NOLED

turns off LED indicators on LAN adapter

 

module to conserve power.

NOPREFETCH

disables prefetching in memory-mapped I/O

 

mode by turning off this capability on the

 

CardBus bridge. Using this keyword may

 

negatively impact performance.

PCIIRQ

use this keyword to force the driver to use PCI

 

IRQ routing. Some CardBus bridges have the

 

capability of supporting both PCI and ISA style

 

IRQ routing. The driver automatically

 

determines the best choice for this option unless

 

this keyword is used as an override.

PORT

(ODI) see IOADDRESS.

RXBUFFERSIZE

sets the size of the adapter receive packet buffer.

 

This is a number in decimal in the range 1 - 30

 

for 16-bit drivers and 1 - 100 for the 32-bit ODI

 

driver. Each packet adds approximately 1520

 

bytes to the resident size of the driver. The

 

default is 15 packets.

S

(ODI)(MS-DOS command line only) displays

 

LAN drivers resident in memory.

SINT

(Packet Driver) is a number from hexadecimal

 

60 to 80 designating a software interrupt. Default

 

is 60.

SOCKET

For 16-bit DOS Drivers: identifies the number

 

of the host computer’s PC Card slot or socket

 

into which the PRO/100 CardBus adapter is

 

inserted. If a socket number is specified, only the

 

specified socket is checked for the Intel adapter.

 

If no socket is specified, all sockets are searched

 

until the Intel adapter is found.

 

For 32-bit NDIS3 Driver (M32A.SYS):

 

identifies the number of the host computer's PC

 

slot or socket into which the PRO/100 CardBus

 

adapter is inserted. Valid parameters are

 

AutoDetect, 1, 2, 3, and 4. If a socket number is

 

specified, only the specified socket is checked

 

for the Intel adapter. The default keyword is

 

AutoDetect, and the driver will then

 

automatically check all slots for the PRO/100

 

CardBus adapter.
