## 1 Overview

    The driver yukodi.com is the Novell ODI 16-bit DOS Client MLID driver
    for the Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet Adapter.

## 2 Required Files

        YUKODI.COM			the driver
        YUKODI.INS			installation skript for Novell VLM client
        NET.CFG			SAMPLE configuration file

        latest VLM client from Novell

## 3 Installation

    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 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter".
    6.  In the following setup dialog choose your "Frame Type" and the
        other parameters.
    8.  After savig the setup with <F10>, the driver gets installed.
    9.  Finish the installation of the Netware Client Installation.
    10. You can modify the driver parameters later as described in the next
        section.

## 4 Driver Parameters

    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. When
        the driver is called with the argument '-l' (see below) it shows bus
        and device numbers for the supported adapters in the system.

    Connection type

        CONTYPE   <contype>

        This parameter can be used to force link speed and duplex mode.
        Using other values than AUTO turns off auto-negotiation and is not
        recommended.
        Possible values are:

        AUTO
        100FD
        100HD
        10FD
        10HD

    Check Link mode

        CHECK_LINK

        When this parameter has been specified the driver uses the first
        supported adapter in the system with a valid link. This parameter
        conflicts with BUSNUM and DEVNUM and will be ignored when BUSNUM
        and DEVNUM are used. When using CHECK_LINK you can load the driver
        only once.
        Calling the driver with the argument '-l' (see below) will show
        all supported adapters and their link status.

    Number of receive and transmit buffers

        RECEIVE BUFFERS  [1..5]
        TRANSMIT BUFFERS [1..5]

        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 6.

## 5 Command line arguments

    yukodi.com can be started with the following arguments:

    YUKODI     - Installs the LAN driver
    YUKODI S   - Shows status of all resident LAN drivers in memory
    YUKODI U   - Unloads resident LAN driver from memory
    YUKODI ?   - Displays help screen
    YUKODI L   - Lists supported devices with bus and device number and
                  link status

## 6 Sample Installation/Configuration

    Sample startnet.bat (in the nwclient installation directory):

        SET NWLANGUAGE=ENGLISH
        C:\NWCLIENT\LSL.COM
        C:\NWCLIENT\yukodi.com
        C:\NWCLIENT\IPXODI.COM
        C:\NWCLIENT\VLM.EXE

    Sample net.cfg (in the nwclient installation directory):

        Link Driver YUKODI
           FRAME ETHERNET_802.2
           BUSNUM 2
           DEVNUM 1
