LAN Manager and Windows for Workgroups: These programs use protocols that
are incompatible with the internet standard. They try to pretend
the cards are ethernet, and confuse everyone else on the network.
- However, v1.90 ALPHA and later of the Linux ARCnet driver support
- this protocol via the 'arc0w' device. After setting up arc0 as
- usual, ifconfig and set up routes to your WfWg-protocol hosts
- through arc0w.
+ However, v1.93 ALPHA and later of the Linux ARCnet driver support
+ this protocol via the 'arc0e' device. After setting up arc0 as
+ usual, ifconfig and set up routes to your ethernet-encap hosts
+ through arc0e. There may be non-Microsoft products that support
+ this protocol as well, so it was changed in 1.93 ALPHA from arc0w
+ to arc0e.
Using the freeware Samba server and clients for Linux, you can now
interface quite nicely with TCP/IP-based WfWg or Lan Manager
