Packet Driver
Introduction:
-------------
This document describes the procedure to setup the Packet driver for
REALTEK RTS8139 PCI ethernet card.
Location of Driver: \RTSPKT\RTSPKT.COM
Sample Configuration Files:
---------------------------
AUTOEXEC.BAT
RTSPKT 0x60
Notes:
------
1. Load the packet driver using the software interrupt and any
optional switches if required.
Usage: RTSPKT [options] <software_int_no>
Example: RTSPKT -i 0x7e
The only required parameter is the software interrupt. A packet
driver needs to have a software interrupt assigned to it for other
programs to access it. The recommended interrupt 0x7e. If you need
any of the options listed below, place them before the software
interrupt on the command line.
-i - Force driver to report itself as 802.3 instead of Ethernet II.
-d - Delayed initialization. Used for diskless booting
-n - NetWare conversion. Converts 802.3 packets into 8137 packets
-w - Windows hack, obsoleted by winpkt
-p - Promiscuous mode disable
-h - Help
-u - Uninstall
-f - Line Speed = Fast ehternet 100Mbps
-e - Line Speed = Ethernet 10Mbps
3. Type command,C:\RTSPKT 0x60, the screen will appear following
message:
System: [345]86 processor, PCI bus, Two 8259s
Packet driver software interrupt is 0x60
Interrupt number is 0x9
I/O port is 0x6100
My Ethernet address is 52:54:4C:29:29:AD
4. Installing Multiple LAN Adapters:
If there are multiple network cards on the main board. the user
run RTSPKT 0x60 directly, then the screen will display :
Packet driver for RTS8139, PCI version 1.00

There are 2 network cards on your main board :
Card 1. IRQ= 0x9 I/O= 0x6100 NodeID= 52:54:4C:29:29:AD
Card 2. IRQ= 0xA I/O= 0x6000 NodeID= 52:54:4C:29:29:64
Please select a Card No.(1-2): 1
System: [345]86 processor, PCI bus, Two 8259s
Packet driver software interrupt is 0x60
Interrupt number is 0x9
I/O port is 0x6100
My Ethernet address is 52:54:4C:29:29:AD
