EIGER LABS POCKET NETWORK ADAPTOR PACKET DRIVER
==============================================

The Packet Driver is writen to the PC/TCP Version 1.09 Packet Driver
Specification developed by FTP Software Inc.


Document conventions
--------------------

               All numbers in this document are given in C-style
          representation.  Decimal is expressed as 11, hexadecimal is
          expressed as 0x0B, octal is expressed as 013.  All reference to
          network hardware addresses (source, destination and multicast)
          and demultiplexing information for the packet headers assumes
          they are represented as they would be in a MAC-level packet
          header being passed to the send_pkt() function.


Using the packet drivers
------------------------

               The packet driver must be installed prior to use.  Since
          each packet driver takes only a few thousand bytes, this is best
          done in your autoexec.bat.  Since the Ethernet boards typically
          have jumpers on board, the packet driver must be informed of the
          values of these jumpers (auto-configure is possible, but can
          disturb other boards).  The first parameter is the software
          interrupt used to communicate with the packet driver.  And
          again, because each board is different, the rest of the
          parameters will be different.

          All parameters must be specified in C-style representation.
          Decimal is expressed as 11, hexadecimal is expressed as 0x0B,
          octal is expressed as 013.  Any numbers that the packet driver
          prints will be in the same notation.

          Before installing the packet driver, you must choose a software
          interrupt number in the range between 0x60 and 0x80.  Some of
          these interrupts are used for other purposes, so your first
          choice may not work.  See Appendix A for the section of Ralf
          Brown's interrupt list between 0x60 and 0x80.

          Running a packet driver with no specifications will give a
          usage message.  The parameters for each packet driver are
          documented below.

          The -n option is used to convert IPX packets between the
          Ethernet II type 8137 encapsulation used by BYU's PDSHELL IPX
          interface code and the 802.3-style encapsulation normally used
          on Ethernet by Netware servers, shells and boot PROMs.  It will
          also convert incoming type 8137 packets to type 8138 so that
          Netware doesn't get confused.

          The -d option is used to delay the initialization of the
          Ethernet card until the packet driver is used for the first
          time.  See PROMBOOT.NOT for how to use -d and -n in a PROM boot
          environment.

          The -w switch is used for Windows.  Install the packet driver
          before running MS-Windows.  This switch does not prevent Windows
          from swapping your network application out of memory, it simply
          detects when that has happened, and drops the packets on the
          floor.

          Brown's interrupt list.

How To Update Drivers Manually

After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.

  • Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).

  • If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.

  • Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.

  • Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.

  • Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

  • From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.

  • Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.

Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
