft Network Client for DOS
Windows for Workgroups v3.11
Which Windows 95 version am I running?
You must determine if you are running the new Windows 95 OEM Service
Release 2 (OSR2) or the standard Windows 95 before you install the network
driver.
Since standard Windows 95 does not support CardBus, the driver installation
directory is different.
Follow these steps to find out which version of Windows 95 you are running:
1. In the Windows 95 Control Panel, double-click System to display the
System Properties dialog box.
2. Click the General Tab to display the Windows 95 version information.
If your Windows 95 version is 4.00.950 or 4.00.950a, go to the next section
to install the network driver.
If your Windows 95 version is 4.00.950b (OSR2), go to the Windows 95 Version
4.00.950b (OSR2) section to install the network driver.
