Depends on what you want to do. Networking was a little (lot) less
streamlined back then.

If you want to use TCP/IP apps, you'll want to find the crynwyr packet
driver for your card. That'll let you run IP apps that use the packet
interface.

For networking with WFWG 3.11 from the DOS prompt without windows, you'll
want to use the NDIS driver for your card and the MS Lan Manager client;
it's probably available somewhere. That'll let you mount WFWG drives from
DOS.

If you want to run WFWG and use the network from within WFWG, it should
have support for that. Support from the command prompt would still need the
NDIS drivers.

This is all from my memories of running WfWG in 1993-1995. Can anyone else
chime in?
