2.2 USB Ethernet Installation with eComStation 1.1 

This section will is ONLY applicable if you have the desire to configure your USB 

Ethernet Card while installing eComStation 1.1 to your computer system. If eCS is 

already installed, you should go ahead as was described in the previous section, thus 

using MPTS. eComStation 1.1 comes with a brand new even more powerfull installer, 

which was developped in coöperation with IBM using OS/2's unique CID technology. 

eCS 1.1 is a very complete and up-to-date product, and it includes all drivers 

available via SoftWare Choice.  

This section will tell you what to do once you've reached the 

Network adapters and 

protocols 

screen during instalation of the eCS 1.1 operating system, where you can 

configure your NICs. This section won't however cope with the entire eCS 1.1 

installation! We take for granted that you perform an advanced installation. The 
image below shows you the appropriate part of setup we are going to study here:
