Introduction
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
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 LanModem 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.

<packet_int_no> is the software interrupt vector number used by the
packet driver program. Options include: 96 to 128.
<int> is the hardware interrupt used by the card. this should match
the PCMCIA drivers interrupt selection for the card. Options
include: 3,4,5,7,9,10,11,12 or 15.
<i/o address> is the hardware i/o address used by the card. This

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.
