Pocket Ethernet Adapter drivers included with Windows for Workgroups,
the following error message is displayed when your system boots up:

CAUSE
The Xircom Network Simplicity series of network adapter cards are not
supported with Windows for Workgroups. They are very similar to
Xircom's Pocket Ethernet Adapters; however, they are not Network
Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) certified, and do not work with
either of the Pocket Ethernet Adapter drivers included with Windows
for Workgroups.
MORE INFORMATION
The Network Simplicity adapters were developed for Novell NetWare Lite
and are proprietary to Novell NetWare Lite.
The Network Simplicity adapters can be identified by a "Network
Simplicity" label on the case and "NS" on the end of the serial
number.
For additional information, contact Xircom technical support.
The Novell and Xircom products included here are manufactured by
vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or
otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.
