32-Bits PCI (fast) Ethernet Adapter
                  NDIS/2 Driver Installation Overview
                  ===================================


The driver you need are in the directories MSLANMAN.DOS, MSLANMAN.OS2 and
NDIS.  The NDIS drivers contained in these subdirectories are used with 3Com
3+Open, Microsoft OS/2 LAN Manager OEM distribution, Release 1.x or 2.x, 
and other compatible OEM versions of LAN Manager.  The driver can also used
with IBM LAN Server 3.0, 4.0, Banyan VINES, Wollongong Pathway Access,
Microsoft Windows for Workgroups v3.11, DEC PATHWORKS, Sun PC-NFS etc.


The drivers named ETHPCI conform to the Network Driver
Interface Specification (NDIS) defined by Microsoft/3Com.

Included in MSLANMAN.DOS,  and NDIS subdirectories
are the following files:

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

  DriverName = ETHPCI$
; Slot = 16           ;; {1-26}
  SIA_Mode = AUTODETECT
; {SIA_Mode = TP, AUI, 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 setting.  Otherwise, the adapter may fail.

If you don't specify these settings,  the driver will automatically
detect them.

SIA_MODE    Specifies the medium type used by the adapter.
            Acceptable values for this parameter are AUTODETECT, TP, AUI,
            BNC and TP_FULL_DUPLEX. If you didn't specify this settings it
            would be AUTODETECT for Ethernet device, but would bt TP for
            Fastnet device.

DATA_RATE   Specifies the line speed for Fastnet device, default is MB100.
            Notice! Do not use this setting for Ethernet adapter.
            MB100: 100Mbps,     MB10: 10Mbps
