Packet Driver

Introduction:
-------------
This document describes the procedure to setup the Packet driver for
D-Link DFE-528TX 10/100 Adapter.

Location of Driver:     \PKTDRV\DFE528.COM


Notes:
------
1. Load the packet driver using the software interrupt and any
   optional switches if required.

   Usage: DFE528 [options] <software_int_no> [media type]

   Example: DFE528 -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

2. Media type can be used to force the card to work on specific
   speed and duplex mode. If no media type if specified, then
   driver will read hardware configuration from EEPROM on the
   card.

3. Type command, C:\DFE528 0x60, the screen will appear following
   message:

   Packet driver for D-Link DFE-528TX 10/100 Adapter version 3.21
   Copyright 2001, 2002 D-Link Corp. All Rights Reserved.

   Line Speed 100 Mbps
   Half Duplex
   System: [345]86 processor, PCI bus, Two 8259s
   Packet driver software interrupt is 0x60
   Interrupt number is 0xA
   I/O port is 0xE000
   My Ethernet address is 00:50:BA:D0:17:EB

4. Installing Multiple LAN Adapters:

   If there are multiple network cards on the main board, the user
   run DFE528 0x60 directly, then the screen will display :

   Packet driver for D-Link DFE-528TX 10/100 Adapter version 3.21
   Copyright 2001, 2002 D-Link Corp. All Rights Reserved.

   There are 2 network cards on your main board :
   Card 1. SlotNo= 0xA. IRQ= 0xC  I/O= 0xE000  NodeID= 00:50:BA:D0:17:31
   Card 2. SlotNo= 0xB. IRQ= 0xA  I/O= 0xD800  NodeID= 00:50:BA:D0:17:EB
   Please select a Card No.(1-2): 1

   Line Speed 100 Mbps
   Half Duplex
   System: [345]86 processor, PCI bus, Two 8259s
   Packet driver software interrupt is 0x60
   Interrupt number is 0xC
