Keywords for Q57 NDIS2 driver
This document describes the keywords for the Q57 NDIS 2 driver version 7.65 (Q57.DOS).
The following custom keywords are used in PROTOCOL.INI:
BUSNUM
DEVNUM
FUNCNUM or PORTNUM
LineSpeed
Duplex
NodeAddress
FixCheckSumOff
Descriptions
BUSNUM and DEVNUM—These two keywords are used concurrently and have been included for
manufacturing purposes. Do not use them unless you are familiar with PCI device configuration.
These two keywords are needed if multiple NC1020, NC67xx, and/or NC77xx boards are in a
system and a specific adapter (or adapters) needs to be loaded in specific order. BUSNUM specifies
the PCI bus number, and DEVNUM specifies the device number given to the board when configured
by the PCI BIOS. The values are in decimal.
LineSpeed—This decimal parameter, 10 or 100, specifies the speed of the network connection.
According to IEEE specifications, line speed of 1000 cannot be forced and its only achievable by
auto negotiation.
Duplex—This string parameter, HALF or FULL, specifies duplex mode on the Ethernet controller. The
LineSpeed parameter must be set when this keyword is used. If neither the Duplex nor the LineSpeed
parameters are specified the Ethernet controller will default to autonegotiate mode.
NodeAddress—This string parameter specifies the network address used by the Ethernet controller. If
Multicast Address or Broadcast Address was specified, the default MAC Address will be used.
