*********************************
* NDIS PROTOCOL.INI User Guide *
*********************************
This guide lists the available PROTOCOL.INI keywords for all
NDIS device drivers. Most of the keywords are optional
and have default values. The asterisk symbol (*) indicates the
list of adapters where the keyword is applicable.
IOADDRESS - This keyword specifies the base I/O port address used
by the Network Interface Card. This value must
match the base I/O address jumper setting on your NIC.
If this keyword is not present, the default value will
be 300h.
INTERRUPT - This keyword specifies the interrupt line used by the
NIC. This value must match the IRQ jumper setting
on your NIC. If this keyword is not present, the default
value will be 3.
DRIVERNAME- This keyword specifies the NIC driver's name.
NETADDRESS- This keyword specifies the node address (hex) used by
your network interface card. This option is used only
if you want to override the node address burned in your
NIC. In this case, the specified address will be used
instead of the NIC's actual node address.
MEDIA - This keyword specifies the media of adapter connected to
the network. It can be AUTODETECT, TP, BNC, AUI.

After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
