   Installation:            ( Location of Driver: \PKTDRV\PCIPKT.COM )
   =============
   1.  Load the packet driver using the software interrupt and any
       optional switches if required.

            Example: PCIPKT -i 0x7e
       The only required parameter is  the  software  interrupt. A packet
       driver needs to have a software interrupt assigned to it for other
       programs to access it. The recommended interrupt  0x7e.If you need
       any of the options listed below ,  place  them before the software
       interrupt on the command line.
       -i - Force driver to report itself as 802.3 instead of Ethernet II.
       -d - Delayed initialization. Used for diskless booting
       -n - NetWare conversion. Converts 802.3 packets into 8137 packets
       -w - Windows hack, obsoleted by winpkt
       -p - Promiscuous mode disable
       -h - Help
       -u - Uninstall
