Spuriousfix=
When this keyword is set to 1 (Spurious Fix is ON), the spurious interrupts count that is sometimes displayed on the NetWare
console may be reduced. Setting this keyword to 0 (Spurious Fix is OFF) may enhance performance.
Spuriousfix = 0 (Spurious Fix is off)
Spuriousfix = 1 (Spurious Fix is on)
The default value is 1 (Spurious Fix is on).
Poll=
Disables the interrupt driven mode. When set to Poll=1, the driver does not use interrupts, but is polled by the NetWare
operating system. This is a common feature supported in NetWare. The poll mode may increase driver performance in some
environments.
Poll = 1 (on)
Poll = 0 (off)
The default value is 0 (Poll mode is off).
Wirespeed=
This feature provides adapter link and data integrity even if the adapter is attached to a questionable cable and/or switch.
For example, an adapter that is trying to connect at 1000 Mbit/s on a Category 3 cable ordinarily would not link. With
Wirespeed set to 1, the link is made at 100 Mbit/s.
Wirespeed = 1 (on)
Wirespeed = 0 (off)
The default value is 1 (Wirespeed is on).
Model=
This keyword allows the addition of a subsystem ID of a specific NIC so that the driver loads only on the first NIC found with
a matching subsystem ID. For example, MODEl= 0x14e4. The default value is 0
MagicP=
When MagicP=1, the driver enables the adapter to wake up the system when a Magic Packet™ frame is received after the
system is shut down. MagicP=0 is the default setting with the adapter having no wake-up ability.
MagicP = 1 (on)
MagicP = 0 (off)
The default value is 0 (No wake-up capability).
Fiber=
The driver has support for the 1000FD fiber adapter. The fiber auto-negotiates link with a fiber switch even though it only
supports 1000FD. In some cases, the user may want to force the adapter to 1000FD.
