Summary
=======
The configuration files provided with the Windows* CE driver enable support
for single or multiple network interfaces based on the following Intel network devices:
- Intel® 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller
- Intel® 82541EI Gigabit Ethernet Controller
- Intel® 82541ER Gigabit Ethernet Controller
- Intel® 82541GI Gigabit Ethernet Controller
- Intel® 82544EI Gigabit Ethernet Controller
- Intel® 82544GC Gigabit Ethernet Controller
- Intel® 82545EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller
- Intel® 82545GM Gigabit Ethernet Controller
- Intel® 82546EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller
- Intel® 82546GB Gigabit Ethernet Controller
- Intel® 82547EI Gigabit Ethernet Controller
- Intel® 82547GI Gigabit Ethernet 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 e1000ce5.REG
file. The network interface 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.
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
========================================
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.

Duplicate Display Naming
========================
When the Display Name ("Intel(R) Gigabit Ethernet Controller") is used for more
than one network interface, changes cannot 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.

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.
