Eric sent this to me off-list, but this seems like it should be part of the discussion. >From a license standpoint, the Crynwr package drivers should already be under an open source license. I think we already include them. I don't know of other open source network drivers .. if you know of any, p

Re: [Freedos-user] fdnet.bat

Hi I'm still doubtful about using fdnet in DOS machine - I'm not talking about virtual box, which I don't use. I have three laptops with freedos with pci ethernet cards (realtek, Via and Broadcom) and with Nicscan I found the drivers and they work very well. It would be nice, if (as in Slacko

Re: [Freedos-user] fdnet.bat

Hi, Both of my real DOS machines also require special packet drivers. One uses 3c5x9pd.com , and the other 3c90xpd.com . So, I too need to tweak the “real hardware” stuff. How does this sound… Probably update to FDNET: If one of those

Re: [Freedos-user] fdnet.bat

Hi! > lspci -nn -vvv | grep Ethernet You can also use PCISLEEP Q02 to get a list of network devices in DOS, or you could use PCISLEEP L to get a full list of PCI devices in your system :-) As this tool is quite small, it will at most tell you the brand names, not the product names, but you can

Re: [Freedos-user] fdnet.bat

Ran into the same problem.  Got around it by making a couple of local modifications to fdnet.bat as indicated by the REMs and arrows below.  Put your appropriate packet driver in the second local mod.  The packet driver (3c90xpd.com) was placed in the same directory as all the other packet driv

Re: [Freedos-user] fdnet.bat

Hi! If that means that fdnet knows which driver WOULD match a given PCI ID, could it DISPLAY that info and let the user dig up the recommended driver manually? What does the current fdnet version do in such cases, silently load another driver in the hope that the hardware would actually be virtua

Re: [Freedos-user] fdnet.bat

Hi Andrea, OK, just at a glance, you already have the functioning packet driver when you load ODIPKT, the ODI driver lists the MAC address, line speed, etc. What it appears FDNET is doing is attempting to identify and load an additional packet driver, using the configuration in MTCP.CFG withi

Re: [Freedos-user] fdnet.bat

Hi, Unfortunately, there are only a few actual drivers that can be included in the FDNET package. This greatly limits the usefulness of FDNET. However, the supplied drivers work well in VirtualBox and VWware. Although not tested, it should support some versions of QEMU. There was a recent upd

orge.net Objet : [Freedos-user] fdnet.bat hi at all in freedos1.3 there is in C:/fdos/bin the program fdnet.bat. Ok: wiki.fredos.org explains that it is a program for virtualbox, and that in case you have a freedos without virtualbox you have to write a line first with your ethernet packet driver.

Re: [Freedos-user] fdnet.bat

Hello Andrea, Perhaps you can post some screenshots of the messages you are receiving when the packet driver loads? Thanks, Dean. On 3/15/2021 12:28 AM, andrea...@tiscali.it wrote: *hi at all * *in freedos1.3 there is in C:/fdos/bin the program fdnet.bat. **Ok: wiki.fredos.org explains that
