32-Bit IO Mode PCI Ethernet Adapter Initialization Program =================================== 1. Introduction: This program, E32INIT.EXE, is an initialization program for 32-Bit PCI adapter. It can initialize the adapter to be compatible with NE2000 drivers. 2. How to use the program: 2.1 Device Driver Include the following into your CONFIG.SYS: USAGE: DEVICE = E32INIT.EXE IO=xxxxh, IDX=x or DEVICEHIGHT = E32INIT.EXE IO=xxxxh, IDX=x 2.2 Running the following in DOS command prompt: USAGE: C:> E32INIT IO=xxxxh, IDX=x or E32INIT ? (show help message) Note: ----- IO: assigning the I/O ports base address for your LAN adapter, it need 32 contiguous ports for working properly. Make sure the LAN adapter I/O ports do not conflict with other devices in your machine. If you do not specify the I/O, the E32INIT will use the address assigned by PCI BIOS as its I/O port BASE address. IDX: It specifies which LAN adapter card is initialized. You should use this parameter when you have more than one 32-bit adapter in your PC. 2.3 Example: DEVICE = E32INIT.EXE DEVICE = E32INIT.EXE IO=300h DEVICE = E32INIT.EXE IDX=0 DEVICE = E32INIT.EXE IO=D020h IDX=1 C:\> E32INIT C:\> E32INIT IO=240h C:\> E32INIT IO=F060h IDX=0 2.4 When the E32INIT is excuting, the screen displays the adapter's I/O port address, IRQ number and Ethernet address. All of the above information is required for running NE2000 driver. (!! You must specify the I/O BASE and INTERRUPT values in the PROTOCOL.INI as running NE2000 NDIS2/DOS driver) 3. Running NE2000 DOS/ODI driver: Example: C:\> E32INIT IO=300h C:\> LSL C:\> NE2000 C:\> IPXODI C:\> VLM NET.CFG: -------- . . . LINK DRIVER NE2000 Port 300 IRQ 11 . . Port and IRQ values will be displayed after execute the E32INIT.EXE!! 4. Running NE2000 NDIS/DOS driver: CONFIG.SYS ---------- . . . DEVICE=C:\LSP\E32INIT.EXE IO=D000h IDX=0 DEVICE=C:\LSP\PROTMAN.DOS /i:C:\LSP DEVICE=C:\LSP\NE2000.DOS . . . PROTOCOL.INI ------------ . . . [NE2000_NIF] DRIVERNAME = MS2000$ IOBASE = 0xD000 INTERRUPT = 9 ============================================================== ** All trademarks or brand names mentioned are trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective companies. ==============================================================Download Driver Pack
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.
