DriverName = "EL90X$" ; ; below are examples and explanations of some of the keywords supported by ; the 3C90X NDIS 2.01 driver. most of the lines are simply comments. the ; marked with "-->" are lines that can be edited (removing the ";-->" and ; lines replacing it with spaces, and modifying the right hand side as ; appropriate. ; ; MAXTRANSMITS=n, n=6..50, specifies the number of transmits which can be ; queued up by the driver when the TxFIFO is full or the adapter is otherwise ; busy. When we run out of queue entries, an OUT_OF_RESOURCES error will be ; returned to the protocol on a transmit attempt. Most protocols will handle ; running out of resources will little performance degradation. However, ; some implementations will drop packets and consequently lower performance ; if OUT_OF_RESOURCES is returned too often. The default value is 6, which ; should be sufficient for most cases, and is adequate for window sizes up to ; about 6 or so. On a heavily loaded server with a lot of active connections, ; you may want to increase this number since with large windows on multiple ; active connections you may need a bigger transmit queue to handle them all. ; Each queue entry takes about 128 bytes of memory, so increasing this number ; will increase the resident size of the driver. ; ;-->MAXTRANSMITS=40 ; ; NETADDRESS allows the user to configure the network address of the adapter, ; rather than using the one in EEProm. If not specified the address on the ; adapter will be used. If specified, the right hand side must be exactly ; 12 hex ASCII characters which will be converted to the network address. ; The only restrictions we impose is that the address not have the multicast ; bit set (an odd number in the second digit) and the network address have ; bit one of the most significant byte of the address set. This bit ; signifies a locally administered address. ; ;-->NETADDRESS="02608C123456" ; ; ; SLOT=n, n=0..31 specifies the specific slot number to look for a 3C90X ; adapter. In the absence of this keyword the driver will search all slots ; for a 3c90X adapter, so it isn't required unless there are multiple 3C90X ; adapters in the computer. For PCI the "SLOT=n" parameter is actually a ; device number. Usually device 0 is on the motherboard, and the "slots" ; start around 8 or so, but this varies from computer to computer. The best ; way to determine what number to use is to look at the slot number displayed ; by the 3C90XCFG.EXE program for a given adapter. Note: if BUSNO is not ; specified, but SLOT is, we will search the specified SLOT on all PCI busses ; (0..7) in turn. ; ;-->SLOT=8 ; ; BUSNO=n, n=0..7 specifies the PCI bus number to search for the 3C90X ; adapter. In most computers today there is only a single PCI bus, number 0. ; However, the PCI architecture allow for multiple PCI busses. If this ; keyword isn't specified, the driver will search all busses for a ; 3C90X adapter, so this keyword isn't required unless there are multiple ; 3C90X adapters in the computer. ; ;-->BUSNO=0
