                  Packet Drivers Installation Overview
                  ------------------------------------

  Introduction
  ------------
  Packet drivers are general drivers used by many operating systems,
  especially TCP/IP software packages.  If the network operating system
  that is installed specifically mentions support for packet drivers,
  it is likely that the software will be able to work with the packet
  driver supplied with the Drivers and Diganostics disk.

  The most important thing to remember when installing packet drivers
  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 the section at the end of this document for
  description on packet driver parameters.

  Since the NETGEAR EA201 Ethernet Card 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, the hardware is normally working properly.

    EA201.COM [/option] <packet_int_no>


  Packet Driver Parameters:
  -------------------------

  <packet_int_no>   software interrupt vector number used by the
                    packet driver program, which can be from 96 to 128.

                    Note: <packet_int_no> can be a hex-decimal or a
                    decimal number.
                    hex - start with '0x'.           eg. > EA201.COM 0x62
                    dec - start with nonzero digit.  eg. > EA201.COM 98

  [/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              The /w parameter is for use only in the
                  Windows environment.

  /u              Unload the packet driver.

  /n              NetWare conversion. Convert 802.3 packets to
                  8137 packets.

  /auto           Automatically detect connected media.
                  * This is the default setting for media type.

  /utp            Switch media type to UTP.

  /sa             Search all EA201 Ethernet adapters. If there
                  is more than one Ethernet card in the system,
                  the driver will ask you to select which card
                  to work with.
                  * The default setting is to work with the
                  first adapter detected.


  Note:  Use the included SETUP.EXE in the root directory to change
         the duplex mode if desired.  For more detail information, please
         refer to the SETUP.TXT file in the \HELP directory.
