Configuration Reference
Driver Parameters Reference
The following paragraphs present configuration guidelines for each of the
driver types: NDIS2 and NDIS3, ODI, and packet. These guidelines are
followed by a comprehensive “keyword” reference section.
All of the drivers described here automatically detect the speed of the
network to which the adapter is attached (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps), unless
otherwise noted. Speed can also be specified with the LINESPEED
keyword.
Full-duplex operation must be explicitly configured with the LINEMODE
keyword, unless the adapter is being connected to a hub which supports
Nway* auto-negotiation. In this case the adapter will auto-detect full-
duplex operation.
All of the DOS drivers have enhanced resource detection capability built in.
The drivers will detect free system memory, IRQ, and I/O resources for use
by the drivers. To use this feature, do not force a particular resource by
placing a keyword in the network configuration file. This will override the
automatic resource detection for that parameter.
ODI Settings (for driver M32AODI.COM and
M32AODI.OS2)
Custom parameters for networks using the ODI driver can be entered
manually, using an ASCII editor, in the NET.CFG file.
DOS ODI Driver Configuration Notes (M32AODI.COM)
The ODI driver M32AODI.COM conforms to the “Novell ODI
Specification: 16-bit DOS Client HSMs.” It is a DOS-based terminate-and-
stay-resident (TSR) program. The driver will configure itself according to
the options specified in the NET.CFG file. This file is supplied on the
Network Drivers Disk and must be present in the same directory as the ODI
driver. Files required for using M32AODI.COM are
M32AODI.INS Intel installation information file
NET.CFG Network configuration file
M32AODI.COM Intel ODI driver
