Hi,
Sorry to email but need a little help please, if someone would be so kind?
I just acquired a £30 Ebay bargain, a good condition Lenovo Thinkpad X100E. Nice little laptop (runs a little hot in Linux) which I've dual booted with FreeDOS 1.2 & Peppermint Linux. I have been trying to get a packet driver working to enable my Ethernet without much success.
NICSCAN.EXE (http://www.georgpotthast.de/sioux/pktdrv/nicscan.zip) & Peppermint report the card as follows:
PCI vendor 10EC, Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
PCI vendor 8168, RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller
I tried several packet drivers without success and eventually I appeared to find exactly what I needed when DuckDuckGo led me to this packet driver for DOS: https://support.lenovo.com/lu/en/downloads/ds003425
Which is a DOS Realtek driver for the following Thinkpad models: ThinkPad Edge 13, Edge E30, Edge 14, Edge E40, Edge 15, Edge E50, L412, L512 and X100e
The zip file does not provide an actual packet driver but provides several files to make one. In short if I want the final driver to be called X100E.COM then I run the following commands: RTPATCH.EXE RTEND.DOS RTEND2.TXT X100E.COM. I copy X100E.COM into C:\FDOS\NETWORK and edit C:\FDOS\BIN\FDNET.BAT and add the following couple of blocks of text.
berndpci 10ec8168
if errorlevel 1 goto x100e
REM ... Downloaded from https://support.lenovo.com/lu/en/downloads/ds003425 ...
:x100e
X100E.COM
goto finish
Unfortunately on a reboot I get the following error(s) when X100E.COM is executed.
JemmEx: exception 06 occured at CS:EIP-0386-00000000, ERRC=00000000 SS:ESP=0386:00010000 EBP=0000091E EFL=00033202 CR0=80000011 CR2=00000000 EAX=00000000 EBX=00000000 ECX=000000FF EDX=20490376 ESI=00000000 EDI=00000000 DS=0376 ES=0376 FS=0000 GS=0000 [CS:IP]=FF FF FF FF 40 C0 B4 8D
So I'm not sure where I can go from here and just wondered if anybody has any ideas or pointers they could give me please? BTW I am also getting Extended Memory errors when running my favourite word processor - Protext.
Thanks everybody!
Best regards,
Martin
