=================================================================== Agere Systems Inc. 08-March-2002 WVLANCAD.SYS Variant 1 Version: 1.26 =================================================================== 1: Usage of the WVLANCAD.SYS ================================= This driver supplies the facilities to the Agere Packet driver WVLAN42.COM and the DOS ODI driver WVLAN43.COM to access the Network Interface Card (NIC) When the driver is loaded it checks for the presence of 'Card Services' and if determined to be present, it will use Card Services functions to setup and manage the Agere PCMCIA adapter. If no 'Card Services' detected, the driver will setup and manage the adapter via an Intel 82365 PCIC. When 'Card Services' is not used and usage of 'Conventional Memory' is a problem see Section 4:Previous version of WVLANCAD.SYS without support for Card Services. 2: WVLANCAD used with Card Services. ==================================== When using 'Card Services', command line options are not necessary It is possible to predefine resources for the driver to be used. See for the parameters to use the Agere User's Manual. 3: WVLANCAD used with Intel 82365 PCIC. ==================================== The behavior of the driver is controlled via the command line parameters. See Agere User's Guide for more information. 4: Example usage of WVLANCAD.SYS without using card services ============================================================ Insert this line into config.sys: DEVICE=WVLANCAD.SYS /i=10 /b=1300 /m=d000 The actual values of the /i, /b and /m parameters may vary depending on your system. Use 'MSD.EXE' to determine which resources on your system are available. 5: Using WVLANCAD.SYS with the Agere Wireless PCI Card ======================================================== Note: With the 'Agere wireless PCI card' is not meant: the Ti1410/Ti1225 based PCI adapters. Insert this line into config.sys : DEVICE=WVLANCAD.SYS /p=1 Note that card services don't apply and are not needed for the Agere wireless PCI Card. Also note that no resources are specified, since the PCI BIOS will assign these automatically to the Agere wireless PCI card. Make sure that the setting 'pnp os installed' in your BIOS is set to 'no'.
