CHAPTER 4
B When the PRO/100 CardBus adapter driver is loaded it either
reads a configuration file or uses command line parameters to
determine which resources it should use. The following is a list of
driver types, driver file names, and the configuration method used
by each:
Type File Name Configuration Method
ODI M32AODI.COM reads NET.CFG file
NDIS2 M32ANDIS.EXE reads PROTOCOL.INI file
Packet M32APD.EXE uses COMMAND LINE parameters
The default resources used by the PRO/100 CardBus adapter for all drivers
except the 32-bit ODI driver, in the absence of a contrary setting in the
configuration file or on the command line are:
MEMORY AUTO
IRQ AUTO
IOADDRESS (NDIS) AUTO
PORT (ODI) AUTO
C Card and Socket Services will generally try to assign a set of
resources (interrupt, memory window, I/O window) to the PRO/
100 CardBus adapter. The resources configured for the PRO/100
CardBus adapter (in a configuration file or on a command line)
must match the resources assigned by Card and Socket Services.
If they do not, the driver will generally fail to load.
The way resources are assigned to the PC Card varies among Card
and Socket Services manufacturers. The following section
provides guidelines for SystemSoft Card and Socket Services.
Review your Card and Socket Services documentation. To use
Card and Socket Services with the PRO/100 CardBus adapter, you
must know what resources will be assigned by Card and Socket
Services, then specify the same resources when configuring the
PRO/100 CardBus.
