NDIS Configuration Options
Setting the Interface
The
Interface
and
Interface Mode
options are grayed on the
Module
menu when an
NDIS module is the currently selected module. The
Identify
option on the
Module
menu is grayed and does not function when the current module is an NDIS module.
Set Capture Buffer and Packet Slicing Size
The capture buffer memory size can be set in increments that double from 64K to
16MB. To set the buffer size, select the
Buffer Size
tab from the
Configuration ->
Module Settings
menu and click the radio button corresponding to the buffer size.
Since the buffer uses virtual memory, the system is not required to have more
physical memory than the buffer size (e.g., you can set the buffer size to 16MB on a
machine with 8MB of memory).
