This is a packet driver collection I put together to:

- Collect all the packet drivers I've found into one location.

- Keep it small enough to fit on a bootable floppy disk image with other
  networking components - note that *everything* that can be compressed,
  has been compressed.

- Make it very easy to extract a specific packet driver without needing
  temporary storage to unpack a traditional archive.

Simply run 'PKTDRV', select the packet driver you want, and press ENTER - the
packet driver will be extracted into your current directory.

Many of these packet drivers are from Russ Nelsons excellent "Crynwar" packet
driver collection - More information, documentation, source code and the
original distribution of his collection is available at:
   www.crynwar.com

I have not been able to find packet drivers for some of my network cards. For
these cards, I use an "ODI" driver and the ODIPKT shim to create a workable
packet driver - If PKTDRV does not offer your network card, try ODIDRV.

I have also provided a small program to help you "find" PCI network cards.
Simply run PCIPNIC and it will scan the PCI bus to look for Ethernet devices,
and report any that it finds including the Vendor ID, Device ID, Memory and
I/O addresses as well as assigned Irq (interrupt).

If PCINIC.DAT is available in the directory containing PCINIC.EXE, it will be
used to translate the Vendor and Device ID values into readable text. See the
comments at the beginning of the file for details on the format. You may tell
PCINIC to use a different data file by specifying it on the command line.
eg: PCINIC mydata.dat

If you add new Vendor/Device entries to PCINIC.DAT, please forward them to me
so that they can be included in this distribution.
