 Introduction
 컴컴컴컴컴컴
    Packet drivers are general drivers used by many operating systems,
    especially TCP/IP software packages.  If the network system that is
    installed specifically mentions support for packet drivers, then
    it is likely that it will be able to the provided packet driver
    without problems.

    The most important thing to remember when installing packet drivers
    is the software interrupt vector.  The default interrupt vector for
    D-Link packet drivers is 0x62 hexadecimal.  Most network operating
    system supporting packet drivers will try to automatically search for
    packet drivers already loaded in the computer's memory.  However,
    some packages will require a provided interrupt vector for the packet
    driver.  Furthermore, some packages can only work with certain
    interrupt vectors. which require a software interrupt vector parameter
    when loading.  Please see the section at the end of this document for
    description on packet driver parameters.

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

    Packet Driver Parameters:


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

                        Note: <packet_int_no> can be hex or decimal number.
                              hex - start with '0x'.            ex:>dlkpci 0x62
                              dec - start with nonzero digit.   ex:>dlkpci 98

        </slot=##>      is the number of assigned slot,which is from 1 to f.

                        Note: '##' can be hex number only.
                              ex:>dlkpci /slot=1
                                 >dlkpci /slot=2
                                 >dlkpci /slot=f

        </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>            is to unload the driver program from memory. 
                        The program will automatically search for Packet 
                        driver to unload.

        </n>            NetWare conversion

        </turbo>        Disable PCI post write in Intel PCI chipset which
                        gives the PCI bus higher priority over the other
                        buses (EISA or ISA).

     To select media type, you can use :

        </autosense>    this is the default setting. It let you able to 
                        change media without restart the driver.

        </tp>           Force the driver to select Twisted Pair interface.

        </bnc>          Force the driver to select BNC interface.

        </tp_full_duplex>
                        Select Twisted Pair interface running in full duplex 
                        mode.

        </tp_no_link_test>
                        Select Twisted Pair interface. Transmit does not 
                        perform link pulses test.

     To select line speed, you can use :

        </line_speed=###>
                        Select Line Speed. Which can be 10 or 100 
                        (10MB or 100MB).


     Note: In DFE-500TX adapter, 'line_speed' parameter must be used with 
           media selection (/tp or /tp_full_duplex). Ortherwise the driver 
           does not know which media (half duplex or full duplex) to work 
           with.
