Accton Technology Corporation PACKET DRIVER INSTALLATION ========================== Copyright (c) 1992, 1993 by Accton Technology Corporation. All rights reserved. NWPD.COM is your adapter packet driver. The following describes its command syntax and use. NWPD Command Syntax ------------------- NWPD [-d] [-n] [-w] [-u] [-h] <PD_INT_NO> [IRQ] [IO_BASE] where: [-d] The "-d" option does not start the Ethernet adapter until this packet driver is called first by higher layer programs [-n] The Novell server uses NOVELL ISO-like packet, while the Novell workstation uses the NOVELL 8137 packets. Use this option to convert NOVELL 8137 into NOVELL ISO-like packets, if necessary. [-w] Steve Wallace added a hack to let the packet drivers run under Windows. This is not to be considered as the proper solution, which is to write a TCP/IP package for Windows. This hack is enabled only when you use the '-w' switch. [-u] This option unloads the Packet Driver. [-h] This option displays the on-line help. <PD_INT_NO> This specifies the software interrupt (IRQ) where you'll load the packet driver. It must be in the range 0x60 to 0x80. The PC/TCP kernel, by default, is loaded at interrupt 0x61 (so don't load the packet driver there!) [IRQ] This specifies the hardware interrupt (IRQ) [IO_BASE] This specifies the I/O address. Example 1 --------- Using Accton's EN166x adapter, the following command line loads the Packet Driver at software interrupt 60h, at I/O address 300 and hardware interrupt 3. NWPD 0x60 3 0x300 Since the default I/O address for this adapter is 300 and the default IRQ is 3, the above command may be simplified to: NWPD 0x60 Note ---- Address parameters, such as the software interrupt and I/O address are preceded by "0x". For example, "0x60" and "0x300". Packet Driver Application: Using adapter on PC/TCP Environment -------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Load your Packet Driver. 2. Load the PC/TCP kernel ETHDRV.EXE. See following example: To load the PC/TCP kernel and allocate 8 packet buffers, type the following: ETHDRV -p 8 <Enter> This will increase the number of packet buffers from 5 (default) to 8. 3. You are now ready to run any PC/TCP application, like FTP's telnet. Packet Driver Application: Communicating with NCSA Telnet --------------------------------------------------------- 1. Make sure that you have the correct version of NCSA Telnet for the PC. You need version 2.3 or later to support the packet driver interface. 2. Install the NCSA software onto your system. Refer to the NCSA documentation for detailed instructions. 3. Load the Packet Driver (NWPD 0x60). Refer to the corresponding section for details. 4. Get help or view the Packet Driver's syntax by typing the following command: NWPD -h <Enter> 5. Run the NCSA application that you need. To do this, you need to know the host's IP address. For example, ftp 192.72.24.202. All trademarks or brand names mentioned are properties of their respective owners. ===End===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.
