Intel 82545EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller CE 5 Driver

The configuration files provided with the Windows* CE driver enable support
for single or multiple network interfaces based on the following Intel network devices:
- Intel 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller
- Intel 82541EI Gigabit Ethernet Controller
- Intel 82541ER Gigabit Ethernet Controller
- Intel 82541GI Gigabit Ethernet Controller
- Intel 82544EI Gigabit Ethernet Controller
- Intel 82544GC Gigabit Ethernet Controller
- Intel 82545EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller
- Intel 82545GM Gigabit Ethernet Controller
- Intel 82546EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller
- Intel 82546GB Gigabit Ethernet Controller
- Intel 82547EI Gigabit Ethernet Controller
- Intel 82547GI Gigabit Ethernet Controller

This technical note provides information on installation and configuration. A specific
example is shown for a 2-port scenario in a single system.

Single Network Interface Configuration
======================================

Use an ASCII text editor to read and modify the contents of the e1000ce5.REG
file. The network interface needs a registry configuration in the PLATFORM.REG
file. The protocol information should be modified (e.g., different IP address
or gateway) to correspond to your application.

Bindings, routes, and linkages are now handled by the operating system as
well, eliminating the need to set the linkage and route by hand.



Multiple Network Interface Configuration
========================================

The only things that may need to be modified are the subnet mask, default
gateway, and IP address, in the case of static IP usage.

Duplicate Display Naming
========================

When the Display Name ("Intel(R) Gigabit Ethernet Controller") is used for more
than one network interface, changes cannot be made once the Windows CE image
is loaded. This behavior is due to a limitation in the OS. Windows CE treats
adapter settings with identical Display Names as the same. When a change is
made in the Network Configuration (Control Panel) to one network interface,
it affects all the others with the same Display Name. When a static IP
address is used in the Windows CE build, all network interfaces with the same
Display Name will list the same IP address. The Registry settings will have
the correct values. This limitation does not apply in a PC development
platform due to the ability to remove and re-insert a network adapter for the
changes to take effect.
