Sample PROTOCOL.INI Files and Parameters
----------------------------------------
[ETHPCI_NIF]

  DriverName = ETHPCI$
; Slot = 1	      ;; {1-16}
; SIA_Mode = AUTODETECT
; {SIA_Mode = TP, BNC, TP_FULL_DUPLEX, AUTODETECT}
; DATA_RATE = MB10   ;; {MB10, MB100}

There are several parameters included in the ETHPCI_NIF section of the
PROTOCOL.INI file. However, the only parameter that you should specify
is the "DriverName."

If you change other parameter settings, such as the SIA_MODE, make sure
that it matches the hardware settings.  Otherwise, the adapter may fail.

If you don't specify these settings, the NDIS/2 driver also can 
automatically detect them.


SLOT	     Specifies which network adapter is used by the driver.  If you
	     have only one 32-bit PCI LAN card in your machine, this parameter
	     is unnecessary!  For more than one 32-bit PCI LAN cards, this
	     parameter is required and cannot be omitted from PROTOCOL.INI.
	     If the first 32-bit PCI LAN adapter is assigned to Slot=16, the 
             second one will be Slot=17, the third Slot=18 and so forth until 
             the last slot.


SIA_MODE     Specifies the media type used by the adapter.
	     Acceptable values for this parameter are AUTODETECT, TP,
	     BNC and TP_FULL_DUPLEX. If you didn't specify this setting, it
	     would be AUTODETECT.

DATA_RATE    Specifies the line speed for 10/100M(-NWAY) adapter.  The default
             setting is MB100.
 
	     MB100: 100Mbps
             MB10: 10Mbps

TX_THRESHOLD Specifies the FIFO threshold level during packet transmission.
	     Acceptable values for this parameter are:

					       Support	  Support
	    Keywords	   Level (bytes)       10M Card   10/100M Card
	    ========	==================     ========	  ============

	      LW256	  96	256		 Yes	     Yes
	      LW512	 128	512		 Yes	     Yes
	     LW1024	 160   1024		 Yes	     Yes
