AMD PCNET FAMILY PCI DRIVER

I then tried once more adding the AMD PCnet adapter but pointing the "Have Disk" path to the above path - and bingo - it took it, and on reboot the device was there and started and working. The card maintains separate pointers internally. You also need a simple way of incrementing the pointer and wrapping back to the start if necessary. To actually set up the card registers, we provide it with the address of our initialization structure by writing the low bits of its address to CSR1 and the high bits to CSR2. Personal tools Log in.

If this is cleared, it means the driver 'owns' that particular ring buffer entry. You will need to allocate a 28 byte region of physical memory, aligned on a bit boundary.

The next section will enable some interrupts on the card. Note that interrupts can come from many sources other than new packets. You can do this by either waiting for an interrupt if you didn't disable the initialization done interrupt in CSR3 or by polling until CSR0 bit 8 is set.

Worked good for me! The card regularly scans all the transmit buffers looking for one it hasn't sent, and then will transmit those it finds. Well this worked a treat, Thanks, now i have the same problem with driver for Multimedia Audio control with in Vmware, any ideas?

how to install a AMD PCnet Ethernet adapter in |VMware Communities

A further important register exists in the IO space called the reset register. Your way works perfect for me on three Windows Zmd 4. Leave a Reply Cancel reply Your email address will not be published. MODE provides various functions to control how the card works with regards to sending and receiving packets, and running loopback tests.

Correct Answers - 10 points. Actually it should fix by VM Ware. And you may want to set bit 11 of CSR4 which automatically pads Ethernet packets which are too short to be at least 64 bytes. I was googling a couple hours before finding your help!!

Or is there any other ethernet adapater that I could get working mad a virtual WinNT4? You can not post a blank message. The initial Windows installation zipped right through, however, when I went to configure the network adapter none was listed. Note that your submission may not appear immediately on our site.

Thank You for Submitting Your Review,! Oh very luck i found you guys its frustrating when cant install the AMD driver. At initialization, you would want the card to 'own' all the receive buffers so it can write new packets into them that it receives, then flip ownership to the driverand the driver to 'own' all the transmit buffers so it can write packets to be transmitted, then flip ownership to the driver.

Installing the driver you have was the fix. Others may find this URL useful: Once all the control registers are set up, you set bit 0 pcnef CSR0, and then wait for initialization to be done.

This content has been marked as final. If you want to keep the current one, you will need to first read it from smd EPROM of the card it is exposed as the first 6 bytes of the IO space that the registers are in. Once initialization has completed, you can finally start the card.

VMware – Windows AMD PCNet Family Adapater Issue

Is it somewhere buried in the vmware distrib and I could get it off that? Also I'm curious - on Win2K, where does vmtools get the adapter cpi from? Finally, once all our ring buffers are set up, we need to give their addresses to the card. Your email address will not be published.

You need to parse ACPI tables etc. Select type of offense: I have an old Windows NT4 partition that I wanted to set up as a virtual machine.
