? displays command summary for driver
CACHE sets the system cache line size on the CardBus
Bridge. Valid arguments are system dependent
and may include only 0 (cache disabled), 4, 8,
16, or 32. Changing this parameter may affect
network performance.
DIRECTENABLE For 32-bit NDIS3 Driver (M32A.SYS) only:
DIRECTENABLE forces the method used by the
driver to determine if a PRO/100 CardBus
adapter is present. Valid parameters are
AutoDetect, Off, and On. Using AutoDetect
allows the driver to determine if the CardBus
bridge has already been setup by another enabler
such as a Socket and Card Services. If so, the
driver will use the current configuration. Using
On, forces the driver to enable the CardBus
bridge without checking its current state.
DRIVERNAME=INTEL$ required as first item in the INTEL section of the
PROTOCOL.INI file for the M32ANDIS driver.
ERT specifies the Advanced Look-ahead Pipelining
threshold. Valid settings are LOW, MEDIUM,
and HIGH. Changing this value will affect
network performance, depending on the
computer system.
INT See IRQ.
INTERRUPT See IRQ.
INTERRUPTSTYLE For 32-bit NDIS3 Driver (M32A.SYS) only:
INTERRUPTSTYLE forces the driver to use
ISA IRQ routing or PCI IRQ routing. Some
CardBus bridges have the capability of
supporting both PCI and ISA style IRQ routing.
Valid parameters are AutoDetect, PCI-IRQ,
and ISA-IRQ. The default keyword is
AutoDetect.
IOADDRESS and
IOBASEADDRESS specifies the base I/O address of the Intel adapter
I/O ports, in hexadecimal notation. The PRO/100
CardBus adapter requires 128 contiguous I/O
addresses if run in I/O mode. If using memory-
mapped I/O mode, no I/O ports are necessary. If
this parameter is not specified the driver will
detect an I/O port automatically.
