Several parameters are included in the ACCNE_NIF section of the
PROTOCOL.INI file. However, the only parameter that must
be specified is the "drivername". The other parameters use the
values detected by the driver.
irq Specifies the interrupt channel used by the adapter.
Acceptable values for this parameter are 2, 3, 4, 5, 10,
11, 12, and 15. However, some of the mentioned
