The exact wording of these parameters varies with different computers.
Removing an Existing Adapter in Windows 95

Push Installation for Windows 95
If you are a LAN administrator setting up server-based push installation of
Windows 95 as defined in Microsoft Windows 95 Resource Kit, you’ll need to
follow additional steps for this adapter. Refer to the Push Installation for
Windows 95 readme file on the Intel support web site.
Fast Ethernet Wiring
100BASE-TX Specification: The 100BASE-TX specification supports 100
Mbps transmission over two pairs of Category 5 twisted-pair Ethernet (TPE)
wiring. One pair is for transmit operations and the other for receive operations.
Segment lengths are limited to 100 meters with 100BASE-TX for signal timing
reasons. This complies with the EIA 568 wiring standard.
Boot Agent
The Boot Agent is a utility program that is stored in a flash memory chip on the
adapter, allowing the adapter to remotely boot the system from the network
using either of 2 methods. The default method is PXE, a remote boot procedure
defined by the “Wired for Management” specifications and used by powerful
network management programs, such as Intel® LANDesk(R) Management
suite. The alternate method is RPL, an established industry standard historically
utilized for remote booting of diskless workstations from network operating
systems such as NetWare* and Windows NT* Server.
Computers do not need to be Wake on LAN enabled to use this feature, and the
feature will work with or without the 3-pin auxiliary power connector attached.
