SMC9000.DOS Doesn't Activate Megahertz PCMCIA Ethernet Card (122162)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.1
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11
This article was previously published under Q122162 SYMPTOMS
When you load the SMC9000.DOS driver version 1.03 (dated 3/23/94) supplied
with the Megahertz PCMCIA Ethernet card, the driver appears to load
successfully, but it does not activate the PCMCIA card. When the driver
loads, the Link light on the card's transceiver turns off.
CAUSE
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with the version 1.03 of the
SMC9000.DOS driver dated 3/23/94.
NOTE: The OEMSETUP.INF file, supplied with the Megahertz card, loads
the incompatible SMC9000.DOS driver.
RESOLUTION
An updated release of SMC9000.DOS version 1.03 that corrects this problem
is available. The file date is 11/24/93. This updated driver is located in
the \MSLANMAN.DOSDRIVERS\ETHERNET\MEGAHRTZ subdirectory of the Megahertz
driver distribution disk.
IMPORTANT: Neither the 3/23/94 nor the 11/24/93 version of SMC9000.DOS
version 1.03 works correctly if you are using the Phoenix 3.0 card and
socket services in place of the Cardsoft services supplied with the
Megahertz card.
MORE INFORMATION
The Megahertz PCMCIA Ethernet card is identical to the SMC 9000 card. Both
use the SMC9000.DOS Network Device Interface Specification (NDIS) driver.
