 Introduction
 
        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 driver
        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 DE-650 Ethernet PC Cards 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.

    DEVICE = DE65SPD.SYS [/option] <packet_int_no>
    DE65SPD.COM [/option] <packet_int_no>

        Packet Driver Parameters:

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

       [/option]        includes 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.
       /w              The -w parameter is for use only in the Windows
                       environment.
       /u              Unload the packet driver.
       /c              Assign card number for driver.
       /n              NetWare conversion. Convert 802.3 packets to
                       8137 packets
       /auto           Automatically detect connected media.
                       *This is the default setting for media type.
       /utp            Switch media type to UTP.
       /bnc            Switch media type to BNC.
