• Device Driver List

Loading Device Drivers

Home menu level: /driver
Description
In order to use network interface card which has a driver that is not loaded automatically, exempli
gratia NE2000 compatible ISA card, you need to add driver manually. This is accomplished by
issuing add command under the driver submenu level.
To see system resources occupied by the installed devices, use the /system resource io print and
/system resource irq print commands.
Property Description
io ( integer ) - input-output port base address
irq ( integer ) - interrupt request number
isdn-protocol ( euro | german ; default: euro ) - line protocol setting for ISDN cards
memory ( integer ; default: 0 ) - shared memory base address
name ( name ) - driver name
Notes
Not all combinatios of irq and io base addresses might work on your particular system. It is
recommended, that you first find an acceptable irq setting and then try different i/o base addresses.
If you need to specify hexadecimal values instead of decimal for the argument values, put 0x before
the number.
To see the list of available drivers, issue the /driver add name ? command.
The resource list shows only those interfaces, which are enabled.
Typical io values for ISA cards are 0x280, 0x300 and 0x320
Example
To view the list of available drivers, do the following:

To see system resources occupied by the devices, use the /system resource io print and /system
