***

3  Driver Parameters
====================


After the installation of the driver, there will be an entry in the
net.cfg in your nwclient installation directory that identifies your
adapter:

    LINK DRIVER 1032ODI

It is followed by one or more parameters:

1)  Frame type (mandatory!!)

    FRAME   <Frame-Type>

    This parameter specifies the Ethernet frame types for your network.
    Possible values are:

    ETHERNET_II
    ETHERNET_802.3
    ETHERNET_802.2
    ETHERNET_SNAP

2)  Bus and device number (optional)

    BUSNUM  <busnum>
    DEVNUM  <devnum>

    With these parameters the user can specify the network adapter the
    driver should bind on. This is useful, when there is more than
    one adapter in the system.
    The bus and device number is assigned by the BIOS at boot time. When
    the driver is called with the argument '-l' (see below) it shows bus
    and device numbers of the adapters of this family in the system.
