Introduction  
Thank you for purchasing the PCMCIA 10/100 Mbps Ethernet  
Card.  
This high-speed Ethernet network adapter card complies with the  
PCMCIA Type II standard and uses a female RJ-45 adapter to  
connect to the network.  
The Ethernet Card is switchless and software configurable. An  
enabler program is used to set up the card for your operating sys-  
tem; even without the card and socket service drivers for the  
PCMCIA controller installed, you will still be able to use the card  
by running the enabler program.  
Features  
Type II credit-card size (5.0 mm)  
Complies with IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX and 802.3  
10Base-T protocols.  
Supports all popular operating systems  
Supports Nway auto-negotiation for 10/100 Mbps full/half-  
duplex  
Complies with PCMCIA Release 2.1 specifications and later  
Supports hot swap card insertion and removal  
PC Card standard 68-pin 16-bit PCMCIA interface

Figure 2-5: Disconnecting the RJ-45 cable  
Do not pull on the RJ-45 cable to disconnect the RJ-45 con-  
nector from the card. You may damage the RJ-45 connector  
pins as well as the Ethernet Card.  
Warning!  
After you have disconnected the RJ-45 cable, you can eject the  
Ethernet Card from the notebook’s PC Card slot.  
In Win 95/98 operating systems, you do not have to  
power down the notebook to remove the card. The card  
is hot-swappable—you can remove the card when the  
notebook is powered on. However, Microsoft recom-  
mends that you stop the card. Refer to your Win 95/98  
online help for information on stopping the Ethernet Card.  
Most notebooks have an eject lever or button for ejecting PC cards  
from the PC ports. Consult your notebook’s user’s manual for  
details.  
Do not eject the Ethernet Card when a data transmission is  
taking place. Exit your communications program normally,  
stop the card if necessary, and then remove the card.

Chapter 4  
Driver installation for DOS environments  
This section covers PCMCIA 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Card driver  
installation for DOS environment operating systems.  
System Requirements  
Notebook equipped with Type II PC Card  
slot and PC Card controller (compliant Rev.  
2.1 or higher  
Hardware Requirements  
The Card & Socket service drivers should  
comply with PCMCIA Release 2.1 or higher  
Software Requirements  
Driver installation  
You must install the PCMCIA 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Card drivers  
before your computer system can recognize your Ethernet Card.  
The following sections cover client driver installation.  
Driver installation program  
INSTALL is the PCMCIA 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Card driver in-  
stallation program. The INSTALL program automatically selects  
the most suitable option settings, or you can perform a custom  
configuration where you individually select each setting.

• • ! • • • • • • • —Driver installation for DOS environments  
Quick installation  
This section gives a brief overview of the installation process. For  
a more detailed description, refer to page 16, “The Install Pro-  
gram”.  
1. Card and Socket Services software should be bundled with  
your computer; if it is not, contact your dealer. It is re-  
commended that you use this software when installing your  
PCMCIA 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Card.  
A system with Card and Socket Services installed allows  
the PCMCIA card to automatically configure itself. While  
the system is on, available system resources and insertion  
or removal of the card will automatically be detected.  
2. Run the INSTALL.EXE program found on your driver disk.  
The install program guides you through the installation  
process and will install the network drivers needed to run  
the card on your network operating system.  
If you successfully completed the installation, go to step 5.  
If installation was unsuccessful, then go to the next step.  
3. If you are using Card and Socket Services, select auto-  
configuration. The install program will prompt Card and  
Socket Services to assign an available hardware resource  
configuration.  
4. If you do not have Card and Socket Services or if your card  
does not work with your version of Card and Socket Serv-  
ices, the enabler program can communicate directly with  
the PCMCIA controller on your system. However, you  
must select hardware resource settings that are not being  
used by other devices; otherwise, your PC system may  
have device conflicts.

PCMCIA 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PC Card User’s Manual  
5. Insert the PCMCIA 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Card into the  
PCMCIA socket (refer to page 3). Then attach the network  
cable to the card.  
6. Restart your computer and connect to your network. If you  
cannot connect to the network, refer to Appendix B and  
Appendix C.  
The Install program  
Before you can use your PCMCIA 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Card,  
you need to install and modify some files in your computer system.  
You can make these changes manually, or you can let the  
INSTALL.EXE program make them for you.  
This section explains how you can use the INSTALL.EXE pro-  
gram to install the enablers and the files needed by the network  
operating system.  
Using the Install program  
To run the INSTALL.EXE program, follow these instructions:  
At the DOS prompt type “INSTALL” and press [Enter]. You see  
an opening screen, which welcomes you to the program and asks if  
you wish to continue.

changes necessary for using your PCMCIA 10/100 Mbps Ethernet  
Card. However, in some cases, you may wish to make changes  
manually. This section explains how to manually make driver and  
file modifications to enable your card.

You can use CARDGO.EXE to enable the PCMCIA 10/100 Mbps  
Ethernet Card.  
The CARDGO program  
The program CARDGO.EXE communicates with the PC Card  
controller of your computer. This program is needed only for  
DOS environment network operating systems. You may install  
the Socket and Card Services to your notebook before executing

Installation for Linux  
This section covers the PCMCIA 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Card  
driver installation for the Linux environment operating system.  
Before you install the PCMCIA 10/100 Ethernet card  
Linux driver, you must first configure the PCMCIA  
interface in your Linux working environment.  
System Requirements  
Linux kernel version 2.0.x or later  
PCMCIA interface 3.0.x or later  
You can get the latest version of the PCMCIA interface package  
from the one of the following URLs:  
After downloading the PCMCIA interface package, refer to the  
PCMCIA-HOWTO file for installation instructions.

Installing the driver for Linux  
Follow these instructions to install the driver for the Linux op-  
erating system:  
1. Log on as the “root”.  
2. Copy the driver code from the Installation disk using the  
following syntax:  
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt  
cp /mnt/linux/en0100a.tar /tmp  
cd /tmp  
tar xvf en0100a.tar  
3. Generate the driver using the following syntax:  
cd /tmp/en0100a  
make all  
If the path of your PCMCIA source is not  
“/usr/src/linux/pcmcia-3.0.9”, you need to modify the  
“PCMCIASRC” variable of the “Makefile” file.  
Consult your Linux documentation for details.  
If the path of your loadable module is not  
“/lib/modules/2.0.35”, you need to modify the  
“DEST1” & “DEST2” variables of the “Makefile” file.  
Consult your Linux documentation for details.  
4. Install the driver using the following syntax:  
make install  
5. Configure the PCMCIA 10/100 Ethernet card using the  
following syntax:  
cd /etc/pcmcia  
Add the following text to the “config” file. The config file  
must be in “write” mode.

Troubleshooting  
Q&A for Windows environments  
These guidelines give you tips to deal with some problems on us-  
ing Ethernet Card. If the problems remain unsolved, contact your  
dealer for assistance.  
Windows 95/98  
Problem: Ejecting the card from the PCMCIA socket  
hangs or reboots the computer.  
Solution: To prevent this phenomenon from occurring,  
stop the card by using the PC Card tool in the Control  
Panel or the PC Card icon on the taskbar before you re-  
move the card.  
Problem: The card cannot be detected when reinserted.  
Cause: This is caused by certain unstable PCMCIA status  
lines when the card is removed and reinserted. The Win-  
dows 95/98 drivers may read an incorrect status during  
this period of signal instability, and fail to detect the cor-  
rect status of the card.  
Solution: The card can be detected by clicking “Refresh”  
in Device Manager.

PCMCIA 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PC Card User’s Manual  
Windows NT 4.0 and 3.51  
Question: Does the driver support hot-swapon NT 4.0  
and 3.51?  
Answer: Windows NT 4.0 and 3.51 dont support hot  
swapping. If you want to remove the card, shut down the  
computer and remove it.
