Packet Driver Introduction: ------------- This document describes the procedure to setup the Packet driver for REALTEK RTL8029 PCI ethernet card. Location of Driver: \PKTDRV\PCIPKT.COM Sample Configuration Files: --------------------------- AUTOEXEC.BAT PCIPKT 0x60 Notes: ------ 1. Load the packet driver using the software interrupt and any optional switches if required. Usage: PCIPKT [options] Example: PCIPKT -i 0x7e The only required parameter is the software interrupt. A packet driver needs to have a software interrupt assigned to it for other programs to access it. The recommended interrupt 0x7e. If you need any of the options listed below, place them before the software interrupt on the command line. -i - Force driver to report itself as 802.3 instead of Ethernet II. -d - Delayed initialization. Used for diskless booting -n - NetWare conversion. Converts 802.3 packets into 8137 packets -w - Windows hack, obsoleted by winpkt -p - Promiscuous mode disable -h - Help -u - Uninstall 3. Type command,C:\PCIPKT 0x60, the screen will appear following message: System: [345]86 processor, PCI bus, Two 8259s Packet driver software interrupt is 0x60 Interrupt number is 0x9 I/O port is 0x6100 My Ethernet address is 52:54:4C:29:29:AD 4. Installing Multiple LAN Adapters: If there are multiple network cards on the main board. the user run PCIPKT 0x60 directly, then the screen will display : Packet driver for RTL8029, PCI version 1.00 Copyright 1995 (c), Realtek Semiconductor Inc. There are 2 network cards on your main board : Card 1. IRQ= 0x9 I/O= 0x6100 NodeID= 52:54:4C:29:29:AD Card 2. IRQ= 0xA I/O= 0x6000 NodeID= 52:54:4C:29:29:64 Please select a Card No.(1-2): 1 System: [345]86 processor, PCI bus, Two 8259s Packet driver software interrupt is 0x60 Interrupt number is 0x9 I/O port is 0x6100 My Ethernet address is 52:54:4C:29:29:AD
