ABSTRACT:
A driver bundle including a compressed, executable and self-extracting host driver prepended to an adapter card driver to form a single executable driver bundle. The driver bundle has a size less than the maximum allowable size for a command file, which is 64 Kbytes as defined by MS-DOS.RTM.. The combined size of the expanded host driver and the adapter card driver is greater than the maximum allowable size. When the driver bundle is executed, it commands a processor of a computer system to expand and execute the host driver. The computer system includes a network adapter card with an adapter processor for executing the adapter card driver. When executed, the host driver commands the processor to retrieve and download the adapter card driver to the network adapter card for execution by the adapter processor.
