============================ R E A D M E N O T E S ============================ Broadcom Ethernet Driver for DOS ODI Copyright (c) 2002-2007 Broadcom Corporation All rights reserved. For use on PCs running DOS version 6.22 only. To use to login to a Novell Netware Server use the Novell ZENWorks Starter Pack to setup and configure your PC. To login to NETBEUI/NDIS environments please use Novell's ODINSUP.COM protocol as a link between the B57 DOS ODI driver and the NETBEUI/NDIS protocols. CUSTOM KEYWORDS for net.cfg: BUSNUM DEVNUM FUNCNUM LINESPEED DUPLEX SUBVID BUSNUM: This hexadecimal parameter, range from 0-255, specifies the PCI bus number on which the ethernet controller is located. DEVNUM: This hexadecimal parameter, range from 0-31, specifies the PCI device number assigned to the ethernet controller. FUNCNUM: This hexadecimal parameter, range from 0-7, specifies the PCI function or port number assigned to the ethernet controller. LINESPEED: This decimal parameter, 10 or 100, specifies the speed of the network connection. NOTE: According to IEEE specifications, copper line speed of 1000 can not be forced and its only achievable by auto negotiation. DUPLEX: This string parameter, HALF or 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. 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 boards are on a system and (a) specific adapter/s need to be loaded in specific order. In addition to these three keywords, the driver has ability to detect and load on the NIC that has a good link. In case of multiple NICs with multiple good links, its will loads on the first NIC found with good link. SUBVID: keyword is for loading the driver only on the first NIC found that has a sub-vendor ID (SVID) that matches the one set in NET.CFG. The driver will ignore all other NICs that do not have a matching SVID. SUBVID expects a hexadecimal number. A PCI device scan utility can also be used to find this information. The NET.CFG file expects hexadecimal values. Example: If the driver loads on a single adapter, the values displayed on screen can be used in the NET.CFG file. If a PCI scan utility displays card 1 at bus 4 and device 11(hex) and card 3 at bus 3 device 13 hex then the followi
