PCnet Family Network Driver Installation Guide
15.2.
Driver Installation From The Command Line Prompt
Source and executable code for the DOS version of the packet driver is provided.
A number of other utilities (including source) which run above the packet driver
are also provided, as well as a number of documentation files.
It is recommended that you read all of the information available. The most
important file to start reading is
install.doc.
Utilities are also described in this
file.
Copy the AMD Packet driver (PCNTPK.COM) into a directory. The packet driver
can be loaded from the DOS prompt or from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
The command line format for the packet driver is:
PCNTPK [-n] [-d] [-w] <INT=packet_int_no> [IRQ=int_no]
[IOADDR=io_addr] [DMA=dma_no] [BUSTYPE=bus]
[DMAROTATE] [TP] [LED0=xx] [LED1=xx] [LED2=xx]
[LED3=xx] [FDUP=xx]
When using Windows, use either the -w option or the WINPKT Utility (see
install.doc
). If the [IRQ=int_no], [IOADDR=io_addr], and [DMA=dma_no] are
not specified for the PCnet-ISA adapter card, the default values are assumed by
the packet driver.
Note:
The following
:
INT=packet_int_no
is a handle for an upper layer interface (normally 0x60-66). This is not optional. An upper
layer application such as TCP scans for the INT handle between 0x60-66.
Additional common keywords may be specified. Please refer to the
