			 SN2000 Series Ethernet Card
			    Packet Driver Program
			=============================


*****************************
* General Installation Tips *
*****************************

Packet drivers are general drivers used by many operating systems specially
TCP/IP software packages.  If the network system that you are installing
specifically mentions support for packet drivers, then it is most likely that
you will be able to use our provided packet driver without any problems.

The most important thing to remember when installing packet drivers is the
software interrupt vector.  The default interrupt vector for SN2000 packet
drivers is 0x62 hexadecimal.  Most softwares supporting packet drivers will
try to automatically search for any packet drivers already loaded into the
computer's memory.  However, some software packages will require you to
provide the interrupt vector of the packet driver.  Futhermore, some software
packages can only work with certain interrupt vectors.	With these software
packages, you have to add a software interrupt vector parameter when loading
the packet driver.  Please look towards the end of this document for
explanation on packet driver parameters.

Since the SN2000P Family Ethernet adapters are all software configurable,
the packet driver will automatically detect the hardware parameters.  If the
packet driver can properly read the Ethernet card's MAC address during
loading, then chances are the hardware is working properly.

This driver diskette contains specific installation instructions for the
following software packages:

Notes:

<packet_int_no> is the software interrupt vector number used by the
		packet driver program, which can be from 96 to 128.

[/option]	Can be one of the following:

/?		Show available parameters
/d		Delay Initial - The driver program will not initialize
		the network interface card until the packet driver program
		is accessed by its upper layer program first time.
/w		The -w parameter is for use with the Windows environment only.
/u		Unload the packet driver.
/c		Assign card number for driver.
/n		NetWare conversion. Convert 802.3 packets into 8137 packets.
/auto		Automactically detect connected media.
		*This is default setting for media.
/utp		Switch media type to Twisted pair.
/bnc		Switch media type to BNC.
/aui		Switch media type to AUI.					  card,
		*If the assigned media type does not exist on the found card,
		driver will automatically detect connected media.		 o
/sa		Search all SN2000/P Family Ethernet card. If there are two	   river
		(or more) SN2000/P Family Ethernet cards in the system, driver
		will ask you to select one card to work with.			 rd.
		*The default setting is to work with the first found card.
