3.4.2 Configuring Parameters for the B57.com Driver
(in the Net.cfg file)
The following are optional custom keywords used in the Net.cfg file:
BUSNUM
DEVNUM
FUNNUM
SUBVID
MODEL
The first two keywords (BUSNUM and DEVNUM) are used concurrently and have been
included for manufacturing purposes. Do not use them unless you are familiar with PCI device
configuration. These two keywords are needed if multiple D-Link NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet
adapters are installed in a system, and each adapter must be loaded in a specific order.
BUSNUM specifies the PCI bus number and DEVNUM specifies the device number that is
assigned to the adapter when it is configured by the PCI BIOS.
The values for these adapter parameters are displayed in hexadecimal notation when the
driver loads (the Net.cfg file expects hexadecimal values). A PCI device scan utility can also
be used to find this information. If the driver loads on a single adapter, the displayed values
can be used in the Net.cfg file.
If a PCI scan utility displays adapter 1 at bus 4 and device 11 (hexadecimal), and adapter 3
at bus 3 and device 13 (hexadecimal), the following load instructions are written to the
Net.cfg file (load adapter 3 first, and optionally load adapter 1 second):
LINK DRIVER B57
BUSNUM 3
DEVNUM 13 (13 hex = 19 decimal)
LINK DRIVER B57
BUSNUM 4
DEVNUM 11 (11 hex = 17 decimal)
