Asus PCI Express x1 Network Interface PEB-G21 User Manual page 28

If you are performing an initial installation of NetWare 4.2/5.x/6.0 and have more
than two adapters installed, the install program will allow you to allocate the actual
number of packet receive buffers needed by the adapter. During installation, the
RxBuffers value should be set to 32, the minimum number of buffers the driver
requires for each adapter. Although this setting affects adapter performance, it
allows installation of the operating system and up to eight adapters during initial
install. After installation is complete, you need to increase the number of buffers
allocated to the driver.
15. After NetWare 5.x/6.0 has been successfully installed, set the minimum packet
receive buffers parameter in the startup.ncf file to 1500 for each adapter in
the system. Set the maximum packet receive buffers to three times the
minimum packet receive buffers. Typically 4 MB of RAM is required per 1000
receive buffers.
16. In the autoexec.ncf file, delete the packet receive buffers parameter
(RxBuffers=32) in the load statement for this adapter. Deleting the receive
buffers phrase from the load statement resets the receive buffers parameter
to the default value of 200 for this adapter.
The server must be restarted for the new configuration.
