1.0 Introduction
----------------

        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
        install the provided packet driver without problems.

        The ENW-3501 Ethernet PC Card Installation diskette contains
        Packet drivers and installation notes for some of the most
        popular operating systems which  support Packet drivers.

        The most important thing to remember when installing the  packet
        driver is the software interrupt vector.  The default interrupt
        vector for 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 section 2.2, "Explanation Of The Required Setup
        Parameters and Options", for information on packet driver
        parameters.

        Since the ENW-3501 Ethernet PC Card is 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 should
        normally working properly.

3.0 Explanation Of The Required Setup Commands and Parameters
-------------------------------------------------------------

3.1.Two methods available to install Packet driver
------------------------------------------------------------
     Method 1.
     In your CONFIG.SYS file, include the DEVICE command.

        Format:
        DEVICE = ENW35.SYS [/option] <packet_int_no>


     Method 2.
     Install Packet driver by typing ENW35 at the DOS command prompt.

        Format:
        ENW35.COM [/option] <packet_int_no>


3.2 Explanation Of The Required Setup Parameters and Options
------------------------------------------------------------

        Packet Driver
  Parameters and Options    Description

       <packet_int_no>      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                   This parameter is only to be used 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




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.
