If the physical connection is working, the green light on the back of the adapter will come on when you power up the system. NOTE: OS/2 2.X requires an IBM service pack. IBM OS/2 2.0, 2.1, and 2.11 need a new version of the OS2LDR module to allow drivers to register shared interrupts. This is documented in IBM APAR PJ14230. Contact IBM to order a service pack to update the OS2LDR module. This patch is also required for OS/2 2.11 SMP prior to version S.629. HP J3171A/D5013A PCI Ethernet Adapters This network adapter is included with the HP NetServers LD Pro, LC II and HP NetServer E 45. The Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) 2.x is a specification for NIC (network interface card) drivers used by many OS/2 networking products to gain access to the LAN. For instance, the OS/2 Warp Server and OS/2 LAN Server products use the HP NDIS 2.x driver when you configure a network server to communicate via the IBM OS/2 NETBIOS protocol. The HP NDIS 2.x driver is self-configuring, which means that the driver will automatically locate and read the J3171A/D5013A adapter configuration.
