Windows 98 Network Adapter INF Summary

This section presents details about the settings for common network adapters, as defined in the [netcard.NDI] sections of the INF files provided with Windows 98. Other adapters are also listed; their settings can be found in the appropriate file in the Windows INF directory. The Net.inf file contains the master information for detecting and configuring network adapters. The specific INF files for network adapters include the following:

Net3com.inf
Netamd.inf
Netcable.inf
Netcpq.inf
Netdec.inf
Netee16.inf
Netflex.inf
Netgen.inf
Nethp.inf
Netibm.inf
Netmadge.inf
Netncr.inf
Netnice.inf
Netnovel.inf
Netoli.inf
Netppp.inf
Netprot.inf
Netracal.inf
Netsmc.inf
Netsmctr.inf
Nettcc.inf
Nettulip.inf
Netub.inf
Netxir.inf

For information about how to find entries for a particular network adapter in an INF file, see "[netcard_ID]" earlier in this appendix.
