    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.

    NETWORKADDRRES - 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.
