Observations

This file contains the description of the NetWare(R) and Broadcom
parameters/keywords accepted by the Broadcom NetXtreme(R) Gigabit and Fast
Ethernet adapter NetWare(R) Server (.LAN) driver.

TxDescriptors=
This is to initialize Descriptor resources on the adapter for transmits.
Min = 32
Max = 512
Default = 200

RxBuffers=
This is to pre-allocate receive ECBs & Receive adapter resources. This setting
may be affected by the Netware server maximum/minimum packet receive buffer settings.
Note: RxBuffers must be set to 32 when using DOS Client32.
Min = 32
Max = 512
Default = 200

Speed=
This keyword is to force the line speed of the adapter using a cat-5 cable.
When this keyword is used, the switch to which the adapter cable is connected
must also be forced to the same speed.
The best way to ensure good connectivity is to not set the speed keyword and
allow for automatic link setup (auto-negotiation).
Choices are :
0=Auto, 10=10Mbs, 100=100Mbs.
Default is Auto. Please note that the 1000Mbs is autonegotiate only and
cannot be forced except on FIBER adapters.

Duplex=
To force the cable to half or full duplex this keyword must be used with
the Speed keyword.
Choices are :
1= half duplex, 0 or 2 = full duplex.
Default is full duplex.

Link=
This keyword is used to allow for autonegotiation using the Speed keyword as the
advertised speed. When set to FORCE, the Speed keyword is forced. When the Speed
keyword is AUTO, normal autonegotiation takes place.
It is best to allow for autonegotiation between the card and switch, by not setting
this keyword or the Speed keyword.
Choices are:
AUTO, FORCE
Default is FORCE.

RxTicks=
This is to enable the use of a receive "tick" interrupt within a
specific time period.
Min = 0, disabled
Max = 5000000, 5 seconds
Units are in micro seconds
Default is 300

Observations

This file describes the SCO OpenServer Release 5 driver for the Broadcom
NetXtreme BCM5700 series 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet Network Interface Controller.

Driver Software Package
=======================
The driver is released as a media image file containing the driver package. This
media image file can be copied to the target machine directly for installation,
or a floppy installation disk can be made.

Creating Floppy
===============
1. Copy the file VOL.000.000 to an SCO system.
2. Create the floppy using dd if=VOL.000.000 of=/dev/rfd0135ds18

Installing Driver
=================
Use custom or scoadmin software to install the driver from the media image or
from the floppy created above. After the package is installed, use netconfig to
add the new network adapter and configure network protocol and address. Once
the adapter is added, modify the hardware configuration in Advanced Options to
change line speed and flow control if desired. The different settings of these
parameters are listed below:

LineSpeed: AutoNegotiate (default) (all speeds advertised)
FixedHalfDduplex10
AutoHalfDduplex10 (only 10 Mbps half duplex advertised)
FixedFullDduplex10
AutoFullDduplex10 (only 10 Mbps full duplex advertised)
FixedHalfDduplex100
AutoHalfDduplex100 (only 100 Mbps half duplex advertised)
FixedFullDduplex100

Observations

This note shows the different line commands to run unattended "silent" install/Uninstall(s) for the Broadcom Management Applications installer.
NOTES:
======
- All commands are case sensitive
- User must "Run as Administrator" for Windows Vista when using "msiexec" for "silent" install/uninstall(s).
- .NET Framework 2.0 is required for Broadcom Advanced Control Suite (BACS) 3 to operate. Running BACS 3 without .NET Framework 2.0 installed will result in an error.

Silent Install (or upgrade) from within the installer source folder:
setup /s /v/qn <-- This will install the most common features, BACS and BASP.

Silent Install AND create a log file at (f:\1testlog.txt):
setup /s /v"/qn /L f:\1testlog.txt"

Silently Uninstall from any folder on the hard drive:
msiexec /x "{A46301E0-9B88-4BB0-8D2B-DDB4834D9219}" /qn
"Note: The hexidecimal number above may differ from your current installer. Please check the Key name corresponding with the Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 3 (BACS) application in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall for the correct hexidecimal number."
Note: After silently uninstalling it is necessary to reboot the system before reinstalling this installer. If a reboot is not performed, BASP will not install correctly.

Silent Install by Feature on IA32 Platforms: Use the ADDSOURCE to include any of the features listed below.
setup /s /v"/qn ADDSOURCE=BACSi32,BASPi32,SNMPi32,CIMi32"

Silent Install by Feature on AMD64/EM64T Platforms:
setup /s /v"/qn ADDSOURCE=BACSa64,BASPa64,SNMPa64,CIMa64"

Silent Install by Feature on IA64 Platforms:
setup /s /v"/qn ADDSOURCE=BACSi64,BASPi64"

Silent Install from within a batch file and "wait" for the install to complete before continuing with the next commandline:
start /wait setup /s /w /v/qn

If performing a silent upgrade, your system may reboot automatically. If you wish to suppress the reboot, please use the command:
setup /s /v"/qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These installers will not upgrade existing installations of Broadcom Management and Driver Apps; therefore, the existing installer must be removed and doing so will lose any settings and customizations.
