These driver programs comply with Microsoft's NDIS v2.0.1 specification. The following text files describe the installation procedure for some of the most popular operating systems supporting NDIS drivers: File Description ------------ ---------------------------------------------------------- 3OPEN.TXT 3Com 3+ Open installation text file BANYAN.TXT Banyan Vines installation text file LANMAN.TXT MS LAN Manager installation text file LANSRV.TXT IBM LAN Server installation text file IBMLAN.TXT IBM LAN Support Program and LAN Services installation text file PATHWAY.TXT WIN/TCP Pathway installation text file PATHWORK.TXT DEC Pathworks installation text file PCNFS.TXT Sun PC-NFS installation text file The systems listed above are just some of the network operating systems that support the NDIS driver. Newer versions of these systems might have already been released in the market. In general, any system that uses the NDIS 2.0.1 driver is functionally compatible with the NDIS drivers included in the driver diskette. ********************************* *NDIS PROTOCOL.INI User's Guide * ********************************* This guide lists the available PROTOCOL.INI keywords for all NDIS device drivers. Most of the keywords are optional and come with their respective default values. The asterisk symbol (*) indicates where the keyword applies. IOADDRESS - This keyword specifies the I/O base address used by the adapter. This value must match the actual address setting on the adapter. If this keyword is not specified, the default value will be put into effect. INTERRUPT - This keyword specifies the interrupt line used by the adapter. This value must match the actual IRQ setting on the adapter. If this keyword is not specified, the default value will be put into effect. DRIVERNAME- This keyword specifies the driver name for the adapter. NETADDRESS- This keyword specifies the node address (in hex) used by the adapter . This option is used only to override the node address stored in the adapter. With this keyword specified, the specified address will be used instead of the adapter's actual node address. NDIS for OS2 driver doesn't support D-Link DE-621 Duplex function.
