1.0 Support and DeveloperNet Labs Guidelines

Novell provides these Open Data-link Interface (ODI) specifications and associated documents for hardware vendors and others who create LAN adapter drivers. These specifications provide the information for developing NetWare server compatible drivers that will operate on NetWare versions 3.2, 4.11, and 5 (the applicability of these specifications on other versions of NetWare 3.x or 4.x is not guaranteed. Specifications and support modules for Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) driver development are also included. Engineering support for driver development is available as part of DeveloperNet.

To be eligible to receive a NetWare compatibility bulletin for your completed driver requires that you register with DeveloperNet at the appropriate level and that the testing be performed by a Novell Authorized Testing Center (NATC).
