_______________________________________________________________________________
1. General Information
The Wake On LAN 10/100 Fast Ethernet PCI adapter's packet driver file,
SIS7016.EXE, is located in the \PKTDRVR directory on the adapter
Installation diskette.The SIS7016 packet driver complies to FTP Software's
Revision 1.09 packet driver specifications.
Before installing the packet driver, install the adapter in a
PCI slot in your PC.
If you are using multiple adapters in the same PC, you will need
to specify the PCI slot number of the adapter that you want to
use with the packet driver when you load the packet driver.
2. Command Line Options
=======================
The packet driver recognizes the command line options described below. Note
that when multiple adapters are installed in a PC, the -s option
(for PCI) is required. Otherwise, there is no need to specify any other
options.
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| NOTE: For all the command line options that require a value to be |
| specified, you must put a space between the command line option and |
| the value. For example: |
| SIS7016 -s 3 -n 0x65 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
-h Displays the command line usage message.
-n int Sets the packet driver's software interrupt to "int".
The valid range is from 0x60 to 0x80 (as stated in the
packet driver specifications). If not specified, the
default is 0x60.
-t Terminates the packet driver and frees the memory
occupied by the driver.
-p port Sets the I/O port address to "port". The default I/O port
address is the one determined by the PCI BIOS for this adapter.
If the port address is entered incorrectly, the driver will
not load and will print an error message.
For PCI adapters, use the -s option instead.
-i irq Sets the adapter IRQ to "irq". The default IRQ is the
one determined by the PCI BIOS for this adapter. This option is
not required since the driver can determine the IRQ from the
PCI BIOS.
-s slot Sets the adapter slot location to "slot". Use this option
only if installing multiple adapters in one PC.
-c type Sets the type of cable connection (media type) according to
the value of "type." The valid "type" values are:
Type Ethernet Standard Duplex Cable
---- ----------------- ------ -----
0x01 auto-detect Full/Half any below
0x02 10BASE-5 Half AUI/thick coax.
0x04 10BASE-2 Half BNC/thin coax.
0x08 10BASE-T Half Unshielded twisted pair
0x10 10BASE-T Full Unshielded twisted pair
0x20 100BASE-T Half Category 5 twisted pair
0x40 100BASE-T Full Category 5 twisted pair
0x80 T4 Half TBD
0x100 MII Full/Half TBD
0x200 any twisted pair Full/Half required twisted pair
You are not required to specify the media type, because
the driver detects the media type and displays an
appropriate message while loading.
-txq pkts Sets the size of the transmit packet queue to "pkts".
The default value is 3. The maximum value is 8.
2.1. Command Line Option Examples
---------------------------------
SIS7016
Loads the packet driver using the configured I/O port address,
IRQ, and media type. The driver is installed at software
interrupt 0x60.
SIS7016 -s 2 -n 0x65
Loads the packet driver for PCI slot 2 using a software interrupt
of 0x65 (the software interrupt is 0x60 by default). If an IRQ setting
is specified by using "-i irq" and the IRQ value is not correct,
the driver will not load and will print an error message.
SIS7016 -t
Terminate the packet driver at software interrupt 0x60.

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.
