B. Automated Installer based instructions
-----------------------------------------
If you received this driver package as a self extracting autolaunch executable the
installation will have started automatically upon execution. Follow the on screen 
instructions. 

Note that the automated installer can also be started in quiet mode (no dialogues or 
prompt) by decompressing the package contents (it's a Winzip self executable file) 
and running the following command line from it's root "installer /q /se"

When installing the device on Windows Vista or Windows 7 this will provide a seamless 
automated install experience whether you run the installer software first and then 
plug the device, or do it in the reversed order.

C. INF based installation instructions
--------------------------------------
If you received this driver package as a zip file containing just sys, inf, cat, dll and 
this readme.txt file you need to do an "INF based" install.

1. Power off the PC.
2. Insert the LAN9420 PCI card.
3. Power up the PC.
4. After booting, Windows XP will pop up a "Found New hardware" Wizard.
   Follow the on screen instructions, answer the questions to instruct Windows NOT to search 
   for drivers and that you will provide them yourself. Enter the path to the root of this 
   distribution (where the NDIS5.1 driver files are located) and let windows complete the 
   installation process as usual for any NIC card.
