drivername
Identifies the network device driver. The drivername is elnkmc$ for
the first EtherLink/MC adapter, elnkmc2$ for the second, and so on.
maxtransmits
Specifies the number of transmit queue entries in this driver. For an
OS/2 server, multiply the transmit window size by the maximum
number of sessions.
netaddress
Overrides the network address of the network adapter. Use this entry
only when there are duplicate addresses on the network. The value of
this entry is a hexadecimal string of 12 digits enclosed in quotation
marks, such as "02608C010001".
slotnumber
Specifies the number of the slot in the computer where the network
adapter resides. The default is the lowest-numbered slot that contains
an EtherLink/MC adapter. When the computer has more than one
EtherLink/MC adapter, the adapter in the lowest-numbered slot can
use the default; for any other adapter(s), specify a slot number.
