			NDIS/2 Driver Installation
=============================================================================

The drivers you need are in the directories MSLANMAN.DOS and NDIS.
The NDIS drivers contained in these subdirectories are used with 3Com
3+Open, Microsoft OS/2 LAN Manager OEM distribution, Release 1.x or 2.x,
and other compatible OEM versions of LAN Manager.  The driver can also be
used with IBM LAN Server 3.0, 4.0, Banyan VINES, ARTISOFT LANtastic 5.0, 6.0,
Wollongong Pathway Access, Microsoft Windows for Workgroups v3.11,
DEC PATHWORKS, Sun PC-NFS etc.


The ETHPCI.* drivers conform to the Network Driver Interface Specification
(NDIS) defined by Microsoft/3Com.

Sample PROTOCOL.INI Files and Parameters
----------------------------------------
[ETHPCI_NIF]

  DriverName = ETHPCI$
; Slot = 1	      ;; {1-16}
; SIA_Mode = AUTODETECT
; {SIA_Mode = TP, BNC, TP_FULL_DUPLEX, AUTODETECT}
; DATA_RATE = MB10   ;; {MB10, MB100}

There are several parameters included in the ETHPCI_NIF section of the
PROTOCOL.INI file. However, the only parameter that you should specify
is the "DriverName."

If you change other parameter settings, such as the SIA_MODE, make sure
that it matches the hardware settings.	Otherwise, the adapter may fail.

If you don't specify these settings, the NDIS/2 driver also can
automatically detect them.


SLOT	     Specifies which network adapter is used by the driver.  If you
	     have only one SP2500K PCI LAN card in your machine, this parameter
	     is unnecessary!  For more than one  SP2500K PCI LAN cards, this
	     parameter is required and cannot be omitted from PROTOCOL.INI.
	     If the first SP2500K PCI LAN adapter is assigned to Slot=16, the
	     second one will be Slot=17, the third Slot=18 and so forth until
	     the last slot.


SIA_MODE     Specifies the media type used by the adapter.
	     Acceptable values for this parameter are AUTODETECT, TP,
	     BNC and TP_FULL_DUPLEX. If you didn't specify this setting, it
	     would be AUTODETECT.

DATA_RATE    Specifies the line speed for SP2500K 10/100 adapter.  The default
	     setting is MB100.

	     MB100: 100Mbps
	     MB10: 10Mbps

TX_THRESHOLD Specifies the FIFO threshold level during packet transmission.
	     Acceptable values for this parameter are:

					       Support
	    Keywords	   Level (bytes)      SP2500K Card
	    ========	==================    ============
	      LW128	  72	128		 Yes
	      LW256	  96	256		 Yes
	      LW512	 128	512		 Yes
	     LW1024	 160   1024		 Yes
	       FP	  X    full packet	 Yes
