Packet drivers are general drivers used by many operating systems,
especially TCP/IP software packages. If the network system that
is installed specifically mentions support for packet drivers,
then it is likely that it will be able to the provided packet
driver without problems.
The most important thing to remember when installing packet driver
is the software interrupt vector. The default interrupt vector for
D-Link packet drivers is 0x62 hexadecimal. Most network operating
system supporting packet drivers will try to automatically search
for packet drivers already loaded in the computer's memory.
However, some packages will require a provided interrupt vector
for the packet driver. Furthermore, some packages can only work
with certain interrupt vectors. which require a software interrupt
vector parameter when loading. Please see the section at the end
of this document for description on packet driver parameters.
Since the DE-650 Ethernet PC Cards are software configurable,
the packet driver will automatically detect the hardware
parameters. If the packet driver can properly read the adapter's
MAC address during loading, then the hardware is normally working
properly.

DEVICE = DE65SPD.SYS [/option] <packet_int_no>
DE65SPD.COM [/option] <packet_int_no>
Packet Driver Parameters:
<packet_int_no> is the software interrupt vector number used by the
packet driver program. This can be from 96 to 128.
[/option] includes the following:
/? Show available parameters
/d Delay Initial - The driver program will not
initialize the network interface card until the
packet driver program is accessed by its upper
layer program.
/w The -w parameter is for use only in the Windows
environment.
/u Unload the packet driver.
/c Assign card number for driver.
/n NetWare conversion. Convert 802.3 packets to
8137 packets
/auto Automatically detect connected media.
*This is the default setting for media type.
/utp Switch media type to UTP.
/bnc Switch media type to BNC.
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.
