HARDWARE

This function attempts to determine if a PCMCIA controller exists on the

machine. It first checks for PCI BIOS extensions, and then it searches for

any PCMCIA controllers. If found it displays controller type, base I/O

address, offset, number of the socket in which the PRO/100 is installed,

and the PCI interrupt (if enabled by the BIOS).

NETWORK

This function enables the card on the Ethernet network and performs

some diagnostics. It reports the operating mode and speed detected and

monitors the network for traffic. Network traffic is shown on a graph.

This graph provides a visual representation of the volume of traffic on the

local area network (LAN). The Receive Statistics window displays the

cumulative totals for received Packets, KBytes, and Errors.

use by the driver. It searches for memory, I/O, and IRQ.
