NOTE:

 

This is not a conclusive list of bus types. You can obtain an updated list of identifiers

 

 

from the Novell Labs™ facility.

 

 

 

 

 

The default value indicates that the LAN driver should search each of the machine’s

 

 

buses for a supported network board. The LAN driver should then initialize the first

 

 

supported network board it finds. The LAN driver determines the order that the buses

 

 

are searched in.

to use.

Example

To specify the bus type for an ISA adapter, you would

 

 

 

 

place the following lines in your NET.CFG file:

 

 

 

 

link driver ntr2000

 

 

 

 

bus id isa 0
