* 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.
