SLOT : specifies which adapter is enabled when multiple SMC1255FTX-SC adapters are found in your computer. The SLOT keyword is an index value corresponding to PCI BIOS. The mapping from SLOT to the physical PCI slot is different from one computer to another. E.g.: LOAD SMC1255 SLOT=3 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 2. FRAME : specifies which frame type is used by the driver. Accepted values are Ethernet_802.2, Ethernet_802.3, Ethernet_II and Ethernet_SNAP. Multiple frame types can be enabled by loading the same driver with different FRAME types. E.g.: LOAD SMC1255 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 LOAD SMC1255 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 LOAD SMC1255 FRAME=ETHERNET_II LOAD SMC1255 FRAME=ETHERNET_SNAP 3. NODE : Uses a different address to replace the node address burned in EEPROM. E.g.: LOAD SMC1255 NODE=00030FFFFFFF 4. Medium : Specifies which medium type is used by the driver. Accepted vaules are AUTO,10-HD,10-FD, 100-HD, 100-FD,100M-FX,100MFD-FX. E.g.: LOAD SMC1255 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 Medium=100-FDDownload 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.
