NODE=
Allows an input Ethernet node address to replace the adapter factory-programmed Ethernet node address until a subsequent
reboot.
NODE=nnnnnnnnnnnn
FRAME=
Specifies the frame type. The default value is ETHERNET_802.2.
ETHERNET_II
ETHERNET_802.3
ETHERNET_802.2
ETHERNET_SNAP
SLOT=
Used to set a system-wide unique hardware instance number (HIN) that may be the physical slot number on a slot-based bus
such as PCI.
SLOT=n
Jumbo=
Enables jumbo frame support. When enabled, jumbo packets of up to 9000 bytes are supported.
Jumbo=1536–9100
The default setting is no jumbo packets.
Notes:
Jumbo frames are supported only on NetWare 6.0 and later. Also, the first frame loaded must be ETHERNET_II.
Jumbo frame support must have the following text in the Startup.ncf file: Set maximum physical receive packet
size = 18000
P3=
This keyword is used when running Perform3.exe tests and may be used to increase performance on networks running with many
IPX clients.
P3=1 when running the Perform3 test back to back to a single client
P3=2 when running the Perform3 test with many clients
The default setting is P3=0.
Spuriousfix=
When this keyword is set to 1 (Spurious Fix is ON), the spurious interrupts count that is sometimes displayed on the NetWare
console may be reduced. Setting this keyword to 0 (Spurious Fix is OFF) may enhance performance.
Spuriousfix=0 (Spurious Fix is OFF)
Spuriousfix=1 = (Spurious Fix is ON) (default)
Poll=
Disables the interrupt driven mode. When set to Poll=1, the driver does not use interrupts, but is polled by the NetWare operating
system. This is a common feature supported in NetWare. The poll mode may increase driver performance in some environments.
0 = OFF (default)
1 = ON
Wirespeed=
