Using Keywords for the B57.dos Drivers

The Protocol.ini file contains certain keywords that are used by the
B57.dos drivers. These keywords are listed below:

BusNum. Specifies the PCI bus number on which the network controller is
located. Requires a decimal number having a value ranging from 0 to 255.

DevNum. Specifies the device number assigned to the network controller
when it is configured by the PCI BIOS. Requires a decimal number having
a value ranging from 0 to 255.

FuncNum or PortNum. Specifies the PCI function or port number
assigned to the network controller. Requires a decimal number having a
value ranging from 0 to 7.

Note

The BusNum, DevNum, and FuncNum (or PortNum) keywords are
needed when multiple controllers are installed in the computer and
when a specific controller must be loaded in a certain order. These
keywords are used concurrently and are included for manufacturing
purposes. Do not use them unless you are familiar with how to
configure PCI devices. A PCI device scan utility is needed to find this
information.

NodeAddress. Specifies the network address used by the network
controller. If a multicast address or a broadcast address is specified, the
controller uses the default MAC address.

Example

[B57]

DriverName = "B57$"

BusNum = 3

DevNum = 14

PortNum = 2

LineSpeed = 1000

Fuplex = Full

NodeAddress = 001020304050
