Introduction
------------
Packet drivers are general drivers used by many operating systems,
especially TCP/IP software packages. If the network system that is
installed specifically mentions support for packet drivers, then
it is likely that it will be able to the provided packet driver
without problems.
The most important thing to remember when installing packet drivers
is the software interrupt vector. The default interrupt vector for
the packet drivers is 0x62 hexadecimal. Most network operating
system supporting packet drivers will try to automatically search for
packet drivers already loaded in the computer's memory. However,
some packages will require a provided interrupt vector for the packet
driver. Furthermore, some packages can only work with certain
interrupt vectors. which require a software interrupt vector parameter
when loading. Please see the section at the end of this document for
description on packet driver parameters.
Since the CardBus Fast Ethernet are software configurable, the
packet driver will automatically detect the hardware parameters.
If the packet driver can properly read the adapter's MAC address
during loading, then the hardware is normally working properly.
User's Guide
------------
Two methods available to install Packet driver
Method 1.
In your CONFIG.SYS file, include the DEVICE command.
Format:
DEVICE = CB100PD.SYS [/option] <packet_int_no>
Method 2.
Install Packet driver by typing CB100PD at the DOS command prompt.
Format:
CB100PD.COM [/option] <packet_int_no>
Explanation Of The Required Setup Parameters and Options
Packet Driver
Parameters and Options Description
<packet_int_no> The software interrupt vector number used by
the packet driver program. This can be from
96 to 128.
[/option] Includes the following:
/h Show available parameters
/d Delay Initial - The driver program will not
initialize the network interface card until
the packet driver program is accessed by its
upper layer program.
/w This parameter is only to be used in the
Windows environment.
/u Unload the packet driver.
/n NetWare conversion. Convert 802.3 packets
to 8137 packets
/autosense This is the default setting, Auto detect the speed
and duplex mode.
/line_speed=10/100 Set speed to 10M/100M bps.
/slot=[1~f] Select the slot to work with.
/turbo Disable PCI post write on Intel PCI chipset which
gives the PCI bus higher priority over the other
bus (EISA or ISA)
/tp Force the driver to select Twisted Pair interface.
/tp_full_duplex Select Twisted Pair interface running in full
duplex mode.
/io=[0xd000~0xef80] Select the IO base address.
/int=[1~f] Select the adapter hardware INT number.
Note: 'line_speed' parameter must be used with media selection(/tp or
/tp_full_duplex).Otherwise the driver will work as default setting
'/autosense' enable .
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.
