The NDIS driver programs included in the driver diskette.
These driver programs comply with Microsoft's NDIS v2.0.1 specification.
The following text files describe the installation procedure for some of
the most popular operating systems supporting NDIS drivers:
File Description
------------ ---------------------------------------------
BANYAN.TXT Banyan Vines installation text file
IBMLAN.TXT IBM LAN Support Program and LAN Services installation
LANSRV.TXT IBM LAN Server installation text file
PATHWAY.TXT WIN/TCP PathWay installation text file
PATHWORK.TXT DEC Pathworks installation text file
MSCLIENT.TXT MS Network Client for DOS installation text file
The systems listed above are just some of the network operating
systems that support the NDIS driver. Newer versions of these systems
might have already been released in the market. In general, any system
that uses the NDIS 2.0.1 driver is functionally compatible with the NDIS
drivers included in the driver diskette.

This guide lists the available PROTOCOL.INI keywords for all NDIS device
drivers. Most of the keywords are optional and come with their respective
default values. The asterisk symbol (*) indicates where the keyword
applies.
IOADDRESS - This keyword specifies the I/O base address used by the
adapter. This value must match the actual address setting on
the adapter. If this keyword is not specified, the default
value will be put into effect.
INTERRUPT - This keyword specifies the interrupt line used by the
adapter. This value must match the actual IRQ setting on
the adapter. If this keyword is not specified, the default
value will be put into effect.
DRIVERNAME- This keyword specifies the driver name for the adapter.
NETADDRESS- This keyword specifies the node address (in hex) used by the
adapter. This option is used only to override the node
address stored in the adapter. With this keyword specified,
the specified address will be used instead of the adapter's
actual node address.
MEDIA - This keyword specifies which port on the adapter is used for
network connection. Options include AUTODETECT, TP, BNC and
AUI.
EARLYTX - This keyword specifies to enhance the driver performance
If EARLYTX = ON , enable early transmission. (default
setting) If EARLYTX = OFF , disable early transmission.
SEARCH_ALL_CARD - This keyword specifies to search all SN2000 Ethernet
adapters.
