Chapter 9 Network Device Driver Options 189
HP Ethertwist EISA LAN Adapter/32
Required entry:
• drivername = hplane$ or hplanen$
The following table summarizes the possible entries and values in the
[hplane] section of the LAN Manager PROTOCOL.INI file:
Entry Units Range Default
adapterslot integer 1–7 —
drivername — — hplane$ or hplanen$
maxhwtrans integer 2–20 8
maxicnest integer 1–4 2
maxmulticast integer 1–50 5
maxswtrans integer 1–10 2
Entries in the [hplane] section of the LAN Manager PROTOCOL.INI
file have the following meanings:
adapterslot
Specifies the slot number of the network adapter.
drivername
Identifies the driver name of the network device driver. The base
portion of the filename, plus a digit when more than one adapter is
installed, is the drivername. The drivername is hplane$ for the first
adapter, hplane2$ for the second, and so on.
maxhwtrans
Indicates the number of full-sized transmit packets that can be
simultaneously stored in the adapter-transmit queue. Each transmit
packet consumes 1536 bytes; remaining adapter memory is used for
the receive-ring buffer. This parameter partitions the adapter memory
into a transmit queue and a receive-ring buffer.
maxicnest
Limits the interrupt nesting depth of the driver. This value is the
number of outstanding indication-complete calls that the driver will
allow itself to be interrupted into. When the limit is reached, the
driver will stop processing receive indications until an outstanding
indication-complete has returned. Higher values will use greater
amounts of stack space.
