Driver Installation Guide for Packet Driver Requester
==========================================================
Introduction
============
This document describes the procedure to setup the Packet Driver for
AEF-360TX Family PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter.
Location of Driver: \PKTDRVR\RTSPKT.COM
Installation Procedure
======================
1. Load the packet driver using the software interrupt and any
optional switches if required.
Usage: RTSPKT [options] <software_int_no> [media type]
Example: RTSPKT -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 . The hardware
configuration can be modified by running
'rset8139' on driver disk.
3. Type command , C:\RTSPKT 0x60 , the screen will appear following
message:
System: [345]86 processor, PCI bus, Two 8259s
Packet driver software interrupt is 0x60
Interrupt number is 0x9
I/O port is 0x6100
My Ethernet address is 52:54:4C:29:29:AD
4. Installing Multiple LAN Adapters:
If there are multiple network cards on the main board.the user run
RTSPKT 0x60 directly, then the screen will display :
There are 2 network cards on your main board :
Card 1. IRQ= 0x9 I/O= 0x6100 NodeID= 52:54:4C:29:29:AD
Card 2. IRQ= 0xA I/O= 0x6000 NodeID= 52:54:4C:29:29:64
Please select a Card No.(1-2): 1
System: [345]86 processor, PCI bus, Two 8259s
Packet driver software interrupt is 0x60
Interrupt number is 0x9
I/O port is 0x6100
My Ethernet address is 52:54:4C:29:29:AD
5. Installing multiple drivers:
If you want to install multiple cards each connecting to different
network, you have to install the driver multiple times, each with
different packet interrupt number. Then modify 'ioaddr' variable
in 'config.tel' to specify the packet inetrrupt you will use.
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.
