The drivers named FastNIC conform to the Network Driver Interface
Specification (NDIS) defined by Microsoft/3Com.

Sample PROTOCOL.INI Files and Parameters
----------------------------------------
[ETHPCI_NIF]
DriverName = FSTNIC$
; Slot = 1 ;; {1-4}
; SIA_Mode = AUTODETECT
; {SIA_Mode = UTP, UTP_FD,UTP_100,UTP_100FD, AUTODETECT}
There are several parameters included in the ETHPCI_NIF section of the
PROTOCOL.INI file. However, the only parameter that you should specify
is the "drivername."
If you change other parameter settings, such as the SIA_MODE, make sure
that it matches the hardware settings. Otherwise, the adapter may fail.
If you don't specify these settings, Fast Ethernet Controller Provider's
NDIS 2 driver will automatically detect them.
SLOT Specifies which network adapter is used by the driver. If you have
only one Fast Ethernet Controller Provider's FastNIC PCI Adapter
in your machine, this parameter is unnecessary! For two or more
Fast Ethernet Controller Provider's PCI LAN cards, this parameter
is required and cannot be omitted from PROTOCOL.INI. For the first
FastNIC adapter, Slot=1, and the second one, Slot=2, third, Slot=3
,..., etc.
SIA_MODE Specifies the medium type used by the adapter.
Acceptable values for this parameter are AUTODETECT, UTP, UTP_FD
,UTP_100 and UTP_100FD. If you didn't specify this settings it
would be AUTODETECT for FastNIC.
UTP: 10BaseT, UTP_100: Fast Ethernet (100BaseTx)
UTP_FD: 10BaseT with Full_Duplex
UTP_100FD: 100BaseTx with Full_Duplex
Default: AUTODETECT
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
