Packet Driver
Introduction:
-------------
This document describes the procedure to setup the Packet driver for
AOPen AOP-330 10/100Mbps Cardbus Adapter.
Location of Driver: .\PKTDRV\A330.COM
Getting Start:
--------------
1. For the PC that installing EMM386.EXE in the CONFIG.SYS.
Please make sure the memory range D000-D7FF is excluded.
Ex:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D000-D7FF
2. Copy A:\ENABLER\*.* to your hard disk
Ex:
copy A:\ENABLER\*.* C:\ENABLER
3. Add a line
@CALL C:\ENABLER\CBEN.BAT
on the first line of AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
Notes:
------
1. Load the packet driver using the software interrupt and any
optional switches if required.
Usage: A330 [options] <software_int_no> [media type]
Example: A330 -i 0x7e
The only required parameter is the software interrupt. A packet
driver needs to have a software interrupt assigned to it for
other programs to access it. The recommended interrupt 0x7e.
If you need any of the options listed below, place them before
the software interrupt on the command line.
-i - Force driver to report itself as 802.3 instead of
Ethernet II.
-d - Delayed initialization. Used for diskless booting
-n - NetWare conversion. Converts 802.3 packets into 8137 packets
-w - Windows hack, obsoleted by winpkt
-p - Promiscuous mode disable
-h - Help
-u - Uninstall
2. Media type can be used to force the card to work on specific
speed and duplex mode. If no media type if specified, then
driver will read hardware configuration from EEPROM on the
card.
3. Type command, C:\A330 0x60, the screen will appear following
message:
