This PROTOCOL.INI file was generated by the install/config procedure
which comes with IBM's MultiProtocol Transport System (MPTS/2), which is a
multi-protocol replacement for their Lan Adapter Protocol System (LAPS).
LAPS OR MPTS/2 contains all adapter drivers, .inf files, and other
files necessary to communicate with the adapter cards IBM supports.
The OS/2 drivers provided with the GVC NIC2000 card are apparently
meant to be used with MicroSoft's version of OS/2.
You WILL have to download the latest NIC2000 drivers from GVC to get
the newest NIC2000.INF file. GVC has a BBS at (201) 579-2380. You can
connect using 14400, 9600, 4800, 2400, or 1200 baud, 8 data bits, no
parity, 1 stop bit (9600,8,n,1 for example). This phone number is on
the questionnaire that came with the card. I've included it here in
case you've sent the questionnaire in.
However, you will have a problem when you try to configure your system
using LAPS or MPTS. Under the heading [NIC2000_nif] below, there
should be only THREE lines, in all caps! If you delete the last two
lines (maxtransmits = 8 and xmitbufs = 2), you will no longer get the
error "Keyname not found." and the NIC2000.OS2 driver will load.
DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$
[IBMLXCFG]
landd_nif = landd.nif
NIC2000_nif = nic2000.nif
[landd_nif]
DriverName = LANDD$
Bindings = NIC2000_nif
ETHERAND_TYPE = "I"
SYSTEM_KEY = 0x0
OPEN_OPTIONS = 0x2000
TRACE = 0x0
LINKS = 8
MAX_SAPS = 3
MAX_G_SAPS = 0
USERS = 3
TI_TICK_G1 = 255
T1_TICK_G1 = 15
T2_TICK_G1 = 3
TI_TICK_G2 = 255
T1_TICK_G2 = 25
T2_TICK_G2 = 10
IPACKETS = 250
UIPACKETS = 100
MAXTRANSMITS = 6
MINTRANSMITS = 2
TCBS = 64
GDTS = 30
ELEMENTS = 800
[NIC2000_nif]
DriverName = NIC2000$
interrupt = 3
ioaddress = 0x300
maxtransmits = 8
xmitbufs = 2
Be aware, if you modify your configuration, such as to add NETBIOS
support in addition to ETHERNET, you will have to edit your
PROTOCOL.INI again. MPTS put all five lines back just like you see
them above when I added NETBIOS to my configuration!
The last section of your PROTOCOL.INI file should look like this:
[NIC2000_nif]
DRIVERNAME = NIC2000$
INTERRUPT = 3 (Or whatever you have IRQ jumpered to)
IOADDRESS = 0x300 (Or whatever you have address jumpered to)
This worked for me, I hope it works for you, too.
