I.  Special Considerations
==========================

For the entire packet driver collection, along with the 
exact details of the copyright (COPYING.DOC), see 
HOWTOGET.IT for availability.

For the copyright, see COPYING.DOC.  In part it says that: 
Anyone with a copy of the drivers may give it away, and the 
source code for all modules must be available.

NO WARRANTY, see COPYING.DOC, but support for packet 
drivers is available, see SUPPORT.DOC.

II.  Installation
=================

The AT2450 packet driver requires at least one parameter, 
the software interrupt. A packet driver needs to have a 
software interrupt assigned to it for other programs to 
access it.  I recommend 0x7e. i.e.:

    AT2450 INT=0x7e

Available packet driver command line parameters are:

AT2450 [-n] [-d] [-w] <INT=packet_int_no> [IOADDR=io_addr] 
[BUSTYPE=bus]

Where:

[-n] The -n option converts Ethernet type 8137 and Novell 
     PSO-like packets.

[-d] The -d option delays initialization. The -d option 
     will keep the initialization code after loading. This 
     is required for boot ROM support.

[-w] The -w switch is used for Windows. Install the Packet 
     Driver before running MS-Windows. Also reference the 
     Public Domain Utility for enhanced mode applications.

<INT=packet_int_no> is required and indicates the software 
     interrupt vector of a particular AT-2450.    

[IOADDR=io_addr] indicates the port address of a particular 
     AT-2450. Required if 2 or more AT-2450 network 
     adapters are installed.

[BUSTYPE=bus] Optional parameter to indicate what 
     bus type is to be scanned by the driver when looking 
     for the AT-2450. Legal parameters are: PCI, PCI1, or 
     PCI2

Notes: If more than one AT-2450 are to use a packet driver 
       each packet driver should have different software 
       interrupt and I/O address.

All parameters must be specified in C-style representation. 
Decimal is expressed as 11, hexadecimal is expressed as 
0x0B, octal is expressed as 013.  Any numbers that the 
packet driver prints will be in the same notation.
