The DV> user guide has one page about installing the card under an OS/2 DV> workstation using Novell but nothing about using it for Lanserver, If calling 3COM (1-800-NET-3COM) does not solve your problem, then you will have to wait till 3COM releases drivers - I doubt the latter though since I have been able to download drivers from their BBS for every card I have used from 3COM. It is likely that 3COM will give you instructions on how to find the file on the 3COM bbs. Sometimes they 'hide' new drivers in a certain file area not normally visible - I can only presume they want to know who is downloading .
