Installing the Packet Driver
The AMD Packet driver for the PCnet architecture (backward compatible to the
Am2100/Am1500T) is based on the packet driver from Clarkson University.

Driver Installation Using The AMINSTAL Utility
Follow the steps listed below:
__1
Run the AMINSTAL Utility to configure your PCnet adapter card鈥檚 I/O base
address, IRQ channel, and DMA channel.
See the AMINSTAL Utility section for more information on
configuring your PCnet adapter card.
Once you have completed the configuration of your PCnet adapter card
using AMINSTAL, go to step 2 below to continue.
__2
Select the Continue button in the Configuration dialog box. The
Installation dialog box will appear.
Select the desired PCnet adapter card by highlighting it in the top of the
dialog box.
Highlight the Packet driver to install the driver. Change the default path
if necessary. The default directory is:
C:\PKTDRV
.
Press the Continue button to complete the installation. AMINSTAL will
copy the selected driver file into the specified directory and create a sample
AUTOEXEC.NET file in the specified directory.
The AUTOEXEC.NET file contains the following:
PCNTPK INT=0x60 IOADDRESS=<ioaddress> IRQ=<irq> DMA=<dma>
Note:
The Packet driver uses a software interrupt to provide a handle for a TCP driver to
automatically scan. The software interrupt range is 0x60-66. The AMINSTAL utility
uses a default value for INT of 0x60. If there is a conflict with other software
settings, please change this setting by editing the AUTOEXEC.NET file.

Exit AMINSTAL when the installation has been completed. The user may
need to make modifications to the system files, using the AMD sample files
as reference.
The installation of the Packet driver is now complete.
