Client Driver Installation
6.1 System Requirements
6.1.1 Hardware Requirements
Notebook equipped with Type II CardBus slot and CardBus Socket
controller.
6.1.2 Firmware Requirements
Fully compliant Rev. 2.1 or above PCI BIOS supplied with the PC.
6.1.3 Software Requirements
Due to the newness of the CardBus specification, most Card and Socket
Services software still do not currently support CardBus devices. The
Card & Socket service drivers should comply with PC Card Standard,
February 1995 or higher version.
For your reference, the following DOS versions of the Card and Socket
Services are known to support CardBus :
• AMICard Manager Pro Ver 2.1.2
(supports CL-PD6832, TI113X)
• Phoenix Card Manager Ver 2.0
(supports TI113X)
6.2 Driver Installation
Before your computer system can recognize your ENW-3502-FC, the
driver programs must first be installed to enable the card.
25
PLANETlENW-350-FC
6.2.1 Driver Installation Program
INSTALL.EXE is the ENW-3502-FC driver installation program. The
INSTALL.EXE program allows you to do auto configuration where the
program automatically selects the most suitable option settings, or do a
custom configuration where you individually select each option setting.
6.2.2 Quick Installation
This section gives a brief overview of the installation process. (For a
clearer step-by-step procedure, refer to the next section.)
1. If the Card and Socket Services software is included as part of
your computer, it is recommended that you use this software when
installing your ENW-3502-FC.
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 Installation 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, jump to step 5. If
installation was unsuccessful, then go on to next step.
3. If you are using Card and Socket Services, it is necessary to use
the Card Service client driver, CARDGO.EXE, found on your
Installation Disk. You can install the client driver by typing
CARDGO at the DOS prompt or including it as a line in your
CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT file. When installing the client
driver, it is important to note that the driver should be loaded after
Card and Socket Services are loaded.
4. If you do not have Card and Socket Services or if your card does
not work with your version of Card and Socket Services, use the
direct enabler, ENABLER.EXE, to enable the CardBus controller.
The direct enabler communicates directly with the CardBus
controller on your system. Most popular controllers are supported.
To run the direct enabler, type ENABLER at the DOS prompt or
include it as a line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
5. Turn off your computer and insert the ENW-3502-FC into the
PCMCIA socket. The card is keyed to go in one way only. Then
attach the network cable to the card.
6. Now turn your computer on and connect to your network. If you
cannot connect to the network, refer to the Appendix B and C.

6.4 Manual Installation
In most cases, the INSTALL program can make all system changes
necessary for using your ENW-3502-FC. But in some cases, you may
wish to make the change manually. This section explains the driver and
file modifications needed to enable your ENW-3502-FC.
6.4.1 Enablers
The ENW-3502-FC can be enabled by either a Card Services client
driver, CARDGO.EXE, or a direct enabler, ENABLER.EXE.
CARDGO.EXE
The Card Service client driver, CARDGO.EXE, communicates with the
CardBus controller of your computer. This program is needed only for
DOS and Windows 3.1 systems. You should install the CardBus Socket
and Card Services to your notebook before executing the client driver. If
you do not have the Socket and Card Services program, please contact
your notebook vendor.
The INSTALL program will automatically add a line to your
CONFIG.SYS file using the following syntax and format:
DEVICE=[path_name]CARDGO.EXE [/INT=xx] [/PORT=xxxx][/U][/?]
where :
[/INT=xx] Specifies the hardware interrupt (IRQ)
where your card will be indicated. Default
value is 5.
The valid IRQs are 3,4,5,6,9,10,11,12,15.
[/PORT=xxxx] Specifies the I/O address. Default value is
32
CardBus 10/100Mbps Ethernet Card
auto detect. The valid port addresses are
xx00 or xx80, where xx = 4 ~ FEH.
[/U] Allows the client driver to free the resident
program when the card is removed from
the socket.
[/?] Displays all possible command syntax.
You can also run the CARDGO.EXE by typing “CARDGO” at the DOS
prompt or by including it as a line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
After you executed CARDGO.EXE, you will see the following display
indicating that installation was successful :
Socket : 0 (for example)
IRQ Number : 05 (for example)
I/O PORT Base : 0400H (for example)
The list of error messages the client driver may display and the
correction methods we suggest are given in Appendix B.
ENABLER.EXE
The direct enabler, ENABLER.EXE, directly controls the CardBus
controller of your computer. This program is needed only if you do not
have Card and Socket Services installed. The INSTALL program will
automatically detect whether the Card and Socket Services were
installed. If they were not, the INSTALL program will add a line to your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file using the following syntax and format :
[path]ENABLER.EXE [-il xx] [-io xxxx] [-pi] [-h]
where :
[-il xx] Specifies the hardware interrupt (IRQ)
where your card will be indicated. Default
value is 5. The option is valid only if the “is” option is given.
The valid IRQs are 3,4,5,6,9,10,11,12,15.
[-io xxxx] Specifies the I/O address. Default value is
auto detect. The valid port addresses are
x000 , where x = Dh ~ Eh.
[-is] Use ISA interrupt routing.
[-h] Display the help message.

Appendix A
Troubleshooting for Windows
Environments
These guidelines give you tips to deal with some problems on using
ENW-3502-FC. If the problems remain unsolved, contact your dealer for
assistance.
A.1 Windows 95 OSR2
1. Ejecting the card from the CardBus 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 remove the card.
2. The card can not be detected when reinserted
It is caused by certain unstable CardBus status lines for a time when
the card is removed and reinserted. The Windows 95 drivers may
read an incorrect status during this period of signal instability, and
fail to detect the correct status of the card.
Solution: The card can be detected by clicking “Refresh” in Device
Manager.
3. Windows 95 stopped responding with the card installed.
On certain laptop computers with CardBus support, the computer
may hang when you attempt to start Windows 95 OSR2. This may
occur if you insert the card and a non-CardBus card into the slots
before you start OSR2.
Solution: To work around this problem, insert the non-CardBus
card into the slot after you have started OSR2.
4. The card in the docking station cannot be recognized or
configured, or cannot function.
This problem occurs in some docking stations and prevents IRQ
available to the PCI bus from being assigned to CardBus devices
36
CardBus 10/100Mbps Ethernet Card
in the docking station.
Solution: This is a hardware problem. Contact your docking station
manufacturer for a remedy.
5. Inserting the card into the docking station causes the system to
reboot. This symptom has been observed with certain docking
stations.
Solution: Contact your computer manufacturer for a possible
remedy.
6. Data transfer with the card is slow and unreliable.
Solution: (1) Some computers with poor PCI bus latency may
cause transmit FIFO underrun, therefore, some
packets will be lost. Enable the store and
forward property (refer to readme.txt under the
\Win9X subdirectory of the driver diskette).
(2) This problem can also occur with docking
stations. If this is the case, contact your
computer manufacturer for a possible
remedy.
A.2 Windows NT 4.0
1. The card can not be enabled.
Solution: Since Windows NT 4.0 does not support CardBus,
make sure the CardBus Enable property of the card is set as
Direct Enable to let the driver of the card to enable the CardBus
controller directly.
2. The driver can not work in conjunction with third party Card and
Socket Services drivers.
Answer: Currently, we support SystemSoft CardWizard For
Windows NT TM only. If the Card and Socket Services drivers
you used is provided by other party, you may need to uninstall it,
and let our driver enable this network card directly, otherwise
the performance is unpredicted.
3. Does the driver support “hot-swap” on NT 4.0 ?
Answer: If SystemSoft CardWizard For Windows NT TM is
installed on your NT 4.0, “hot-swap” is supported; otherwise,
since the driver does not handle card insertion and removal,
“hot-swap” is not supported.
