Behaviour of Cards Under Multicast ================================== This is how they currently behave, not what the hardware can do--for example, the Lance driver doesn't use its filter, even though the code for loading it is in the DEC Lance-based driver. The following are requirements for multicasting ----------------------------------------------- AppleTalk Multicast hardware filtering not important but avoid cards only doing promisc IP-Multicast Multicast hardware filters really help IP-MRoute AllMulti hardware filters are of no help Board Multicast AllMulti Promisc Filter ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3c501 YES YES YES Software 3c503 YES YES YES Hardware 3c505 YES NO YES Hardware 3c507 NO NO NO N/A 3c509 YES YES YES Software 3c59x YES YES YES Software ac3200 YES YES YES Hardware apricot YES PROMISC YES Hardware arcnet NO NO NO N/A at1700 PROMISC PROMISC YES Software atp PROMISC PROMISC YES Software cs89x0 YES YES YES Software de4x5 YES YES YES Hardware de600 NO NO NO N/A de620 PROMISC PROMISC YES Software depca YES PROMISC YES Hardware dmfe YES YES YES Software(*) e2100 YES YES YES Hardware eepro YES PROMISC YES Hardware eexpress NO NO NO N/A ewrk3 YES PROMISC YES Hardware hp-plus YES YES YES Hardware hp YES YES YES Hardware hp100 YES YES YES Hardware ibmtr NO NO NO N/A ioc3-eth YES YES YES Hardware lance YES YES YES Software(#) ne YES YES YES Hardware ni52 <------------------ Buggy ------------------> ni65 YES YES YES Software(#) seeq NO NO NO N/A sgiseek <------------------ Buggy ------------------> sk_g16 NO NO YES N/A smc-ultra YES YES YES Hardware sunlance YES YES YES Hardware tulip YES YES YES Hardware wavelan YES PROMISC YES Hardware wd YES YES YES Hardware xirc2ps_cs YES YES YES Hardware znet YES YES YES Software PROMISC = This multicast mode is in fact promiscuous mode. Avoid using cards who go PROMISC on any multicast in a multicast kernel. (#) = Hardware multicast support is not used yet. (*) = Hardware support for Davicom 9132 chipset only.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.
