 Introduction
 
    The PCI Family NDIS driver programs included in the driver diskette.
    These driver programs comply with Microsoft's NDIS v2.0.1 specification.
    The following text files describe the installation procedure for some of
    the most popular operating systems supporting NDIS drivers.

    D-Link NDIS driver program for DOS follows the Microsoft's NDIS spec v2.0.1.
    The following document files detail the installation procedure for some of 
    the most popular operating systems supporting NDIS drivers:

    The systems listed above are just some of the network operating
    systems that support the NDIS driver.  Newer versions of these systems
    might have already been released in the market.  In general, any system
    that uses the NDIS 2.0.1 driver is functionally compatible with the NDIS
    drivers included in the driver diskette.

 User's Guide
 
    This guide lists the available PROTOCOL.INI keywords for all NDIS device
    drivers. Most of the keywords are optional and come with their respective
    default values. The asterisk symbol (*) indicates where the keyword
    applies.

    DRIVERNAME     - This keyword specifies the driver name for the adapter.

    NETWORKADDRESS - This keyword specifies the node address (in hex) used by 
                     the adapter. This option is used only to override the 
                     node address stored in the adapter. With this keyword 
                     specified, the specified address will be used instead of 
                     the adapter's actual node address.

    DATA_RATE      - This parameter specifies the configuration of data rate of
                     the network adapter. If DATA_RATE does not specified, 
                     it will auto detect the date rate.

    SLOT           - This parameter specifies the slot number used for 
                     notifications. For PCI slot, you can specify from 1 to 
                     16.

    SIA_MODE       - This parameter specifies the connector type configuration 
                     of the network adapter card.
