SMC_WD 0x60 0x7 0x300 0xd800
where 0x60 is the packet driver interrupt, 0x7 is the IRQ setting
on the card, 0x300 is the I/O port base address, and 0xd800 is the
memory base address (NOTE: all numbers are in C-style HEX
notation). Don't worry if you don't understand what all this stuff
means - as long as you use the correct numbers, your packet driver
should work. NOTE: If your PC is currently part of a Novell
network (e.g. Netware, Netware Lite, Personal Netware) the
parameters you need can be found in a file called NET.CFG, usually
located in your \NOVELL, \NWLITE or \NWCLIENT subdirectories (along
with all the other drivers needed by Novell). Add the proper
command line to the AUTOEXEC.BAT for your Kali configuration so
that the packet driver will be loaded automatically whenever you
boot using the Kali partition.
When successfully loaded, the packet driver should give a sign on
message and report the ethernet address of your NIC when you load
it. Chances are that if your NIC has been functioning properly for
other tasks (e.g. as a node on a Novell network) then you'll have
no problems here. If not, or if there are any error or warning
messages, something is wrong (D'OHH!). One possibility is that one
of the settings on your NIC is in conflict with those of another
expansion card in your system. No two cards can have the same IRQ,
I/O port, or memory address settings, nor can the memory areas of
two cards overlap. Whatever the cause, you'll need to find and
correct the problem before continuing.
