drivername: (required) if you have a single adapter, use the syntax in the sample configuration file section. if you are installing multiple adapters, each adapter must have a unique driver name. additional instances of the driver would be referenced by drivername=e100bx$ (for 10/100 mbit) or drivername=e1000bx$ (for gigabit), where "x" is a unique number 2 through 9.

   

   

    slot: (required for multiple adapters) this parameter is optional if only one adapter is present. if it is specified but is incorrect, a message indicates that the value doesn't match the configuration but the driver finds the adapter and loads anyway.

    this parameter is required if more than one adapter is present in either one bus or multiple pci buses of a system. the parameter tells the driver which adapter it controls. the slot number is the encoded value of the pci adapter's device location. to determine the slot number, load the driver with only the drivername parameter specified. the driver reports all the slots that have pci adapter(s) installed. you can determine which card is in which slot by using setup.exe and matching the ethernet addresses of the adapter to the device number specified in view configuration. [example: slot=0x1c]

    (optional) this value sets the adapter's individual address, overriding the value read from the adapter eeprom. the address must consist of 12 hexadecimal digits, enclosed in double quotes. the value must not duplicate that of any other device on the network. additionally, the value cannot be all zeros nor have the multicast bit set. so, use only the hexadecimal digits 2, 6, a, or e as the second digit of the twelve required in the node address parameter. use any hexadecimal digits in all other positions. [example: node ="02aa00123456"]
