***************************************************************************** * * * ISA PnP Ethernet Adapter * * * * Ethernet Driver for SCOUNIX * * * * V. 2.72, Jan. 1997 * * * ***************************************************************************** Introduction: ============= The Ethernet Driver for SCOUNIX confirms to the SCOUNIX LLI driver package format. This document shows you how to setup the SCOUNIX driver and how to use the enhanced functions by setting the custom keywords in configuration file. Contents of the Subdirectory: ============================= P916.TAR The SCOUNIX driver installation package in TAR format. SCOUNIX.TXT This file. Installation: ============= Before starting with the installation process, make sure that the adapter is properly installed and configured. You can use the diagnostic program (A:\SETUP.EXE) to make sure your connection with the network is correct. Installation by using SCOUNIX custom utility: --------------------------------------------------------- 1) Make a sub-directory like p916 ex: mkdir p916 cd p916 2) copy scounix\p916.tar to harddisk in UNIX. (Use DOSCP command) ex: doscp -r a:/scounix/p916.tar p916.tar 3) uncompress p916.tar with TAR command. ex: tar xvf p916.tar 4) delete p916.tar ex: rm p916.tar 5) compress extracted files to a formatted floopy ex: tar cvf /dev/rfd0135ds18 . 6) Run CUSTOM utility in UNIX to install driver with this diskette.. ex: custom 7) Run netconfig to configure p916 driver. ex: netconfig NOTE: ----- Multiple Lan Adapters in a system: If you want to install mutiple Lan adapter in your system, you have to use the keyword , Pnpid1, Pnpid2, Pnpid3, Pnpid4 respectively in \etc\conf\pack.d\p9160\space.c file to let driver locate the right adapter. You can run A:\SETUP.EXE under DOS prompt to show all the Ethernet addresses of your adapters. Configuration Files: ==================== File Name: \etc\conf\pack.d\p916?\space.c (?=0,1,2,3) ---------- Sample of configuration file: ----------------------------- ... char *Pnpid1="0"; char *Pnpid2="0"; char *Pnpid3="0"; char *Pnpid4="0"; ... Pnpid1 is the PnP ID of first PnP Ethernet adapter. Pnpid2 is the PnP ID of second PnP Ethernet adapter. Pnpid3 is the PnP ID of third PnP Ethernet adapter. Pnpid4 is the PnP ID of fourth PnP Ethernet adapter. Pnpid value "0" means use the first PnP Ethernet adapter found. So Pnpid2, Pnpid3, Pnpid4 should not have value "0". Custom Keywords: ---------------- Pnpid? = "hhhhhhhhhhhh" This keyword is the Ethernet Address of the adapter you want to drive. If there are more than one ethernet adapters in your system , you have to use this keyword to let driver locate the right adapter. However, you don't have to use this property or let the value to be zero ( i.e. Pnpid1 = " 0 ") if there is only one adapter in your system. Note: For ISA PnP mode, you don't have to define IRQ and IOBASE value when you install your driver, for the driver will ignore these values.
