Intel EtherExpress 32 NDIS driver 6/22/95 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NE3200.DOS v1.4 NE3200.OS2 v1.4 This version has been released and certified by Microsoft, but Intel has not verified it. The following information was provided by Microsoft. Protocol.ini for the NOVELL NE3200 EISA Ethernet PROTOCOL.INI PARAMETERS This is an example PROTOCOL.INI file for the Novell NE3200 EISA Ethernet driver. The NE3200 section shows examples of the NE3200 EISA Ethernet configuration parameter settings. Comments at the end of the file explain these parameters and give their default, minimum and maximum values. The [protocol manager] and [netbeui] sections aren't meant to be complete or realistic examples except for the "BINDINGS = NE3200" line in the [netbeui] section. The only parameter that must be specified is the "drivername". Note that many of these parameters have default values (which are given below under "Comments about NE3200 parameters"). A parameter need not be specified in your PROTOCOL.INI if its default value is satisfactory. NE3200 - The NOVELL NE3200 EISA Ethernet Board is an EISA Bus Master adapter card. drivername units:[n/a] range:[NE3200$, NE32002$,...] default:[NE3200$] DRIVERNAME Identifies the network device driver. DRIVERNAME is the base portion of the filename plus a digit if there is more than one NE3200 driver. DRIVERNAME is NE3200$ for the first driver, NE32002$ for the second, and so on. netaddress units:[hex] range:[12 hex digits] default:[n/a] NETADDRESS Overrides the network address of the NIC. This entry should only be used if there are duplicate addresses on the network. The network address value is a hexadecimal string of 12 digits enclosed in double quotes (" "). maxrequests units:[integer] range:[3-10] default:[5] MAXREQUESTS Specifies the maximum number of general requests that can be pending at one time. Ranges lower than the default may cause a performance problem. maxtransmits units:[integer] range:[3-100] default:[5] MAXTRANSMITS Specifies the maximum number of buffers that can be queued for transmission at one time. Ranges lower than the default may cause a performance problem. maxframesize units:[integer] range:[256-1514] default:[1514] MAXFRAMESIZE Specifies the size of the RECEIVE and TRANSMIT buffers, in bytes. This limit refers to that portion of the frame from the destination address field through the last byte of data. The frame check sequence field is not included. maxmulticast units:[integer] range:[1-50] default:[20] MAXMULTICAST Specifies the maximum number of multicast addresses that the driver will allow. maxreceives units:[integer] range:[3-30] default:[15] MAXRECEIVES Specifies the maximum number of receive buffers that can be queued at one time.
