SYMPTOMS
========

Some AMD2100/AMD1500T network cards (for example, the embedded network card on
Hewlett Packard Vectra systems) have problems with the network boot disk, which
is created with the Windows NT Client Administrator. The system stops responding
after the network card driver is loaded. With a newer AM2100.dos driver from
AMD, the system works fine.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0. We are
researching this problem and will post new information in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION
================

AMD has a newer driver available on its FTP site at:
