README.TXT ========== AMD PCnet-Home Software NDIS 3 Driver Version 1.08.007 NDIS 4 Driver Version 1.08.007 NDIS 5 Driver Version 1.08.007 Release Date March 9, 2000 PLATFORMS SUPPORTED BY DEVICE DRIVERS ===================================== Windows 95 (all versions) Windows 98 and above Windows 2000 Windows NT 3.51 and above WHAT'S NEW IN NDIS 5 driver version 1.08.007 ========================================================= The following changes have been made to the NDIS 3, NDIS 4 and NDIS 5 drivers since the previosuly released driver versions (v1.06) included with the PCnet-Home Software v2.0 Release. All of these changes were made for supporting the Win 98 SE and Win 2000 operating system requirements and driver issues pertaining to those platforms. Specifically, changes were required in the NDIS 5 device driver. However, the NDIS 4 and NDIS 3 drivers were required to be updated as well because these drivers share the same source base with the NDIS 5 driver. 1. Modified VendorString to be read from the registry to ensure that INF string matches the driver string (Microsoft requirement) 2. Added write to BCR49 just before entering D3 to ensure that the last active phy is the one that asserts PME for wakeup. Required for NDIS 2m_media test to pass with 10 base-T media. 3. Added code to start phy auto-negotiation before entering D3. 4. Added Phy reset when transitioning to D1. 5. Added delay after phy reset in LanceSetInformation() when transitioning from D1 to D3. Moved Phy init routine prototypes to LANCESFT.H because they are now also called from REQUEST.C 6. Added code to reset phy when going from D3 to D1 only when SFEX (10 Mbit internal) phy is selected.Download Driver Pack
