    The NetWare drivers for G/Ethernet Network Adapter Cards from Gateway
    Communications, Inc. will inadvertantly change the system speed on Compaq
    machines while attempting to identify the machine type.


    SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

        G/Ethernet 16-bit Network Adapter Card


    WHO SHOULD USE:

    This patch will be required by anyone wishing to run a Compaq machine
    as a NetWare fileserver or workstation at a consistent speed while a
    16-bit G/Ethernet Network Adapter Card is present.  The LAN driver will
    change the machine speed during its initialization.


    HOW TO USE:

        1) Make backup copies of the following Gateway driver files:

                                      NetWare V2.0a     NetWare V2.1x

           (Only one set of the files listed above may be patched at one
            time.  You must specify which version of NetWare that you are
            patching, and FXGATE will know which files to expect)

        2) To patch files listed above, you must use the FXGATE batch file
           that has the patch locations already loaded on the command line.
           Supported versions of NetWare are: 2.0a, 2.1, 2.11, 2.12 and 2.15.
           If the files are not in the default directory, you will need to
           specify the drive and/or path as follows:
    
               FXGATE  [Drive:][Path\]
