Introduction:
=============

  This document shows you how to install Windows for Workgroup 3.1 NDIS driver
  and how to use the enhanced functions by setting the custom keywords.


Contents of the Subdirectory:
=============================

    WFW31.TXT           This file.
    OEMSETUP.INF        The setup information file for WFW31.
    PCIND.DOS           The NDIS2 driver.



Installation:
=============

  Before starting with the installation process, make sure that the adapter
  is properly installed and configured. You can use the diagnostic program
  (A:\SETUP.EXE) to make sure your connection with the network is correct.

  Setup Procedure:
  ----------------

    1) Start the Windows for Workgroup 3.1.

    2) Click the "Control Panel" icon in the Program Manager Window.

    3) Click the "Network" icon in the Network Window.

    4) When the "Network Settings" dialog box appears, select "Adapters" button.

    5) Select "Add" icon from the "Network Adapters" dialog box.

    6) Select "Unlisted or Updated Network Adapter".

    7) When the "Install Driver" window appears, insert the distribution
       diskette into drive A:, type "A:\WFW31" and press <Enter>.

    8) Press <Enter> to select "PCI Ethernet NE2000 Driver".

    9) Click "Setup..." to popup the setup window.

   10) If the adapter is in Jumperless mode, modify the IO Base and Interrupt
       to match the adapter's hardware setting. If the adapter is in PCI mode,
       just leave the values unchanged.

   11) Click "Advanced..." if you want to modify the advanced features.
       Please refer to the next section for the description of the keywords.

   12) Close each windows and restart the computer.


Configuration Files:
====================

    There are two ways to modify the configuration:
    a) Follow step 10/11 in the previous section.
    b) Modify PROTOCOL.INI in your WFW31 directory directly.

    File Name:          PROTOCOL.INI
    ----------
    Sample of configuration file:
    -----------------------------

        ...
        [PCIND]
        drivername=pcind$
        IOBASE=0x300
        INTERRUPT=5
        EARLYRECEIVE=0
        EARLYTRANSMIT=0
        FULLDUPLEX=0
        PCIID=0
        [PCIND]
        drivername=pcind2$
        IOBASE=0x320
        INTERRUPT=9
        EARLYRECEIVE=0
        EARLYTRANSMIT=0
        FULLDUPLEX=0
        PCIID=0
        ...


    Custom Keywords:
    ----------------
        PCIID="hhhhhhhhhhhh"            This keyword is the Ethernet Address of
                                        the adapter you want to drive. If there
                                        are more than one ethernet adapters in
                                        your system, you have to use this
                                        keyword to let driver locate the right
                                        adapter.
                                        However, you don't have to use
                                        this property or let the value to be
                                        zero (i.e. PCIID=0) if there is only
                                        one adapter in your system.

                                        Note: Please remember to enter the
                                              double quotes.

        EARLYTRANSMIT                   This keyword is used to enable turbo
                                        transmission mode for accelerating data
                                        transmission.

        EARLYRECEIVE                    This keyword is used to enable turbo
                                        transmission mode for accelerating data
                                        receiption.

        FULLDUPLEX                      This keyword is used to enable full
                                        duplex mode.

  NOTE:
  -----
    Multiple Lan Adapters in a system:
      If you want to install mutiple Lan adapter in your system, you have to
      use the keyword, PCIID, to let driver locate the right adapter.
      And you must set DriverName to be PCIND$ and PCIND2$ for two different
      adapters.
      You can use the diagnostic program (A:\SETUP.EXE) under DOS prompt
      to show all the Ethernet addresses of your adapters.
