; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; ; File: PACKET.INI ; ; Configuration parameters file for the Alvarion Wireless IEEE 802.11 ; Packet Driver. The name of this driver is: ALVAR42.COM. ; ; Date: $Date: 20 Nov 2001 14:57:00 $ $Revision: 6.0 $ ; ; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; Wireless specific configuration parameters: ; ; For more information on the configuration parameters, refer to the ; Alvarion User's Guide. ; ; ATTENTION: ; --------- ; Parameter values are case sensitive! ; ;------------------------------------------------------; ; BASIC parameters: ;------------------ ; Wireless_Networkname: 0..32 printable character string. ; This specifies the network this station is to connect to. ; When this parameter is omitted, or is specified as an empty string ; or as "ANY", the station may connect to any network it finds. ; This information should be provided by your network supervisor. Wireless_Networkname = any ; Create_IBSS ; Valid values: Y, N ; Default value: N ; Create_IBSS specifies whether the station must create or connect ; to an IBSS. In IBSS Mode (former AD-Hoc Mode) you must now specify ; an own Wireless_Networkname different to any existing Acesspoint ; Networkname. ;Create_IBSS = N ; Station_Name: 0..32 printable character string. ; Plain-text name of this station. Used for diagnostic purposes. Station_Name = My Notebook ; ADVANCED parameters (specify only when really needed): ; Distance between AP's: decimal value ; Valid values: ; 1 = Large distance, ; 2 = Medium distance, ; 3 = Small distance ; Default value: 1 ; Specifies the distance between the Accesspoints in your network. ; This information should be provided by your network supervisor. ;AP_Distance = 1 ; Microwave_Oven_Robustness ; Valid values: Y, N ; Default: N ; Select Y(es) when there are microwave ovens present in the area where ; you intend to use your PC ;Microwave_Oven_Robustness = N ; Medium_Reservation: decimal value. ; Valid values: 0..2347 ; Default value: 2347 ; Specifies the number of octets in a message or fragment above which a ; RTS/CTS handshake is performed to reserve the medium for the message or ; fragment transmission. Setting the value to 2347 disables this mechanism. ; Medium_Reservation is advised to be used in the following case: ; - Environments with known "hidden" stations, like a (single) cell where ; many stations are located at the periphery at maximum range from the AP. ;Medium_Reservation = 2347 ; MAC_Address: 12 Hex digits. ; Specifies a local MAC address, that will be used instead of the card's ; own universal MAC address. If required, this information should be ; provided by your network supervisor. ;MAC_Address = 02000000cafe ; Card_Power_Management = 1 character ; Valid values: Y, N ; Default value: N ; Card_Power_Management is used to enable or disable the station to use ; Power Management in an ESS. ;Card_Power_Management = N ; Maximum_Sleep_Duration: decimal value ; Valid range: 1 - 65535 ; Default value: 100 ; Maximum_Sleep_Duration specifies the maximum time the station is allowed ; to spend consecutively in DOZE state, used to determine the Listen ; Interval on the station's Power Management scheme. ;Maximum_Sleep_Duration = 100 ; Receive_All_Multicasts: 1 character ; Valid values: Y, N ; Default value: Y ; Receive_All_Multicasts specifies whether the station must receive all ; multicast frames (with addresses specified by the protocol stack) when ; using Power Management. When this is the case, the station will have to ; wake up frequently to receive the multicast frames. This causes less ; optimal power savings. ;Receive_All_Multicasts = Y ; Encryption parameters: (specify only when really needed) ; Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption enables you to encrypt all ; data that will be transmitted via the wireless LAN medium. ; To use WEP encryption within your network all Accesspoint`s and wireless ; stations must be equipped an Wireless PC card, that have been configured ; to use identical encryption keys. ; Up to 4 different keys to decrypt data received via the wireless interface ; can be entered. ; One of these 4 keys can be selected to encrypt wireless data that is to be ; transmitted via the wireless interface. ; ; Note: Enabling WEP encryption on wireless stations does not affect the ; ability of your computer to interpret non-encrypted data traffic: i.e. ; when you enable encryption, your computer will be able to receive both ; encrypted and non-encrypted messages with one of the listed WEP ; Encryption Key Values. ; Enable_Encryption: 1 character ; Valid values: Y, N ; Default value: N ; Enables or disables encryption. ;Enable_Encryption = N ; Key<n>: 5/13 character string or 10/26 digit hex number (n in range 1..4) ; Depending on encryption type, keys are either 40 or 104 bits long. ; 40 bits keys are supported on the Wireless PC Card WEP 64 and WEP 128. ; 104 bits keys are supported on the Wireless PC Card WEP 128 only. ; The keys can be specified in ASCII or in hex. In case the ASCII form is ; used, a key must be either 5 or 13 characters. In case of the hex form, ; a key must start with '0x' followed by 10 or 26 hex digits. Up to 4 keys ; can be specified. When multiple keys are specified, the form as well as ; the length of the keys need not be the same. If the Card does not support ; 104 bits keys, the lenght is truncated to 40 bits without warning. ;Key1 = abcde ;Key2 = 0x123456789a ;Key3 = abcdefghijkl2 ;Key4 = 0x112233445566778899AABBCCDD ; Transmit_Key_ID: decimal value ; Valid values: 1,2,3,4 or E ; Default value: 1 ; If you enable WEP encryption, you can select one key for wireless data ; transmissions from the list of WEP Encryption Key Values or you can also ; use the encryted keyword file 'keyword.dat' by selecting 'E'. ; The keyword file must be generated by the tool 'keyword.exe'. ; The tool safes the key in an encryted form in the file 'keyword.dat'. ; For safty reasons it is recommened to use the setting 'E'. ; ; Transmit_Key_ID = E ; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; Packet Driver specific configuration parameters: ; Driver_Class: 1 or 11, default = 1. ; Specifies the Packet Driver Class, that is reported by the driver in ; response to the driver_info() function. ; This is dependent on the need of your protocol stack. ; Class 1 uses the DIX Ethernet (Ethernet V2.0) frame format. ; Class 11 uses the IEEE 802.3 with 802.2 headers frame format. ;Driver_Class = 11 ; Novell_Flag: Yes/No, default = No. ; "Yes" specifies support for Novell's IPX Ethernet_802.3 frame format. ;Novell_Flag = No ; Packet_Interrupt: 60..70 (hex values), default = 60. ; Specifies the software interrupt for access to this driver. ;Packet_Interrupt = 60Download 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.
