Driver configuration

Use the Network Configuration Manager to configure a driver.

• You will be prompted for any information that the system cannot detect automatically. You must supply parameters that match those that are defined for the adapter and do not conflict with the settings that are already in use by other hardware installed on your system. See ``Configuration parameters'' for more information.

• The Network Configuration Manager checks that network driver parameters do not conflict with those of any other installed driver. If a conflict is found, the Network Configuration Manager notes it with an asterisk (). Some hardware configurations may be prone to conflicts between networking and other components; for more information, see ``Checking for conflicts between hardware and drivers''.

• For some software-configurable ISA adapters, the Network Configuration Manager first configures the driver, then writes driver configuration parameters to the adapter.

  See ``Supported network adapters by manufacturer'' for configuration information specific to your network adapter.
