Broadcom Corporation 10/100/1000 NetXtreme Ethernet DOS/OS2 NDIS2 driver. CUSTOM KEYWORDS in driver in protocol.ini: BusNum DevNum FuncNum or PortNum LineSpeed Duplex NodeAddress FullSize BusNum: This decimal parameter, range from 0-255, specifies the PCI bus number on which the ethernet controller is located. DevNum: This decimal parameter, range from 0-31, specifies the PCI device number assigned to the ethernet controller. FuncNum or PortNum: This decimal parameter, range from 0-7, specifies the PCI function or port number assigned to the ethernet controller. LineSpeed: This decimal parameter, 10/100/1000, specifies the speed of the network connection. Note: According to IEEE specifications, line speed of 1000 can not be forced and its only achievable by auto negotiation. For simplicity the driver will performs auto negotiation when LineSpeed = 1000. Duplex: This string parameter, HALF/FULL, specifies duplex mode on the ethernet controller. The Linespeed parameter must be set when this keyword is used. If neither the Duplex nor the Linespeed paramaters are specified the ethernet controller will default to autonegotiate mode. NodeAddress: This string parameter specifies the network address used by the the ethernet controller. If Multicast Address or Broadcast Address was specified, the default MAC Address will be used. FullSize: This string parameter set driver in "Full Size" mode where the driver will use additional of 48KB. Not applicable for 5705, 5901, and 5788. Note: The first three keywords are used concurrently and have been included for manufacturing purposes. Do not use them unless you are familiar with PCI device configuration. These three keywords are needed if multiple NetXtreme boards are on a system and (a) specific NetXtreme adapter/s need to be loaded in specific order. Example of the use of these key words in the protocol.ini: [B57] DriverName = "B57$" BusNum = 3 DevNum = 14 PortNum = 2 LineSpeed = 1000 Duplex = Full NodeAddress = "001020304050" To add more adapter(up to 4) repeat the below entry, where n can be from 2 to 4. [B57_n] DriverName = "B57n$" BusNum = DevNum = Example of using addition entries to load more than one adapter in the protocol.ini: [B57] DriverName = "B57$" BusNum = 3 DevNum = 10 [B57_2] DriverName = "B572$" BusNum = 3 DevNum = 11 [B57_3] DriverName = "B573$" BusNum = 3 DevNum = 12 [B57_4] DriverName = "B574$" BusNum = 3 DevNum = 13 NOTE: RPL boot up when using v1.13 and earlier and when use with keyword "fullsize", the Boot Block Configuration file *.cnf MUST specify in the DRV Type's second field the additional memory (53KB-60KB) used by the driver as follows: DRV BBLOCK\NDIS\B57.DOS ~ 53 ~ NOTE: In some cases due to memory constraints the command NET START may not function properly. For these situations NET START BASIC is recommended.
