I tend to prefer the ODI method. I'm not sure what DOS packet driver you have but I see references for the RTL 8168 in the FreeDOS mail archives. They may also be compatible with RTL 8111 drivers. For the Broadcom 57xxx DOS driver, I have notes that show that I load the following (in order)
lsl.com b57.com odipkt.com 0 96 First is a Link Layer abstraction. Second is the actual Packet Driver for the NIC. Last is the ODI layer for DOS networking to be used by TCP/IP stacks like mTCP and MS-LANMAN or others.
