Compex LinkPort PCMCIA Ethernet Card
English
Note: The default interrupt line number for the adapter is 5. Notebook
computers with built-in sound chips may also be using this Interrupt value. If you
encounter such a situation, it is best to configure the adapter to another Interrupt
number such as 10 or 11 to avoid any conflicts.
Before beginning the installation procedure, make a backup Copy diskette and
use the Copy for installation. Store the original diskette in a safe place.
ECARD.EXE utility
To configure the Compex LinkPort PCMCIA Ethernet Card properly, you
should first run the ECARD.EXE utility. Enter the following at the DOS

The Compex LinkPort PCMCIA Ethernet Card is now configured and you are
ready to load the network drivers.
