CBNDIS4 miniport driver Configuration Reference
for Windows 95 OSR2 / Windows 98
* Parameters
To overwrite the driver's default values,
setting the advanced properties of the driver.
(Refer to the installation of Windows 95 OSR2 in
CardBus 10/100Mbps Ethernet Card User's Manual)
ConnectionType:
o AutoSense Senses dynamically the media ports (default)
o 10BaseT (TP) To connect 10BaseT Ethernet hubs
o 10BaseT (TP) Full Duplex To connect 10BaseT Full Duplex hubs
o 100BaseTx (TP 100) To connect 100BaseTx Ethernet hubs
o 100BaseTx (TP 100) FDx To connect 100BaseTx Full Duplex hubs
CacheLineSize = { 32 | 64 | 128 }
32 bytes (default)
64 bytes
128 bytes
ExtraReceiveBuffers = { 0 | 16 | 32 | 64 | 128 }
Number of buffers allocated by the
driver in the Receive look_aside list.
0 bytes
16 bytes (default)
32 bytes
64 bytes
128 bytes
ExtraReceivePackets = { 16 | 32 | 64 | 100 | 200 }
Number of packets preallocated by the
driver.
16 packets
32 packets
64 packets
100 packets (default)
200 packets
InterruptMitigation = {Enabled | Disabled} (default - Disabled)
Enable/disable the Interrupt Mitigation
algorithm.
InterruptThreshold = {number_of_interrupt/second} (default: 500)
Maximum number of interrupt/second allowed before
the Receive and Transmit interrupts get masked.
Meaningfull only when InterruptMitigation is enabled.
FrameThreshold = {number_of_frame/second} (default: 400)
Minimum number of processed frame/second allowed
before the Receive and Transmit interrupts get
unmasked.
Meaningfull only when InterruptMitigation is enabled.
EXT_MRM = { Disabled | Enabled } (default - Enabled)
Enable/disable PCI Memory Read Multiple command.
MRM should be enabled when the DC21X4 is connected
to the TI1130 PCI/CardBus bridge.
The default is Enabled.
EXT_MRL = { Disabled | Enabled } (default - Enabled)
Enable/disable PCI Memory Read Line command.
The default is Enabled.
EXT_MWI = { Disabled | Enabled } (default - Enabled)
Enable/disable PCI Memory Write and Invalidate command.
The default is Enabled.
Due to incompatibility problems with certain PCI host bridges
and PCI-to-PCI bridges, the driver currently does not enable
the Memory Write Invalidate (MWI) and Memory Read Line (MRL) commands
simultaneously. The driver will only enable one of the two commands;
by default, MRL will be enabled.
ReceiveBuffers = { 8 | 16 | 32 | 48 | 64} (default - 16)
Number of buffers allocated by the
driver in the Receive ring.
UnderrunRetry = {2,4,6,8} (default - 2)
Maximun number of retransmission attempts of
an underrun packet.
UnderrunThreshold = {10,20,50,100} (default - 10)
Maximun number of underrun occurences before the
controller switches to the next threshold value.
NoCableIndication = {Enabled | Disabled} (default - Disabled)
Check the LinkStatus before sending a packet and
retrieves NDIS_STATUS_NO_CABLE if there is not Link
indication. When it is disabled, it will retrieve the
NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS message (workaround for the Win95
wrapper handling problem of the NO_CABLE status message).
BurstLength = { 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 | 16 | 32 }
1 doubleword
2 doublewords
4 doublewords
8 doublewords
16 doublewords (default)
32 doublewords
SnoozeMode = {Enabled|Disabled} (default - Disabled)
0 Disabled
1 Enabled
StoreAndForward = {Enabled|Disabled} (default - Disabled)
Select the StoreAndForward mode if high
PCI latencies causes 100Mbps Transmit Underruns
1 Enabled
0 Disabled
TransmitThreshold = {72 | 96 | 128 | 160} (default - 96)
Transmit Threshold values for 10Mbps media.
72 bytes
96 bytes (default)
128 bytes
160 bytes
TransmitThreshold100 = {128 | 256 | 512 | 1024} (default - 128)
Transmit Threshold values for 100Mbps media.
Meaningless when StoreAndForward is set
128 bytes
256 bytes

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.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
