        [PNPND]
        DriverName=pnpnd$
        IOBASE=0x300
        INTERRUPT=5
        EARLYRECEIVE=0
        EARLYTRANSMIT=0

        PNPID=0
        ...


    Custom Keywords:
    ----------------
        PNPID = hhhhhhhhhhhh        This keyword is the Ethernet Address of
                                    the adapter you want to drive. If there
                                    are more than one ethernet  adapters in
                                    your  system ,  you  have  to  use this
                                    keyword to let driver locate  the right
                                    adapter. However, you don't have to use
                                    this  keyword  or  let the value  to be
                                    zero (i.e. PNPID = 0) if  there is only
                                    one adapter in your system.

        EARLYTRANSMIT               This  keyword  is  used to enable turbo
                                    transmission mode for accelerating data
                                    transmission.

        EARLYRECEIVE                This keyword  is  used  to enable turbo
                                    receiption mode  for  accelerating data
                                    receiption.

        FULLDUPLEX                  This  keyword is  used  to  enable full
