*********************************
*  NDIS PROTOCOL.INI User Guide *
*********************************

  This guide lists the available PROTOCOL.INI keywords for all
  NDIS device drivers.	Most of the keywords are optional
  and have default values.  The asterisk symbol (*) indicates the
  list of adapters where the keyword is applicable.

  IOADDRESS - This keyword specifies the base I/O port address used
	      by the Network Interface Card. This value must
	      match the base I/O address jumper setting on your NIC.
	      If this keyword is not present, the default value will
	      be 300h.

  INTERRUPT - This keyword specifies the interrupt line used by the
	      NIC. This value must match the IRQ jumper setting
	      on your NIC.  If this keyword is not present, the default
	      value will be 3.

  DRIVERNAME- This keyword specifies the NIC driver's name.

  NETADDRESS- This keyword specifies the node address (hex) used by
	      your network interface card.  This option is used only
	      if you want to override the node address burned in your
	      NIC.  In this case, the specified address will be used
	      instead of the NIC's actual node address.

  MEDIA     - This keyword specifies the media of adapter connected to
	      the network. It can be AUTODETECT, TP, BNC, AUI.
