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.
