NOTE

If the PC card in the active Ethernet Adapter is different than the PC card that was in the Ethernet Adapter when the configuration parameters were saved, all parameters but the PC card options are loaded from the file. You will need to set the new PC card parameters manually. This procedure allows you to change your PC card while keeping your network and serial settings. You can save a new version of the configuration file so that future loads will include the PC card parameter settings.
