Can you explain how to set up ethernet cards in DOS?  I found what I think 
is DOS drivers for some of mine at www.network-drivers.com:

3com  Etherlink III 3c83509TP   3c509x2.exe (x1 is Windows)   ISA

Realtek RTL8029AS  - 1.4M file includes Windows, DOS, linux, SCO....
(I did not download this one)  files with lmdos pcind in the names
(working well in linux with ne2k-pci)

Winbond w89c906F (ISA) for which I don't know the address   906setup.zip  
for lanstar (what is that?) or another one with .dat .exe and .hlp files 
that looks more like Windows.

Winbond w89c940F (pci, working well in linux ne2k-pci).  drv94018.zip for 
Windows 9X and DOS (lansvr, mslansman - what are these?)

Winbond w89c840F (pci, 100Mbit, no driver for SW71)  drv84011.exe for 
Win9x and DOS

Kingston KNET111TC - 100Mbit, tulip.o works in BL2, could not find a DOS 
driver, I may have copied this name wrong.


What do I do with the DOS drivers and do I need to have some program
called lansvr or mslansman to use with them?  And if I get it working in 
DOS, how do I use llpro with the network cards?  Do I just load drivers 
first and then start llpro?  What does the filename of a driver look like 
and what do I do with it?
