I. The driver USRPKT.COM can be used for the following:
U.S. Robotics 10/100 PCI NIC TX
USRPKT syntax:
USRPKT [-#] [-a] [-t] [-f] [-s] [-n] [-w] [-u] [-h] <PD_INT_NO>
Parameter Explain
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[-#] The "-#" option will let the driver work on a specific adapter
when multiple USR7900 based adapters are found in the computer
system. For example, "-1" means the first adapter will be
activated by the driver, "-2" means the second adapter will
be activated, ... etc.
A maximum of 4 adapters are supported simulaneously.
[-a] The "-a" option will let driver perform automatic media
detection during driver initialization. The detection
sequence is
TP 100Mbps Full Duplex ---> TP 10Mbps Full Duplex --->
TP 100Mbps Half Duplex ---> TP 10Mbps Half Duplex
If no physical media is attached to the adapter then TP
100Mbps Full Duplex is the default media.
[-t] The "-t" option is to use Twisted Pair (RJ-45) (10BASE-T) as
the transmission media. And it is also the default setting.
[-f] The "-f" option enables FULL_DUPLEX feature of the adapters.
It has no effect except when Twisted Pair is used.
[-s] The "-s" option sets the adapter line speed to 100Mbps. It is
a dedicated option for the USR7900 Based Ethernet adapter.
[-n] Your NOVELL server uses NOVELL ISO-like packets. Your NOVELL
workstation uses NOVELL 8137 packets. You can use this option
to convert NOVELL 8137 packets into NOVELL ISO-like packets.
[-w] Steve Wallace added a hack to let the packet drivers run under
Windows. This is not to be construed with the proper solution,
which is to write a TCP/IP package for Windows.
This hack is enabled only when you use the '-w' switch.
[-u] This option unloads the Packet Driver.
[-h] This option displays the on-line help.
<PD_INT_NO> This specifies the software interrupt (INT) where you'll load
the packet driver. It must be in the range 0x60 to 0x80.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice!! The PC/TCP kernel, by default, is loaded at interrupt 0x61
(so don't load the packet driver there!)
Example:
The following command line loads the
USR7900 based adapter Packet Driver at software interrupt 60h, transmission
media is automatical-detected:
USRPKT -a 0x60 or USRPKT 0x60
** Note **
The default transmission media is automatic-detection.
The prefix of 0x to the parameters.
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.
