protocol.ini question

This is the protocol.ini file I used for my last ghost usb boot key to boot a laptop model iwth the pro/100 VE chipset built in. Now I have some brand new Dell 5150's with the same chip but the protocol ini can't find it. I am getting "error: unable to locate nic" in PC-DOS. Anyone know how to find out what "slot" my nic is in so I can try specifying it?
