# The followings are Custom Keywords. Put the keywords to enable the
# special functions.
[MS$FETND]
DriverName=FETND$
[IBM$NETBEUI]
DriverName=netbeui$
SESSIONS=20
NCBS=20
BINDINGS=MS$FETND
LANABASE=0
...
Custom Keywords:
----------------
FULLDUPLEX This keyword is used to enable full
duplex mode.
(suggest use CONNECTIONTYPE instead of this keyword)
SPEED This keyword is used to force the
adapter at 10Mbps or 100Mbps speed.
(suggest use CONNECTIONTYPE instead of this keyword)
AUTO This keyword is used to force the
chip at Auto-Negotiation mode.
(suggest use CONNECTIONTYPE instead of this keyword)
DEVICENO This keyword is used to force device number
for specified NIC card
BUSNO This keyword is used to force bus number for
specified NIC card
CONNECTIONTYPE This keyword is used to specify duplex
and speed mode. The strings are :
AUTOSENSE
_10BaseT
_10BaseTFD
_100BaseTX
_100BaseTXFD
FLOWCTRL This keyword is used to specify flow contro
ability. The strings are :
HARDWARE_DEFAULT (Auto Mode)
ENABLE
DISABLE
Driver doesn't care the result of auto-negotiate if
the value of this keyword, FLOWCTRL , is ENALBE or
DISABLE. It just enables or disable flow control
ability according your setting.
NETWORKADDRESS This keyword is used to override the network address
of the network adapter. Its type is :
"000123456789"
Note: If you want to specify NIC card, the DEVICENO is necessary, but BUSNO is optional
When the NIC cards in the system have the same device number, you can use
BUSNO to specify.
If there are two or more NIC cards in the system and you don't specify anyone,
driver will display the menu for selection. You can get the information about
bus number and device number form this menu.
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).
