STANDARD MICROSYSTEMS CORPORATION
DOS and OS/2 NDIS2 Drivers
For EtherPower, EtherPower^2, and the EtherPower 10/100 Family
of PCI Network Cards
RELEASE INFORMATION
This software is licensed by SMC for use by its customers only.
Copyright (c) 1996 Standard Microsystems Corporation.
All rights reserved.
Version 2.21 14 April 1996
This release information describes the version history of the
DOS and OS/2 NDIS drivers.
The General Installation Guide (NDIS.DOC) can be found in the NDIS2
directory of the SuperDisk. Specific installation instructions for
various network operating systems can be found in the appropriate
subdirectories under the NDIS2 directory.
SUPPORTED NETWORK CARDS
o EtherPower Ethernet PCI network cards (8432 board types)
o EtherPower^2 Dual-Channel PCI Ethernet network cards (8434 board types)
o EtherPower 10/100 Fast Ethernet PCI network cards (9332/9334 board types)
VERSION HISTORY
-- Version 2.21 (Current Version) --
Added support for the 9334BDT network card.
Fixed a problem with detection of the presence of the MII physical
layer device.
-- Version 2.11 --
Added support for the 9332BDT network card.
Known limitations:
1. For optimal performance, do not use this driver with the
older 9332DST network card. Please use the shipping driver
version 1.02 or look for a new revision of the driver on the
SMC BBS in the future.
2. When using this version of the driver with the older
9332DST network card, please specify the line speed according
to the concentrator's speed. This older network card does not
recognize the keyword 'Autosense' which is now the default.
Added MII physical layer device support
Added key-word for selecting T4 medium.
Fixed a problem with excessive transmit underflows caused by the
driver and the OPTI PCI chipset.
-- Version 2.03 --
The default PCI burst size was set to 16 longwords.
-- Version 2.02 --
Added an enhancement for IBM OS/2 2.11 SMP
The "NETADDRESS" keyword was added to enable the user to set the
station (IEEE) address in case the address stored in the ROM
was overwritten.
The default number of Tx/Rx buffers was changed to a lower value,
therefore the runtime size of the driver is smaller.
-- Version 2.00 --
The driver now supports Win95, IBM Lan Server versions 3.0 and 4.0,
and IBM OS/2 V3.0 (WARP).
Added an autosensing mechanism for either 10Mb or 100Mb for the
9332.
Added a PROTOCOL.INI keyword "TX_THRESHOLD".
-- Version 1.04 --
Added multiple network card support.
-- Version 1.03 --
Added support for the new 8432 & 9332 with updated EEROMs.
Supports serial ROM format version 1.00.
Driver can now support promiscuous mode. It can be invoked by the
this driver using the SetPacketFilter NDIS2 call.
Added a PROTOCOL.INI keyword, "TURBO", to be used with the INTEL
host-to-PCI bridges. This may improve networking performance.
Removed PROTOCOL.INI keywords which enable the user to set values
to the DC21140 (pass 1.1) general purpose register. These will
now be stored in the new serial ROM.
Fixed a problem with MS TCP/IP for windows.
-- Version 1.02 --
Added two PROTOCOL.INI keywords which enable the user to define
the number of transmit and receive buffers the driver will
allocate and use.
Added a PROTOCOL.INI keyword which will enable the user to set
values to the DC21140 (pass 1.1) general purpose register.
Modified the driver reset mechanism in order to avoid problems in
the windows environment.
-- Version 0.32 --
