ReceiveChain, HostBuffered
Tells the network device driver to copy frames into a separate
buffer in the computer’s memory (not part of the network
adapter’s RAM or the protocol driver’s buffer) until the protocol
driver can copy them. If you use this option, receivebuffers must
contain the number of buffers and receivebufsize must contain the
size of each buffer.
permanentaddr
Overrides the network address of the network adapter. Use this entry
only when there are duplicate addresses on the network. The value is
a hexadecimal string of 12 digits enclosed in quotation marks. The
address must be in the range 400000000000 through 40007FFFFFFF.
For strict IBM compatibility, use only decimal digits (0–9), as in
"400001020304."
slotnumber
If there is more than one NIUps network adapter installed, the
PROTOCOL.INI file contains more than one [ubnei] section. For
each section, this entry contains the slot number of the corresponding
NIUps network adapter. This entry is ignored if adaptertype is not
NIUps.
