Chapter 8 About Network Device Drivers 113
The name = value entries vary according to the individual driver.
(Spaces around the equal sign are optional.) See Chapter 9, “Network
Device Driver Options,” for the entries possible for each driver. Two
entries are of particular note here:
drivername
Every section must contain the drivername entry, which specifies the
name of the driver defined in the section.
bindings
Every section that defines a protocol driver must have a bindings
entry showing the driver or drivers to which the protocol driver must
bind. Bindings are specified in top-to-bottom order, with each driver
having a bindings entry for the driver(s) at the next lower level.
Media-access control drivers, at the lowest level, have no bindings
entry because they are already configured to directly manipulate their
respective network adapters.
If you edit the PROTOCOL.INI file to fine-tune network device driver
options, be sure to precede hexidecimal numeric values with and
enclose hex-based strings in double quotation marks ( ). For
example:
Also, be sure that any TCP/IP addresses do not have periods between
the entries.
For more information about the PROTOCOL.INI file, see the
Microsoft/3Com Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS), version
2.01.
The LANMAN.INI File
The LANMAN.INI file for LAN Manager for OS/2 is different from
the LANMAN.INI file for LAN Manager Enhanced and LAN Manager
Basic for MS-DOS. In all cases, when you use the Setup program to
install LAN Manager, it automatically edits LANMAN.INI, specifying
the protocol or monolithic driver(s) you have installed.
For more information about the LANMAN.INI file, see Appendix B,
“The LANMAN.INI File.”
