PRO/100 ISA Driver Keywords
The following driver keywords are supported by the EtherExpress(TM)
PRO/100 ISA adapter. All keywords are optional. Keywords that apply to
Windows NT or Windows 95 can be accessed from the Advanced Properties
area. NetWare keywords must be enabled by editing NET.CFG or set on the
driver load line when using the server driver.
KEYWORDS: DESCRIPTION:
--------- ------------------------------------------------------
MEDIATYPE
Description: Specifies which physical medium is attached to the
adapter. The default is automatic configuration.
Legal values: AUTO -- auto-detect speed and duplex of the network
HALF10 -- 10 Mbps half duplex connection is required
FULL10 -- 10 Mbps full duplex connection is required
HALF100 -- 100 Mbps half duplex connection is required
FULL100 -- 100 Mbps full duplex connection is required
Default: Auto
Used By: All drivers
NETWORKADDRESS
Type: Any legal 12 digit hexidecimal ethernet value
Description: Overrides the PRO/100 ISA adapter's unique Ethernet
hardware address.
Legal values: xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx (an Ethernet hardware address, where
xx is a hexadecimal byte value)
Used By: NDIS drivers (Windows NT, Windows 95, Workgroups)
NODEADDRESS
Type: Any legal 12 digit hexidecimal ethernet value
Description: Overrides the PRO/100 ISA adapter's unique Ethernet
hardware address.
Legal values: xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx (an Ethernet hardware address, where
x is a hexadecimal byte value)
Used By: ODI drivers (Novell Netware server and client)
RXEARLY
Description: Use the RXEARLY keyword to DISABLE RX EARLY interrupt

also called Early Receives). Using RXEARLY ON improves
performance by reducing receive latency, but increases
the CPU overhead incurred by the driver.
Legal Values: ON, OFF
Default: ON
Used By: All (except OS/2 ODI)
USE32BITIO
Description: Prevents driver from performing 32-bit I/O operations
to the adapter. Some PCI/ISA motherboard chip sets
have problems with this 32-bit operation and the
results are data corruption.
Legal Values: ON, OFF
Default: OFF
Used By: All
SERIAL
Description: Specifies the Plug and Play serial number of the
adapter; required only when multiple adapters are
present in the system. The default value #0 can be
used if there is only one adapter in the system.
Legal values: #0 or #nnnnnn, where the nnnnnn is the last 6 digits
of the IEEE address that can be found on the adapter
on a bar-coded label with the legend "MAC=".
