   1. Enable the PCMCIA Fast Ethernet Card

      ECARD.EXE is the adapter MS-DOS enabler program. You have to
      run ECARD.EXE to enable the adapter before bringing up
      the packet driver.

      The syntax for ECARD is:

         ECARD [/IRQ=x] [/MEM=mm] [/IO=nnn] [/O] [/?]

         Valid options:
                x = Interrupt number (3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 12, 15).
               mm = Hex memory location (e.g. C0, C8, D0, D8).
              nnn = IO range (300, 320, 340, 360).
               /O (overwrites current socket settings).
               /? Displays this screen.

         The default value for IRQ is 3.  The default value for IO is 0x300.

         Example:  The following command enables adapter with IRQ 5 and
                   I/O port address 300:

            ECARD /IRQ=5 /IO=300

      If you installed EMM386.EXE in CONFIG.SYS, please exclude memory
      address range D000-DFFF or D400-D7FF from EMM386.EXE.  ECARD.EXE
      uses this space to read configuration information from the adapter.

        [Example]
           DEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D000-DFFF


   2. Load the DOS Packet Driver TC5299

      TC5299 syntax:

        TC5299 [-u] [-a] [-media] <PACKET_INT_NO> <INT_LEVEL> <IO_ADDR>
            Where:
            u             -- Unstall the driver.
            a             -- Enable Auto-Negotiation Mode.
            media         -- To set LineSpeed and Duplex.
                  The vaild setting is 10half, 10full, 100half or 100full.
                  10half  -- Forced to 10M, HalfDuplex Mode
                  10full  -- Forced to 10M, FullDuplex Mode
                  100half -- Forced to 100M, HalfDuplex Mode
                  100full -- Forced to 100M, FullDuplex Mode
            PACKET_INT_NO -- Packet driver interrupt vector.
            The reasonable rabge is 0x60 to 0x80
            INT_LEVEL     -- Hardware interrupt number.
            IO_ADDR       -- I/O Port Address.

  The only required parameter is the packet driver interrupt.  A packet
  driver needs to have a software interrupt assigned to it for other
  programs to access it.


        PACKET_INT_NO    This parameter specifies the software interrupt
                         where the packet driver is loaded. It must be in
                         the range 0x60 to 0x80.

                         This is a required parameter.
                         The value you specified for this parameter
                         must start with 0x to indicate this is a
                         hexadecimal value.

        [INT_LEVEL]      This specifies the hardware interrupt (IRQ)
                         value.

                         Note that this value must match the IRQ value
                         you specified for ECARD.EXE or the one
                         reported by ECARD.EXE.

        [IO_ADDR]        This specifies the starting I/O address.

                         The value you specified for this parameter
                         must start with 0x to indicate this is a
                         hexadecimal value.

                         Note that this value must match the IOP value
                         you specified for ECARD.EXE or the one
                         reported by ECARD.EXE.

     Example 1:

           The following command loads the Packet Driver at
           software interrupt 0x60, I/O address 0x300, and hardware
           interrupt 3.

           Since no command line option is specified, the connection
           type is set to Auto-negotiation.

              TC5299 0x60 3 0x300

     Example 2:

           The following command loads the Packet Driver at
           software interrupt 0x60, I/O address 0x320, and hardware
           interrupt 5, and the linespeed forced to 10Full.

              TC5299 -10FULL 0x60 5 0x320

     Example 3:

           The following command unloads the Packet Driver.

              TC5299 -u 0x60

   A sample batch file START.BAT is included in this directory.  This
   batch file first executes ECARD.EXE and then brings up the packet
   driver. To use this batch file on your computer you may
   have to modify the IRQ and IO_BASE values.
