DOS network driver wrappers. (Users)

Hi, maybe someone will be interested - here I found a collection of DOS network driver wrappers. I needed packet driver for my RTL8111 but there's any. Realtek provide only ODI and NDIS driver. But I successfully managed to use ODIPKT.COM wrapper to emulate packet driver over ODI driver. I need to load:
LOADHIGH lsl
LOADHIGH rtgeodi
LOADHIGH odipkt 1 96
1st param is number of interface Ethernet_II in net.cfg and 96 is Packet INT service in decimal 96=0x60.

There is a open source project for DOS Realtek 8101 driver

I have RTL8111 but maybe it is compatible on some low level, I can try what happen if I add my PCI device ID...

So I tried to modify and recompile the driver with my PCI device id 8186h. When I loaded the packet driver it displayed some errors (just error1, error2...) but below it displayed correct MAC address. Unfortunatelly when I tried ping or any other wattcp program it crashed JEMM (or without JEMM it froze my PC). So it seems RTL8111/8186 is incompatible hardware and the driver needs to be rewriten. Hm so I will rather load NDIS driver by devload and use pkt wrapper...
