PROTOCOL.INI Driver File Contents (3com_3cr990b97_drv41.exe)

    DriverName = "EL99X$"
;
; below are examples and explanations of some of the keywords supported by
; the 3C990 NDIS 2.01 driver.  most of the lines are simply comments.  the 
; marked with "-->" are lines that can be edited (removing the ";-->" and
; lines replacing it with spaces, and modifying the right hand side as
; appropriate.
;
; NETADDRESS allows the user to configure the network address of the adapter,
; rather than using the one in EEProm.  If not specified the address on the
; adapter will be used.  If specified, the right hand side must be exactly
; 12 hex ASCII characters which will be converted to the network address.
; The only restrictions we impose is that the address not have the multicast
; bit set (an odd number in the second digit) and the network address have
; bit one of the most significant byte of the address set.  This bit 
; signifies a locally administered address.
;
;-->NETADDRESS="02608C123456"
;
; SLOT=n, n=0..31 specifies the specific slot number to look for a 3C990
; adapter.  In the absence of this keyword the driver will search all slots 
; for a 3C990 adapter, so it isn't required unless there are multiple 3C990 
; adapters in the computer.  For PCI the "SLOT=n" parameter is actually a 
; device number.  Usually device 0 is on the motherboard, and the "slots" 
; start around 8 or so, but this varies from computer to computer.
; Note: if BUSNO is not specified, but SLOT is, we will search the
; specified SLOT on all PCI busses (0..7) in turn.  
; 
;-->SLOT=8
;
; BUSNO=n, n=0..7 specifies the PCI bus number to search for the 3C990 
; adapter.  In most computers today there is only a single PCI bus, number 0.  
; However, the PCI architecture allow for multiple PCI busses.  If this
; keyword isn't specified, the driver will search all busses for a
; 3C990 adapter, so this keyword isn't required unless there are multiple
; 3C990 adapters in the computer.
;
;-->BUSNO=0
;
; LoadDelay=n, n=0..65535 specifies the time in milliseconds to wait after
; the driver loads before locating the adapter.  This may be necessary in
; some systems where the PCI bus or the adapter is not ready as soon as the
; the driver is loaded.  In this case the driver will report "Network adapter
; not found or not responding".  The example below is for 3 seconds (3000 ms):
;
;-->LoadDelay=3000

How To Update Drivers Manually

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).

  • If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.

  • Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.

  • Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.

  • Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

  • From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.

  • Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.

Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
