  IBM PCI ETHERNET ADAPTER RELEASE NOTES
  ______________________________________

  During testing of the IBM PCI Ethernet Adapter, many environments were tested
  to ensure correct operation.  The following sections describe the
  recommendations that resulted from the testing.


  SETTING THE ADAPTER DEFAULT VALUES WITH IBM LANAID

  The LANAID program found on the PCI Ethernet Adapter IBM LANAID Diskette
  can be used to change the adapter's default values from their factory
  settings.  LANAID does not alter any device driver parameters.  Parameters
  specified during device driver loading will override the default values.

  DIAGNOSTICS WITH IBM LANAID

  When a Network Driver has been loaded, a cold boot may be necessary to
  reset the adapter to a state that LANDAID does not detect the presence
  of the Network Driver.

  The LANAID program diagnostics tests leaves the IBM PCI Ethernet Adapter
  configured for the AUI port at the completion of the diagnostics.
  In this configuration, the LEDs output will be based on the AUI port
  connection.  The Link Status LED will be inactive.  The port connection
  will remain in the AUI state until a adapter device driver is loaded or
  the system is rebooted.

  SETTING THE PCI INTERRUPT IN THE IBM VALUEPOINT P/60D

  For the IBM ValuePoint P/60D Model 6384, use interrupt 9 for the PCI
  interrupt.  Refer to your computer's documentation for instructions on how to
  set the PCI interrupt.

  SETTING THE PCI INTERRUPT IN THE IBM PC 750 P-100

  For the IBM PC 750 P-100 Model 6885, do not use interrupt 11 for the PCI
  interrupt.  Refer to your computer's documentation for instructions on how to
  exclude specific interrupts from being selected by the PCI BIOS.


  NETWARE ENVIRONMENT

  In some server machines you may get the following message when you specify the
  BUSTYPE parameter on the LOAD command:

      "Specified bus name is not supported."

  This message does not indicate a problem and will not prevent the driver from
  loading.  You can ensure that the driver loaded successfully by typing
  "CONFIG" on the NetWare console command line.

  The parameter DMAPLUS can be used to improve operation in machines where the
  PCI system bus is heavily loaded.  For server machines,  specify DMAPLUS as
  a parameter on the LOAD command.  For client machines, specify DMAPLUS as a
  parameter in the NET.CFG file.  With some versions of Netware server you may
  get the following message when you specify the DMAPLUS parameter on the
  LOAD command:

     "Unneeded DMA number ignored."

  This message does not indicate a problem and will not prevent the driver
  from loading or the parameter from being recognized.
