C. Parameter Description for SMC1208.LAN

        The following parameters are used in SMC1208.LAN.

    1. SLOT    : specifies which adapter is enabled when multiple SMC1208
                 adapters are found in your computer.  The SLOT keyword is an 
                 index value corresponding to PCI BIOS.  The mapping from SLOT
                 to physical PCI slot is different from one machine to
                 another.

                  Ex: LOAD SMC1208 SLOT=3 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
                      LOAD SMC1208 SLOT=4 FRAME=ETHERNET_II

    2. FRAME   : specifies which frame type is used by the driver.  Accepted
                 values are Ethernet_802.2, Ethernet_802.3, Ethernet_II and
                 Ethernet_SNAP.  Multiple frame types can be enabled 
                 by loading the same driver with different FRAME types.

                  Ex: LOAD SMC1208 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
                      LOAD SMC1208 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3
                      LOAD SMC1208 FRAME=ETHERNET_II
                      LOAD SMC1208 FRAME=ETHERNET_SNAP

    3. NODE    : Use a different address to replace the node address burned
                 in EEPROM.

                 Ex: LOAD SMC1208 NODE=0000E8001122
