EtherWORKS Packet Driver V1.04
==============================
EWRK3.COM is a packet driver for the EtherWORKS 3 cards: (DE203, DE204 and
DE205). The driver can be invoked using the following command:
ewrk3 <Software Interrupt>
Where <Software Interrupt> is a hex number from 60-80(inclusive). Normally
software interrupt vector 60 can be used(e.g. ewrk3 60) or (e.g. ewrk3 0x60)
*NOTE*: Be careful when choosing a software interrupt vector as not
to use one that is in use by another program. The following
should be avoided:
o 0x67 can be used by EMS Memory manager functions
o 0x70 - 0x77 can be used to access IRQ's 8 - 15
After this command is invoked the EtherWORKS 3 packet driver will search for
the EtherWORKS 3 card and(if successful) load itself as a TSR. Your Packet
Driver application can now be invoked. In rare cases some systems can be
sensitive to this scanning. If so there is an OPTIONAL command for manually
specifying the IOPORT address as follows:
ewrk3 60 i:3a0
Also 2K Memory mode is recommended to provide optimum performance and memory
savings.
Use of multiple cards in a PC are supported. Please note that subsequent card
settings CANNOT match other EtherWORKS 3 cards in your PC. If you are having
problems make sure:
o The Software Interrupt vector does not match one that is
already loaded.
o With the second invocation of the driver you use the i: switch to
specify the IOPORT ADDRESS of the second card.
o That cards are configured such that their configurations do NOT
matches or overlap(IRQ, MEMORY ADDRESS, IOPORT ADDRESS).
Fixes in V1.05:
---------------
- Fix timing issue (upon initial loading of driver) with certain PC's
Previous fixes:
---------------
V1.03 -> Updated EEPROM Timer routine when reading/writing the EEPROM.
V1.02 -> Support for loading multiple copies of the driver on multiple
V1.04 -> Make driver Y2K (year 2000 safe).
Fix bug when in Promiscuous mode.

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.
