1. Introduction:

	This program, E32INIT.EXE, is an initialization program for ENW-8300
	PCI adapter.  It can initialize the adapter to be compatible with
	NE2000 drivers.


2. How to use the program:

   2.1	Device Driver
	Include the following into your CONFIG.SYS:

	USAGE:
	      DEVICE	  = E32INIT.EXE IO=xxxxh, IDX=x
	or    DEVICEHIGHT = E32INIT.EXE IO=xxxxh, IDX=x

   2.2	Running the following in DOS command prompt:

	USAGE:
	      C:> E32INIT IO=xxxxh, IDX=x
	or	  E32INIT ?	(show help message)



  Note:
  -----
    IO:   assigning the I/O ports base address for your LAN adapter, it need 32
	  contiguous ports for working properly.  Make sure the LAN adapter
	  I/O ports do not conflict with other devices in your machine.
	  If you do not specify the I/O, the E32INIT will use the address
	  assigned by PCI BIOS as its I/O port BASE address.

    IDX:  It specifies which LAN adapter card is initialized.  You should
	  use this parameter when you have more than one 32-bit adapter
	  in your PC.

   2.3	Example:
		DEVICE = E32INIT.EXE
		DEVICE = E32INIT.EXE IO=300h
		DEVICE = E32INIT.EXE IDX=0
		DEVICE = E32INIT.EXE IO=D020h IDX=1

		C:\> E32INIT
		C:\> E32INIT IO=240h
		C:\> E32INIT IO=F060h IDX=0

   2.4	When the E32INIT is excuting, the screen displays the adapter's I/O
	port address, IRQ number and Ethernet address.	All of the above
	information is required for running NE2000 driver. (!! You must
	specify the I/O BASE and INTERRUPT values in the PROTOCOL.INI
	as running NE2000 NDIS2/DOS driver)


3. Running NE2000 DOS/ODI driver:

   Example:	C:\> E32INIT IO=300h
		C:\> LSL
		C:\> NE2000
		C:\> IPXODI
		C:\> VLM

   NET.CFG:
   --------
		      .
		      .
		      .
		LINK DRIVER NE2000
		     Port  300
		     IRQ   11
		      .
		      .

   Port and IRQ values will be displayed after execute the E32INIT.EXE!!


4. Running NE2000 NDIS/DOS driver:

   CONFIG.SYS
   ----------
		      .
		      .
		      .
	     DEVICE=C:\LSP\E32INIT.EXE IO=D000h IDX=0
	     DEVICE=C:\LSP\PROTMAN.DOS /i:C:\LSP
	     DEVICE=C:\LSP\NE2000.DOS
		      .
		      .
		      .


   PROTOCOL.INI
   ------------
		      .
		      .
		      .
	     [NE2000_NIF]
		DRIVERNAME = MS2000$
		IOBASE	   = 0xD000
		INTERRUPT  = 9
