Figure 2-5: Disconnecting the RJ-45 cable
Warning!
Do not pull on the RJ-45 cable to disconnect the RJ-45 connector from the card. You may damage the RJ-45 connector
pins as well as the Ethernet Card.
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 recommends 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.
Warning!
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.

—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 Program”.
1. Card and Socket Services software should be bundled with
your computer; if it is not, contact your dealer. It is recommended 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 autoconfiguration. 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 Services, 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.
! 15
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 program 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.

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:
•
ftp://hyper.stanford.edu/pub/Linux/kernel/pcmcia
•
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/kernel/pcmcia
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 operating 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 using 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 remove 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 W indows 95/98 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 “Ref resh”
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-swap” on NT 4.0
and 3.51?
Answer: Windows NT 4.0 and 3.51 don’t support hot
swapping. If you want to remove the card, shut down the
computer and rem ove it.

There is no PCMCIA controller on your computer.
Install a PCMCIA controller
from another computer.
Ensure that the PC card is
correctly inserted into the
PCMCIA slot.
Ensure that the PC Card in
the notebook’s PCMCIA
slot is the Ethernet Card
and that it is correctly inserted.
Change to another I/O port
usi ng /IO=xxx. Refer to
“Manual Installation” in
Chapter 4.
Valid I/O addresses are

service that supports this
PCMCIA controller.
