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

  DriverName = FSTNIC$
; Slot = 1            ;; {1-4}
; MEDIA = AUTODETECT
; {MEDIA = UTP, UTP_FD,UTP_100,UTP_100FD, AUTODETECT}

There are several parameters included in the FASTNIC_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 MEDIA, make sure
that it matches the hardware setting.  Otherwise, the adapter may fail.

If you don't specify these settings, SMC1244TX V2 NDIS/2 driver will
automatically detect them.


SLOT        Specifies which network adapter is used by the driver.  If you
            have only one SMC EZ Card 10/100 (SMC1244TX V2)'s LAN card in your
            machine, this parameter is unnecessary!  For two or more Fast
            Ethernet's PCI LAN cards, this parameter is required and cannot
            be omitted from PROTOCOL.INI. For the first FastNIC adapter, Slot=1, and
            the second one, Slot=2, third, Slot=3,..., etc.

MEDIA       Specifies the medium type used by the adapter.
            Acceptable values for this parameter are AUTODETECT, UTP, UTP_FD
            ,UTP_100 and UTP_100FD. If you didn't specify this settings it
            would be AUTODETECT for FastNIC.

            UTP   : 10BaseT, UTP_100: Fast Ethernet (100BaseTx)
            UTP_FD: 10BaseT with Full_Duplex
            UTP_100FD: 100BaseTx with Full_Duplex

            Default: AUTODETECT

  • 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.
