2. To install the drivers, just run the setup.exe in this package.
3. If an unattended install or remote install is required, the individual Plug and Play drivers can be extracted from the installer by running the setup.exe with the option "/a".
4. This will extract the drivers to a specified directory.
5. Please see the included files in the ReadMeFirst folder in this package for further information and instructions.
6. Due to the complexity of the driver and dependencies on the application (BACS), the intermediate driver and the fact that both the NetXtreme I and NetXtreme II drivers use the same intermediate drivers and application, the Broadcom network drivers are versioned according to a family of drivers and not the file version of the kernel level driver.
