NIC Load Parameters
Parameter	Descriptions
slot=n	Identifies the slot number for the specific 3Com Gigabit Etherlink
	Server NIC currently being configured. This parameter is not necessary
	if only a single NIC is installed.
	If multiple NICs are installed, you can view the list of slot numbers
	when loading the driver.
frame=type	Defines the frame type being used by this load instance. Valid types are:
	■	Ethernet_802.2
	■	Ethernet_802.3
	■	Ethernet_ii
	■	Ethernet_snap
link=n	Defines whether 802.3 compliant link negotiation is enabled/disabled.
	■ A value of 1 (one) activates the IEEE 802.3 compliant link
		negotiation (default). All 3Com Gigabit EtherLink Server NICs use
		link negotiation by default.
	■ A value of 0 (zero) enables link signal detection. Use this setting when
		connecting to Ethernet equipment that does not support link
		negotiation, or if there is a problem establishing a link between the
		NIC and the connecting device. Unless you specify otherwise, the
		default signaling speed for the 1000Base-SX and 10/100/1000Base-T
		NIC is 1Gbps. When link negotiation is off, be sure that the
		connecting device uses the same duplex and speed settings
duplex=n	If link negotiation has been disabled, you can select either half-duplex
	or full-duplex operation.
	■ A value of 1 (one) enables full-duplex signaling (default).
	■ A value of 0 (zero) enables half-duplex signaling.
name=text	The name assigned to this NIC (also specified in the bind statement).
speed=value	If link negotiation has been disabled, you can select port speed to be
	either 10 (Mbps), 100 (Mbps), or 1000 (Mbps).
rxflow=n	If link negotiation has been disabled, you can turn 802.3x receive flow
	control on or off.
	■ A value of 1 (one), the default, allows the NIC to negotiate 802.3x
		receive flow control with the device at the other end of the link. If
		802.3x flow control is supported by the other device, receive pause
		packets will be respected.
	■ A value of 0 (zero) disables receive flow control.
