Two Identical Drivers

If you have two network boards using the same type of ODI LAN driver, do not load the same driver twice in the NET.CFG file and do not specify a “Protocol Stack” option.

Instead, use the Link Driver option in NET.CFG to specify that the same driver is used twice.

Do this by placing two Link Driver sections in the NET.CFG file, each one specifying the driver name and hardware settings used by that network board.

The hardware settings for at least one of the network boards must be modified, because you cannot have two network boards of the same type with both using default hardware settings.

For example, if you have two NE2000 LAN drivers, you might include the following lines in the NET.CFG file:

link driver ne2000 int 5

port 360

frame ethernet_802.2 frame ethernet_802.3

link driver ne2000 int 4

port 320

frame ethernet_802.2 frame ethernet_802.3

Putting two occurrences of “link driver ne2000” loads the NE200 driver twice.
