Keywords for Q57 NDIS2 driver

This document describes the keywords for the Q57 NDIS 2 driver version 7.65 (Q57.DOS).

The following custom keywords are used in PROTOCOL.INI:

•BUSNUM

•DEVNUM

•FUNCNUM or PORTNUM

•LineSpeed

•Duplex

•NodeAddress

•FixCheckSumOff Descriptions

•BUSNUM and DEVNUM—These two keywords are used concurrently and have been included for manufacturing purposes. Do not use them unless you are familiar with PCI device configuration. These two keywords are needed if multiple NC1020, NC67xx, and/or NC77xx boards are in a system and a specific adapter (or adapters) needs to be loaded in specific order. BUSNUM specifies the PCI bus number, and DEVNUM specifies the device number given to the board when configured by the PCI BIOS. The values are in decimal.

•LineSpeed—This decimal parameter, 10 or 100, specifies the speed of the network connection. According to IEEE specifications, line speed of 1000 cannot be forced and its only achievable by auto negotiation.

•Duplex—This string parameter, HALF or FULL, specifies duplex mode on the Ethernet controller. The LineSpeed parameter must be set when this keyword is used. If neither the Duplex nor the LineSpeed parameters are specified the Ethernet controller will default to autonegotiate mode.

•NodeAddress—This string parameter specifies the network address used by the Ethernet controller. If Multicast Address or Broadcast Address was specified, the default MAC Address will be used.
