CHAPTER3 84 I/O PORT see IOADDRESS IRQ specifies a hardware interrupt for use by the adapter. If the computer system uses PCI interrupts on the CardBus Bridge, this parameter is ignored (unless the ISAIRQ keyword is used as an override). If this parameter is not specified the driver will detect an IRQ automatically.
85 Configuration Reference For 32-bit NDIS3 Driver (M32A.SYS): LINESPEED forces operation to 10 or 100 Mbps. Valid parameters are AutoDetect, 10 Mbps, and 100 Mbps. Default keyword is AutoDetect. LINKDISABLE disables link integrity for non-IEEE 10BASE-T networks such as StarLAN 10.
CHAPTER3 86 NOLED turns off LED indicators on LAN adapter module to conserve power. NOPREFETCH disables prefetching in memory-mapped I/O mode by turning off this capability on the CardBus bridge. Using this keyword may negatively impact performance. PCIIRQ use this keyword to force the driver to use PCI IRQ routing.
87 Configuration Reference TXBUFFERSIZE sets the size of the adapter transmit packet buffer. This is the number of transmit packets in decimal in the range 1 - 10 for 16-bit drivers and 1 - 100 for the 32-bit ODI driver. Each packet adds approximately 1520 bytes to the resident size of the driver.
CHAPTER3 88.
89 This chapter contains troubleshooting information covering the most common issues encountered when installing the PRO/100 CardBus adapter, based on information developed by Intel Customer Support.
90 CHAPTER 4 Additional Sources of Information In addition to this User’s Guide , your computer and network documentation should also be consulted as needed.
91 Troubleshooting Diagnostic Self T est (MS-DOS only) Intel provides a DOS-based self test diagnostics program. This program, located on the PRO/100 CardBus adapter Network Drivers Disk, tests several PRO/100 CardBus adapter functions. It also reports test results, the serial number of the unit, and the node address.
92 CHAPTER 4 Main Screen The program consists of several function “buttons” and a view pane. Pressing or invoking a function will bring up the corresponding screen in the view pane. This view remains until another is selected. To exit M32ATEST type 'x' or push the 'Exit' button.
93 Troubleshooting SOFTWARE This function attempts to determine what software is currently loaded which will affect the operation of the card. It displays the current version of DOS and Windows, and any Card and Socket Services available. HARDWARE This function attempts to determine if a CardBus Controller exists on the machine.
94 CHAPTER 4 Error Messa g es Except as noted, these messages are specific to the Intel PRO/100 CardBus adapter. They are listed in strict numerical/alphabetical order, i.e., numbers appear before letters and messages starting with “The” are under the letter T, initial “A” or “An” under the letter A.
95 Troubleshooting No free memory segment was found The resource selection in the driver was unable to find a 4KByte block of memory available for the driver's use. Check to ensure that a 4KByte block of memory is excluded from any memory managers present.
96 CHAPTER 4 Please specify a number between 3 and 15 for the IRQ keyword The IRQ keyword only accepts decimal numbers between 3 and 15. Please specify either HALF or FULL for the LINEMODE keyword The LINEMODE keyword determines the duplex mode of the network.
97 Troubleshooting The LINESPEED keyword must be set to 10 or 100 The LINESPEED keyword is used to force the network line speed to either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. If the keyword is not present the line speed is automatically detected. The loopback test failed Before the driver finishes loading, it runs a loopback test.
98 CHAPTER 4 The selected memory is a ROM address The MEMORY keyword was used to force a particular memory address, but the resource checking in the driver reported a failure. To override the resource checking and load the driver anyway, use the NOCHECK keyword.
99 Troubleshooting NOTE: This section applies only if you are running MS-DOS, Microsoft Windows 3.x, or Workgroups 3.11 with Card and Socket Services that support CardBus. Upgrading to new drivers from Intel may also be required, as new Card and Socket software is released.
100 CHAPTER 4 B When the PRO/100 CardBus adapter driver is loaded it either reads a configuration file or uses command line parameters to determine which resources it should use. The following is a list of driver types, driver file names, and the configuration method used by each: Type File Name Configuration Method ODI M32AODI.
101 Troubleshooting SystemSoft The SystemSoft’s CardSoft Card and Socket Services are loaded in the CONFIG.SYS file and generally include the following lines: DEVICE=C:CARDSOFTSOCKET_SERVICES_DRIVER (This file varies by machine type) DEVICE=C:CARDSOFTCS.
102 CHAPTER 4 C Reboot the machine by turning off the power and turning it back on again (cold boot). If the driver still fails to load, the cause is generally a resource conflict. Common causes of resource conflicts include sound systems, other PC Card adapters, and built in ROMs.

104 CHAPTER 4 E If the problem persists, and you’re on a 10BASE-T network, try patching directly into the hub. If the adapter works when plugged directly into the hub, but not when attached via a longer cable run, verify that the cable run length is within the IEEE 10BASE-T specification (100 meters).

107 Troubleshooting Put a copy of the directory for CAB files of Windows 95 from the CD- ROM on to your local hard drive. This will take up approximately 35MB of space. This will allow you to change settings on the system without using your CD-ROM. This also allows you to install Windows 95 without depending on the real mode SCSI CDROM driver.
108 CHAPTER 4 6 The dialog box “Welcome to the PC Card (PCMCIA) Wizard” will ask the following question: “Are you using a PC card (networking card, CD-ROM connected to a SCSI card, etc.
