CUSTOM KEYWORDS for the driver in protocol.ini:

BUSNUM
DEVNUM
FUNCNUM or PORTNUM

The first two keywords are used concurrently and have been included
for manufacturing purposes.  Do not use them unless you are familiar
with PCI device configuration.
These two keywords are needed if multiple NetXtreme boards are on a
system and (a) specific NetXtreme adapter/s need to be loaded in
specific order.  BUSNUM specifies the PCI bus number and DEVNUM
specifies the device number given to the board when configured by the
PCI BIOS.  A PCI device scan utility is needed to find this info.
The values are in decimal.

Example of the use of these key words in the protocol.ini:

[B57]
    DriverName = "B57$"
    BusNum = 3
    DevNum = 14
    PortNum = 2

To add more adapter(up to 4) repeat the below entry, where n can be
from 1 to 3.

[B57_n]
    DriverName = "B57$"
    BusNum =
    DevNum =

Example of using addition entries to load more than one adapter in
the protocol.ini:

[B57]
    DriverName = "B57$"
    BusNum = 3
    DevNum = 10

[B57_1]
    DriverName = "B57$"
    BusNum = 3
    DevNum = 11

[B57_2]
    DriverName = "B57$"
    BusNum = 3
    DevNum = 12

[B57_3]
    DriverName = "B57$"
    BusNum = 3
    DevNum = 13
