# WFWG: Racal NI6510 Driver Doesn't Work with Etherblaster NIC

Article ID: 111466

Article Last Modified on 10/27/1999

APPLIES TO

- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11

This article was previously published under Q111466

## SYMPTOMS

If you use the Racal NI6510 network interface card (NIC) driver that ships with Windows for Workgroup 3.11 and you have the Racal Etherblaster network card installed in your system, you may receive the following error messages after you reboot your computer:
Error 5751: The Network Adapter Could Not Be Found

-and/or-

Error 7306: The ILANAT.DOS Driver Failed To Initialize

-and/or-

Error 5735: Protocol Manager has reported that a network adapter cannot be found.

## CAUSE

Although Microsoft does not ship an NDIS 3 driver for this card, the NDIS 2 driver (NI6510.DOS) should work correctly with the Etherblaster. However, Racal has confirmed that the driver shipped with Windows for Workgroups 3.11 does not work with this NIC.

## RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, you must use the NI6510.DOS driver from Racal. If you have a modem, you can download this driver from the Racal bulletin board service at (508) 264-4345. The file date is 9/17/93 and the file size is 11,124 bytes. Racal will have an NDIS 3 driver for this NIC available in the future.
