Entries in the [rmateth] section of the LAN Manager PROTOCOL.INI
file have the following meanings:
adaptoraddress
Defines the base port address of the adapter. Base port address is set
on the adapter by means of jumpers. If omitted, the driver attempts to
automatically detect the base port address of the adapter. This entry
must be included if the machine has more than one driver. Possible
values for this entry are: 0x300, 0x320, 0x340, and 0x360.
drivername
Identifies the device driver name. The driver name consists of the base
portion of the filename, plus a digit if more than one adapter is
installed. The drivername is rmateth$ for the first adapter,
rmateth2$ for the second, and so on.
maxrequests
Defines the number of requests that can be queued by the driver.
maxtransmits
Specifies the number of transmit queue entries in this driver.
stationaddress
Defines the network address of the adapter. The value of this entry is
a hexadecimal string of 12 digits. If this entry is omitted, the driver
uses the default network address (unique to each adapter) which is
hardwired onto the adapter.
