: Normally this field should be left blank, causing the
driver to use the unique pre-assigned Ethernet address supplied with
the card. However, it can be used to override the Ethernet address
used by the port if you wish to administer Ethernet addresses locally
according to the IEEE 802.2 specification.

:
The default is set to Auto-Negotiation so that the
card will automatically choose the best type of connection available.
However, if the other node does not support the standard IEEE auto-
negotiation protocol, or does not implement it properly, it may be
necessary to force a particular connection type (10BASE-T or 100BASE-T,
Full or Half Duplex). Note that if you disable Auto-Negotiation and
force the connection type on the P430, you must also force the
connection type on the device at the other end of the cable.

:
Indicates the number of packets that can be received
by the NIC and stored in the host's memory while waiting to be processed
by the NetWare protocol stacks bound to the P430 driver. The default
value is 10 receive buffers for each P430 port. Increasing this value
may improve performance and reduce the likelihood of packet loss on
heavily-loaded servers.
N O T E :
If you increase this value for any of the P430 ports, or if you have
more than one NIC in the system, then you may have to increase
the systemwide "Minimum Packet Receive Buffers" and/or "Maximum
Packet Receive Buffers" settings; otherwise one or more of the P430
driver instances you configured may not load successfully. The
Minimum and Maximum Packet Receive Buffers settings must both
be at least as large as the sum of the Receive Buffers settings for all
the P430 ports in the system. Use the NetWare MONITOR program
and select "Server parameters", then choose the "Communications"
category, and edit the fields labeled "Maximum Packet Receive
Buffers" and "Minimum Packet Receive Buffers."
