Readme File for yukodi.com v9.55.1.3 DOS ODI Driver supporting
the Marvell Yukon Ethernet Controller
This file contains
The driver yukodi.com is the Novell ODI 16-bit DOS Client MLID driver
for the Marvell Yukon Ethernet Controller.
YUKODI.COM the driver
YUKODI.INS installation skript for Novell VLM client
NET.CFG SAMPLE configuration file
latest VLM client from Novell
When installing the VLM package for DOS follow the steps below to
install yukodi.com:
1. Start the Netware Client Installation.
2. Start the dialog for choosing the driver for your network adapter.
3. Select "OTHER DRIVERS".
4. Enter the path where the files yukodi.com and yukodi.ins are located.
5. Select "Marvell Yukon Ethernet Controller".
6. In the following setup dialog choose your "Frame Type" and the
other parameters.
7. After savig the setup with <F10>, the driver gets installed.
8. Finish the installation of the Netware Client Installation.
9. You can modify the driver parameters later as described in the next
section.
The driver will run on that port that first came up with a link when the
driver is loaded. It does not switch if the current port loses its link
and the other comes up.
If none of the ports has a link at the time the driver is loaded, it will
setup port A in case a cable is plugged in after loading the driver.
After the installation of the driver, there will be an entry in the
net.cfg in your nwclient installation directory that identifies your
adapter:
LINK DRIVER YUKODI
It is followed by one or more parameters. Beside the standard
parameters from Novell client the driver supports the following
parameters.
Frame type (mandatory)
FRAME <Frame-Type>
This parameter specifies the Ethernet frame types for your network.
Possible values are:
ETHERNET_II
ETHERNET_802.3
ETHERNET_802.2
ETHERNET_SNAP
Bus and device number (optional)
BUSNUM <busnum>
DEVNUM <devnum>
With these parameters you can specify the network adapter the
driver should bind on. This is useful, when there is more than
one adapter in the system.
The bus and device numbers are assigned by the BIOS at boot time.
Connection type
CONTYPE <contype>
This parameter can be used to force link speed and duplex mode.
The value 1000 limits the speed capabilities in auto-negotiation
to 1000 MBps. Using other values than AUTO or 1000 turns off
auto-negotiation and is not recommended.
Possible values are:
AUTO
1000
100FD
100HD
10FD
10HD
Number of receive and transmit buffers
RECEIVE BUFFERS [1..3]
TRANSMIT BUFFERS [1..3]
These parameters specify how many transmit and receive buffers the
driver shall use. Using more buffers might improve the performance
but the driver will consume more memory.
The sum of receive and transmit buffers cannot be greater than 4.
Designated port (optional)
HWPORT = A
Possible values: A, B, L(default)
On controllers with two ports, the driver will use the port that is
selected (Port A or B) or it will use the port that has a link.
On controllers with only one port, this parameter will be ignored and
defaults to 'A'.
If the parameter CHECKLINK is selected at the same time, the parameter
PORT is automatically reset to 'L'.
