CONFIGURING THE DRIVER SOFTWARE
The ODI driver software can be configured by adding specific optional keywords to the Net.cfg file.
If multiple (or multiport) Broadcom NetXtreme II adapters are installed in a system, the ODI driver software loads by default
on the adapter/port that has a good link. If two or more adapters have a good link, the ODI driver software loads on the
adapter having the latest Device ID. If two or more adapters that have a good link have the same Device ID, the ODI driver
software loads on the adapter that is located in the slot having the lowest bus number.
If it is necessary to have the ODI driver load on certain adapters in a certain order, the BusNum, DevNum, and FuncNum
keywords can be used. Do not use these keywords unless you know how to configure PCI devices.
The BusNum keyword value, which represents the PCI bus number in which the adapter is located, is a hexadecimal
number ranging from 0 to FF.
The FuncNum keyword value, which represents the function (port) number of a multiport adapter, is a hexadecimal number
with 0 representing the first port and 1 representing the second port.
The DevNum keyword value, which represents the assigned device number, is a hexadecimal number ranging from 0 to 1F.
