RUNNING LinkNegProc
----------------

LinkNegProc must be run with one parameter as follows:

    LinkNegProc <option>

<option> is one of the following:

    AUTO     - configures the driver to auto-negotiate with the link partner if the selected
               link speed is 10Mbps or 100Mbps
    FORCED   - configures the driver to force the Speed and Duplex if the selected
               link speed is 10Mbps or 100Mbps

<option> may optionally be preceded by a '-' or '/' character.

NOTES:
------

* LinkNegProc must be run with administrator rights under operating systems
  that require such rights to update the system registry.
  
* LinkNegproc updates the system registry only for Intel(R) 825679LM and 82579V Gigabit Network Connection 
  adapters.  Other Intel network adapters are not affected by this applet.

* If the Link Negotation Process driver parameter (LinkNegotiationProcess)  is not already present in the
  registry, it will be added. 

* If there are no supported Intel adapters or all drivers are already
  configured to use the <option> setting, no changes are made to the registry.

* The new Link Negotiation Process setting will not take effect until the adapter 
  driver is stopped and restarted. This may require the system to be rebooted
  depending on the version of Windows.

* Running LinkNegProc with no parameters will display a usage message box that
  requires the user to press the OK button to exit the utility.  No user input
  is required if IntModeration is run with one of the supported parameters.
