Windows CE Network Interface Installation
12/18/2002

Summary
The configuration files provided with the Windows* CE driver enable support for single
or multiple network interfaces based on the 82559, 82559ER, 82551, 82551ER, or 82562 Fast Ethernet 
PCI Controller. This technical note provides information on installation and configuration. 
A specific example is shown for a 2-port scenario in a single system.

Single Network Interface Configuration
Use an ASCII text editor to read and modify the contents of the CONFIG.BIB and
PLATFORM.REG files. The network interface requires its own
reserved memory range, denoted in the CONFIG.BIB file. The size should match the
size of the default range (currently about 120KB) and must not conflict with any other
reserved ranges. The network interface also needs a Registry configuration in the
PLATFORM.REG file. The protocol information should be modified (e.g., different IP
address or gateway) to correspond to your application.
Modify the CE_PhysAddr Registry value to match the base address of the corresponding
memory range reserved above in the CONFIG.BIB file. The PCI slot no longer needs to be 
set via the registry.  Instead, the information is found via a PCI bus enumerator built into
the Windows CE operating system.  Bindings, routes, and linkages are now handled by the operating
system as well, eliminating the need to set the linkage and route by hand.  



Multiple Network Interface Configuration
Each network interface requires its own reserved memory range. These
additional memory ranges must be added to the CONFIG.BIB file. The size of each
range should match the size of the default, approximately 120KB. These memory ranges
must not overlap or conflict with any other reserved ranges. The only things that may need to be
modified are the subnet mask, default gateway, and IP address, in the case of static IP usage.

Modify the CE_PhysAddr Registry value for each of the new interfaces to match the
base address of the corresponding memory range reserved in the CONFIG.BIB file.

About Display Names

When the same Display Name (Intel(R) Fast Ethernet Controller) is used for multiple
network interfaces, no changes can be made once the Windows CE image is loaded. This
behavior is due to a limitation in the OS. Windows CE treats adapter settings with
identical Display Names as the same. When a change is made in the Network
Configuration (Control Panel) to one network interface, it affects all the others with the
same Display Name. When a static IP address is used in the Windows CE build, all
network interfaces with the same Display Name will list the same IP address. The
Registry settings will have the correct values. This limitation does not apply in a PC
development platform due to the ability to remove and re-insert a network adapter for the
changes to take effect.

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.
