1.0 Introduction
-----------------
Packet drivers are general drivers used by many operating systems,
especially TCP/IP software packages. If the network system that
is installed specifically mentions support for packet drivers,
it is likely that it will be able to the provided packet driver
without problems.
The most important thing to remember when installing packet driver
is the software interrupt vector. The default interrupt vector for
D-Link DFE-670TXD Fast Ethernet PC Card packet drivers is 0x62
hexadecimal.
Most network operating system supporting packet drivers will try to
automatically search for packet drivers already loaded in the
computer's memory. However, some packages will require a provided
interrupt vector for the packet driver. Furthermore, some packages
can only work with certain interrupt vectors, which require a
software interrupt vector parameter when loading. Please see the
section at the end of this document for description on packet driver
parameters.
Since the D-Link DFE-670TXD Fast Ethernet PC Card is software
configurable, the packet driver will automatically detect the
hardware parameters.
If the packet driver can properly read the adapter's MAC address
during loading, then the hardware is normally working properly.

DFE670PD.COM [-option] <packet_int_no> <irq> <iobase> <slot_no>
Packet Driver Parameters:
<packet_int_no> is the software interrupt vector number used by the
packet driver program. This can be from 96 to 128.
[-option] includes the following:
-? Show available parameters.
-d Delay Initial - The driver program will not
initialize the network interface card until the
packet driver program is accessed by its upper
layer program.
-u Unload the packet driver.
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.
