Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller Ethernet Driver
for
DOS ODI
Copyright (c) 2002-2003 Broadcom Corporation
All rights reserved.
For use on PCs running DOS version 6.22 only.
To use to login to a Novell Netware Server use the Novell ZENWorks Starter Pack
to setup and configure your PC.
To login to NETBEUI/NDIS environments please use Novell's ODINSUP.COM protocol
as a link between the B44 DOS ODI driver and the NETBEUI/NDIS protocols.
CUSTOM KEYWORDS in driver v1.10 for net.cfg:
BUSNUM
DEVNUM
MODEL
LINESPEED
DUPLEX
The first two keywords are used concurrently and have been included for
manufacturing purposes. Do not use them unless you are familiar with PCI
device configuration.
These two keywords are needed if multiple NetXtreme boards are on a system
and (a) specific NetXtreme adapter/s need to be loaded in specific order.
BUSNUM specifies the PCI bus number and DEVNUM specifies the device
number given to the board when configured by the PCI BIOS.
A PCI device scan utility is needed to find this info.
The values are in decimal.
Example:
if a PCI scan utility displays card 1 at bus 4 and device 11(hex) and
card 3 at bus 3 device 13 hex then the following would be put into net.cfg
to load card 3 first and optionally load card 1 second:
LINK DRIVER B44
BUSNUM 3
DEVNUM 19 (13 hex = 19 decimal)
LINK DRIVER B44
BUSNUM 4
DEVNUM 17 (11 hex = 17 decimal)
The MODEL keyword is for loading the driver only on the first NIC found
that has a sub-vendor ID (SVID) that matches the one set in MODEL. The driver
will ignore all other NICs that do not have a matching SVID.
MODEL expects a decimal number.
Example:
LINK DRIVER B44
MODEL 5348
LINESPEED:
This decimal parameter, 10/100, specifies the speed of the network connection.
DUPLEX:
This string parameter, HALF/FULL, specifies duplex mode on the ethernet controller.
The Linespeed parameter must be set when this keyword is used. If neither the Duplex
nor the Linespeed paramaters are specified the ethernet controller will default to
autonegotiate mode.
Example:
LINK DRIVER B44
LINESPEED 100
DUPLEX FULL
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.
