adapter. This value must match the actual IRQ setting
on the adapter. If this keyword is not specified, the
default value (3) will be put into effect.

       DRIVERNAME- This keyword specifies the driver name for the
adapter.

       NETADDRESS- This keyword specifies the node address (in hex) used
by the adapter. This option is used only to override
the node address stored in the adapter. With this
keyword specified, the specified address will be used
instead of the adapter's actual node address.

       CONNECTIONTYPE - This keyword specifies the connector that used by
the adapter. The default value is NWAY.

= NWAY : Adapter will auto detect the speed mode
and duplex mode.

= S100 : User forces the media to 100BASE-TX HALF
DUPLEX mode.

= S10 : User forces the media to 10BASE-T HALF
DUPLEX mode.
