The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q134524 SYMPTOMS
Newer versions of the Racal EtherBlaster network adapter may not work with
the Windows 95 Ni6510.dos driver. You may receive one of the following
error messages:
- Error reading configuration. Run diagnostics.
- Error loading device driver Ni6510.dos
- Error 7306 Device failed
- Error 7321
CAUSE
The Racal EtherBlaster, NI6510, and NI6510SC network adapters all use the
same NDIS 2 driver, Ni6510.dos. The copy of this driver included with
Windows 95 does not support the newer versions of the Racal EtherBlaster
network adapter. The disk included with the Racal EtherBlaster network
adapter contains a newer driver that does work with the newer adapters.
Note that the newer driver also works with the NI6510 and NI6510SC network
adapters.

OEM driver Ni6510.dos v.5.50 11,540 1/4/94
The date on the driver files may differ from the date shown here. The size
and version numbers should match those shown here.
RESOLUTION
Replace the Windows 95 Ni6510.dos driver with the driver included on the
disk from the network adapter manufacturer. To do so, rename the Ni6510.dos
file in the Windows folder, copy the file from the disk to the Windows
folder, and then restart your computer.
