Packet Driver
Introduction:
-------------
This document describes the procedure to setup the Packet driver for
CardBus fast ethernet card.
Location of Driver: RTSPKT.COM
Notes:
------
1. Enable the CardBus fast ethernet card
Execute encb.bat
2. Load the packet driver using the software interrupt and any
optional switches if required.
Usage: RTSPKT [options] <software_int_no> [-m media type] [bus_no device_no]
Example: RTSPKT -i 0x7e
The only required parameter is the software interrupt. A packet
driver needs to have a software interrupt assigned to it for other
programs to access it. The recommended interrupt 0x7e. If you need
any of the options listed below, place them before the software
interrupt on the command line.
-i - Force driver to report itself as 802.3 instead of Ethernet II.
-d - Delayed initialization. Used for diskless booting
-n - NetWare conversion. Converts 802.3 packets into 8137 packets
-w - Windows hack, obsoleted by winpkt
-p - Promiscuous mode disable
-h - Help
-u - Uninstall
3. Media type can be used to force the card to work on specific
speed and duplex mode. If no media type if specified, then
driver will read hardware configuration from EEPROM on the
card. The hardware configuration can be modified by running
'rset' directory on driver disk.
