Required entry:
• drivername = smc_eth$
The following table summarizes the possible entries and values in the
[smc_eth] section of the LAN Manager PROTOCOL.INI file:
Entry Units Range Default
drivername — — smc_eth$
interrupt integer 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10 3

Entries in the [smc_eth] section of the LAN Manager PROTOCOL.INI
file have the following meanings:
drivername
Identifies the driver name.
interrupt
Identifies the interrupt level of the network adapter.
micro_channel
Identifies the system type and displays it at the system startup time on
the console. If the system type is not correct because of some possible
incompatibility, enter 1 to force the system to be a PS2, or 0 to force
the system to be an AT/XT type.
port_num
Specifies the I/O port address for the network adapter. This value
must match the adapter’s settings.
xt_type
Forces the driver to consider an AT computer to be an XT. Setting
this parameter to 1 permits the adapter configured for an 8-bit
operation to work in an 8-bit slot in an AT.
