1.0 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
	install the provided packet driver without problems.

	The DE-660 Ethernet PC Card Installation diskette contains
	Packet drivers and installation notes for some of the most
	popular operating systems which  support Packet drivers.

	The most important thing to remember when installing the  packet
	driver is the software interrupt vector.  The default interrupt
	vector for 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 section 2.2, "Explanation Of The Required Setup
	Parameters and Options", for information on packet driver
	parameters.

	Since the DE-660 Ethernet PC Card is 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 should
	normally working properly.

3.0 Explanation Of The Required Setup Commands and Parameters
-------------------------------------------------------------

3.1.Two methods available to install Packet driver
------------------------------------------------------------
     Method 1.
     In your CONFIG.SYS file, include the DEVICE command.

	Format:
	DEVICE = DE660PD.SYS [/option] <packet_int_no>


     Method 2.
     Install Packet driver by typing DE660PD at the DOS command prompt.

	Format:
	DE660PD.COM [/option] <packet_int_no>


3.2 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:

       /?		    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.

       /c		    Assign card number for driver.

       /n		    NetWare conversion. Convert 802.3 packets
			    to 8137 packets

How To Update Drivers Manually

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.
