Creating .NIF Files

Network information (.NIF) files contain information needed by the

Setup program to install and coordinate network adapter drivers.

To add a network adapter driver, create a .NIF file in the following

format:

Entries in a .NIF file have the following meanings:

model

A descriptive name for the network adapter. The Setup program

displays this information in the “Network Drivers” and “Import

Network Drivers” dialog boxes. The name can use any characters and

be any length; the Setup program displays only the first 36 characters.

path

The pathname for the directory in which the driver and its associated

PROTOCOL.INI file are located. The Setup program appends path

to the end of lanroot\DRIVERS, where lanroot is the LAN Manager

root directory (usually C:\LANMAN or C:\LANMAN.DOS). When

the Setup program installs the driver on a hard disk, this directory will

be created if it does not already exist.

devicedriver

The name of the device driver with appropriate options to be added as

a device line in the CONFIG.SYS file. You can have more than one

devicedriver line if the device driver requires other device drivers to

be loaded as well. If the device driver is in the path listed in path, use

only the filename. If the file is not in the path directory, use the

variable @lanroot and the relative path of the file. The Setup program

expands the string @lanroot to the path of the LAN Manager root

directory (usually C:\LANMAN or C:\LANMAN.DOS). For

example, @lanroot\SAMPLCRD\SAMPLCRD.OS2 would typically

expand to C:\LANMAN\SAMPLCRD\SAMPLCRD.OS2.

devicename

The name by which the driver is listed in the LANMAN.INI file

netx=devicename entry. This entry is required only for monolithic

drivers.
