README File
This driver is written based on the document of PC/TCP packet driver
specification released by FTP Software, Inc. In this readme file we
will tell you how to install your driver to drive your network interface
card(NIC2000).
To install the driver, just key in the command line in the format as
shown below:
pkt2000 0x<parameter1> 0x<parameter2> 0x<parameter3>
where
<parameter1> is the driver software interrupt number
<parameter2> is the IRQ level of the network interface card
<parameter3> is the I/O base of the network interface card
and ALL THREE PARAMETERS ARE IN HEXADECIMAL
Note1: the default value for I/O base is 300
the default value for IRQ level is 3
thus, if you choose the default values, the last two
parameters can be skipped.
Note2: the NIC2000 card supplies eight possible IRQ levels which
are level 3,4,5,9,10,11,12 and 15.
Note3: since the parameters are in hexadecimal, we should pay more
attention when we choose IRQ level 10 or above.
The following table is the IRQ level and its corresponding
hexadecimal expression.
_IRQ_level___|___hexadecimal expression_
______3______|_______3__________________
______4______|_______4__________________
______5______|_______5__________________
______9______|_______9__________________
_____10______|_______a__________________
_____11______|_______b__________________
_____12______|_______c__________________
_____15______|_______f__________________
For example:
if you choose S/W int=6f, IRQ level=5, I/O base=320,
just key in
pkt2000 0x6f 0x5 0x320
if you choose S/W int=6f, IRQ level=12, I/O base=320,
just key in
pkt2000 0x6f 0xc 0x320
if you choose S/W int=6f and use the default IRQ and default
I/O base, just key in
pkt2000 0x6f
After installation, "install finished" will be shown on the screen
If any error messages or warnning statements are shown, just check
two things:
* Is there any error in your command line such as format error
or values not allowed ?
* Are the IRQ and I/O base values the same as the jumper setting
on your NIC2000 card ?
