BDRVUPD.EXE can be invoked via command line options.  BDRVUPD.EXE,
the INF file and the driver files must be placed in the same
directory.  BDRVUPD.EXE is invoked as follows:

      BDRVUPD InfFileName ["HardwareId"]

where:

  InfFileName   = INF file name

  HardwareId    = is a fully qualified PCI hardware Id for the
                  device to update.
                  E.g. PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_1645&SUBSYS_000814E4&REV_15
                  This parameter is optional.  If it is not
                  specified, all Broadcom network devices in the
                  INF file are updated.

Examples:

To update all Broadcom network devices in the b57w2k.inf:

 BDRVUPD b57w2k.inf


To update PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_1645&SUBSYS_000814E4&REV_15 device:

 BDRVUPD b57w2k.inf "PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_1645&SUBSYS_000814E4&REV_15"

BDRVUPD.EXE writes "Pass" or "Fail" to the "Unattended Update" value
at registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Broadcom\b57w2k for Windows 2000.

Appendix A: Package Specific Installation Instruction


        This update is packaged as a self-extracting Package for the web (PFW). To
        unpack, this update requires that your TEMP environment variable be set to a
        path with read/write access. You must be logged in as an administrator.
        
        The command-line syntax for Package-For-The-Web Driver update package is: 
        
        Package.exe [-s] [-a [-s] | [-x directory] | [-?] ]
        
        [-s] This initial -s tells the Package-For-The-Web software to install silently 
        and will not prompt if files need to be over-written in the %temp% directory. 
         
        [-a] Tells the Package-For-The-Web software to pass all subsequent commands to 
        the install package (i.e. the update). 
        
        [-s] The second -s option indicates to run the update silently and unattended.
        For firmware updates the update is scheduled to run on the next reboot. An
        immediate reboot can be forced with the -r option.
        
        [-x directory] Use with firmware updates to extract the update to directory 
        named directory. Since the Package-For-The-Web extracts itself to subdirectory
        in the %TEMP% directory, a relative directory will be relative to that location. 
        Normally the user will want to specify an absolute directory.         
         
	[-?] Display information about the command line switches. Only the 
	apply-update-silently (-s) option is necessarily unattended, that is the
	other command line options such as display help (-?) may require the user 
	to "hit any key" to continue. 


        If Windows packages are run without any command line options, a GUI is
        displayed.  This GUI offers all the options available at the command line,
        except that the -w option is not available.
