ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ?



    1.SLOT ( Required for multiple cards )



      Specifies the NBI (NetWare Bus Interface) slot number.



      For PCI adapters, SLOT is derived from bus number and device

      location as defined by the PCI specification. One way to determine

      the slot number is to load the driver from the command line. You'll

      be prompted with valid device number(s) for the adapter(s). Select

      one of them.



      Syntax:  SLOT=n     (n = 1,2,3,4,...)





    2.NODE



      Specifies a local administered address (LAA) unique to each adapter.



      Use this option to provide your own unique node address

      for the adapter.  The node address is a 12-digit hexadecimal

      number; the second digit must be one of the following digits: 2, 6,

      A, E.



      Syntax: NODE=xnxxxxxxxxxx



      n = 2, 6, A, E

      x = hexadecimal number



      Default: The adapter's assigned address.



    3.MEDIATYPE



      Specifies the mediatype that is currently used.



      Use this option to force your connection type. We support the

      following media types:



         Type       Ethernet Standard    Duplex

       --------     -----------------    ------

        AUTO          auto-detect         Auto

      Syntax: MEDIATYPE=Type



      Type: see above.



      Default: Auto-Detect.





[Note]: For Netware 4.1X server

        If you upgraded MSM.NLM, ETHERTSM.NLM and NBI.NLM that was

        created later than Dec 1997, you should use this driver.
