Link Driver Option
NOTE: † Currently, no LAN drivers supporting this frame type are available in the NetWare
Client for DOS and MS Windows Client kit. Contact third-party vendors for details.
You can specify more than one frame type statement for a single driver.
For example, you can specify that an Ethernet NE2000 board can use both
Ethernet_802.2 and Ethernet_802.3 frame types.
802.2 is the type of communications sent on one network, and 802.3 is the
type of communication sent on the other network.
Ethernet LAN Drivers
For Ethernet, enable Ethernet_802.3, Ethernet_II, and Ethernet_802.2 frame
types.
You can use up to four frame types for a single Ethernet cable segment.
You can use either four network boards each with one frame type defined, or
you can use one network board with four frames defined, or any similar
combination.
Token-Ring LAN Drivers
For token ring, enable token ring frame types.
