   Packet Driver

   Packet Driver Notes for Intel's 
   EtherExpress(TM) PRO/10 LAN Adapter
   ===================================

   Location of Driver:     \PACKET\EPROPKT.COM

   Sample Configuration Files
   --------------------------
      AUTOEXEC.BAT
	 EPROPKT 0x7e
	 PDIPX   < for use with NetWare


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

	 Usage: epropkt [options] <packet_int_no> <hardware_irq> <io_addr>
		
	 Example: EPROPKT -i 0x7e 10 0x320

	 -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
	 -u - Uninstall

	 <packet_int_no>
	 
	 This is the software interrupt used by the packet driver.  It is 
	 the only required parameter.  A packet driver needs to have a 
	 software interrupt assigned to it for other programs to access it.  
	 The recommended interrupt is 0x7e (126).  This interrupt number 
	 can be entered as hexadecimal or decimal.

	 <hardware_irq>
	 
	 This is the IRQ setting for the EtherExpress PRO adapter.  If you 
	 are using a hardware IRQ for the EtherExpress board other than 3, 
	 you will need to add this paramater.  This interrupt number can 
	 be entered as hexadecimal or decimal.

	 <io_addr>
	 
	 This is the I/O address setting for the EtherExpress PRO adapter.  
	 This is an auto sensing packet driver which means it will scan 
	 I/O addresses until it finds the adapter. Therefore, this parameter 
	 is not necessary.  If you do add this parameter, it must be in  
	 hexadecimal format.  For example, io address 320 would be 
	 represented by 0x320.

   Hints and Tips
   --------------

      1. Packet Driver Support:
	 Additional support for the Packet driver (installation, 
	 configuration, bugs, etc.) is provided for a nominal charge by 
	 Crynwr Software. Intel will provide support for any hardware 
	 compatibility related issue via our standard support options.

	    To contact Crynwr Software:

	    Phone:     (315) 268 - 1925.  
	    Fax:       (315) 268 - 9201
	    Internet:  nelson@crynwr.com
	    Address:   Crynwr Software, 11 Grant St., Potsdam, NY 13676

      2. Before contacting Crynwr Software: 
	 Verify that the adapter is working properly via the SoftSet2 
	 utility. The program provides on board and on network diagnostic 
	 tests.

      3. PDIPX info: This driver is an IPX interface that talks to the 
	 Packet Driver.  Use this driver if you want to load the Packet 
	 Driver at boot time and still use Novell services.  There is a
	 PDIPX available on the Intel BBS.  We recommend you use the 
	 PDIPX from our BBS rather than the BYU PDIPX. PDIPX is 
	 configurable using Novell's utility ECONFIG.
