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.
