SMSC cards are shipped with the flash RAM preprogrammed. This procedure is
only needed in case you want to reprogram it.
1. Boot to Dos
2. Plug in the card in the first cardbus slot (0)
3. Enable the card using the bridge.com (dual function enabler) or
smccardb.exe (single function enabler) program.(\DOSODI directory)
4. At this point depending upon the contents of the flash the card may appear
with the modem enabled or not (even if you run smccardb.exe). For the
puposes of programming the flash the modem accesibility is not necessary so
do not worry f if does nos show up.
5. Run DIAG.EXE (\UTIL directory), the opening screen will list all the SMSC
devices found with a device/function number index to their left
6. Select the Ethernet function (the command "D<n>", where n = 0,1,2, etc
index shown in the list displayed in 6, selects which device to use.)
7. Set the ROMWR_EN bit (8) in NVCTL_E register (offset 10h). In order not to
change the NVCTL_E register other bits, before writting to the register you
can see the whole register map of EPIC-C by typing the command "R". You can
write to any register by using the Output commands using the port addres
(base + offset) and data parameters writen in hexadecimal format.
(i.e: "O.W 7010 d337")
8. Similarly, though not always necessary you can assure proper access to the
PCI Extension ROM area (where the Flash resides) by writting to register
30h in PCI configuration space (i.e "WC 30 000D0001")
9. Select the file name you want to write to the flash (this file has to be a
binary image of the contents to be transfered) with the command
"N <filename>"
10. Perform the Flash wrtiting by running the Program flash command "PF"
12. Follow the onscreen instructions to provide the Node address of the board
and finish the programming.
13. You can verify the file was properly written by reading the flash contens
with the command "RO <init> <end>" where init and end are the initial and
ending values of the range to read from the flash.
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.
