 Driver Parameters
 =================

 There are 6 parameters that can be changed.

       a. BurstLen     = 32 longwords
          Burst Length defines the maximum number of long words that can be
          transferred within one PCI burst transaction.
          The reasonable values are "1 longword", "2 longwords", "4 longwords",
          "8 longwords", "16 longwords" and "32 longwords".
       b. CacheAlign   = 32 longword alignment
          Cache Alignment defines the address boundary for data burst.
          The reasonable values are "8 longword alignment",
          "16 longword alignment" and "32 longword alignment".
       c. Threshold    = full packet
          This value decides the transmit threshold level of the transmit FIFO.
          Transmission will start immediately after the transmit FIFL has
          reached the threshold level or full pkt has been transferred to the
          transmit FIFO if the frame length is less than the transmit threshold
          level.
                        TxThreshold         Transmit Threshold Level
                           00H                     full pkt
                           01H                     16 bytes
                           02H                     32 bytes
                           --                      --
                           7FH                      2032 bytes"
       d. LineSpeed    = AutoDetect
          This adapter can be operationed in 10M or 100M Mbps.
          The reasonable values are AutoDetect(auto detect line speed by the
          driver), 10M(set the line speed is 10M) and 100M(set the line speed
          is 100M).
       e. FullDuplex   = AutoDetect
          This adapter can be in half or full duplex mode. In half duplex mode,
          the RL100ATX can only either transmit or receive. In full duplex mode,
          the RL100ATX can transmit and receive at the same time.
          The reasonable values are AutoDetect(auto detect full duplex function
          by the driver), Disable(disable full duplex), and Enable(enable full
          duplex).
       f. SelectedID
          This parameter is necessary when your system is equipped with
          multiple RL100ATX cards.  For each driver, you must assign a unique
          physical address. The value of this parameter is a hexadecimal string
          of 12 digits.
