Explanation
The adapter needs to be rebooted before the upgrade takes
effect. The Managed Driver Upgrade executable can force the
system to reboot after it completes. Set /boot=y if you want the
system to reboot. Set /boot=n if you do not want the system to
reboot. The default is /boot=y.
There are times when you might want to revert to a previous
version of a driver. Set /down=y in these cases. Set /down=n to
prevent an older driver from being accidentally installed over a
newer driver. The default is /down=n. Windows NT 4.0 does
not support this option.
Controls the logging ability of the Managed Driver Upgrade
executable. /file=y will generate a log file in the same directory
where the executable resides. /file=n suppresses logging. The
default is /file=y
Customizes the name of the log file. The name can be any
valid Windows filename. The default name is MYOUT.DAT.
