Introduction
================================
This file describes the bxndspi.dll Windows NetDirect provider DLL for the Broadcom NetXtreme-E BCM574xx, BCM575xx, BCM576xx Ethernet Network
Controllers. This DLL supports the NDv2 COM interface.

To install, copy the bxndspi.dll file to the %systemroot%\system32 folder. Open an administrator cmd.exe prompt and use the below commands to
install or remove the provider. Use exact spacing! No space after comma, see below:

rundll32.exe bxndspi.dll,Config remove|more

optionally the provider can be installed using the included INF file. From Windows explorer, right click on the INF, and select Install.


Update
================================
If a new version of bxndspi.dll becomes available, it can copied directly over the existing bxndspi.dll file when no NDSPI applications are active.
If any NDSPI applications are active the copy will fail. Close those applications and try again. Removing and reinstalling the provider is not required
