   Introduction:
   -------------
   This document describes the procedure to install NDIS driver on
   OS/2 LAN Requester for AcerLAN ALN-310 10/100 Base-TX Fast Ethernet Adapter.

   Location of Driver: \OS2NDIS\ALN310.OS2  (for OS/2 LAN Requester)


   Installing driver procedure on OS/2 LAN Requester:
   ---------------------------------------------------
      Before you start with the installation process, make sure that
      OS/2 LAN Requester  is properly installed. Similarly, your adapter

c. Setup Real Mode (NDIS 2) Driver Parameters on LAN Requester

    There are 4 parameters can be set in driver installation & reconfiguration

    1. Slot number: the PCI board index, range is 16..26, default is 16.
                    This parameter is used to distinguish activated board
                    when multiple ALN-310 adapters are enabled by the
                    driver.

    2. Sia Mode:    the connection type of the LAN board,
                    can be selected from TP, TP_FULL_DUPLEX
                    and AUTODETECT, default is AUTODETECT.

    3. Data Rate:   for AcerLAN ALN-310  10/100 Base-TX Fast Ethernet Adapter only.

                    MB10 : speed is 10 Mbps,
                    MB100: speed is 100 Mbps.

    4. Tx FIFO threshold: transmit FIFO threshold level

                    LW128 : threshold is  128 bytes (100Mbps),  72 bytes (10Mbps),
                    LW256 : threshold is  256 bytes (100Mbps),  96 bytes (10Mbps),
                    LW512 : threshold is  512 bytes (100Mbps), 128 bytes (10Mbps),
                    LW1024: threshold is 1024 bytes (100Mbps), 160 bytes (10Mbps),

                    FP    : Disable early transmit.
