Chapter 7: Installing the Novell NetWare Driver Software

Verifying or Modifying Adapter Parameters
When an adapter configuration is saved, the NetWare install program
adds load and bind statements to the autoexec.ncf file. By accessing this
file, you can verify the parameters configured for each adapter, modify
them, or enter additional parameters.
Note
The Novell monitor program and the config command are also
useful for verifying driver configuration. For information on how to
use these programs, see the Utilities Reference in your Novell
NetWare online documentation.
The parameters that can be defined in the load statements are described
below:
