The header region is required by the PCI 2.2 specification. These registers must be implemented. The
capabilities registers are optional; however, they must adhere to section 6.7 of the PCI SIIG 2.2 specification.
Each capability has a unique ID, which is well-defined. The capabilities are chained using the Next Caps field,
in the capability register. The last capability will have a Next Caps field, which is zeroed.
The Device-Specific registers are shown in Ta b le 47.
Indirect Mode
Host software may use Indirect mode to access the Ethernet controller resources, without using Memory
Mapped I/O. Indirect mode shadows MAC resources to PCI configuration space registers. These shadow
registers can be read/written by system software through PCI configuration space registers. The Ethernet
controller Indirect mode registers expose the following MAC resources:
•Registers
• Local Memory
• Mailboxes
Indirect mode access can be used in conjunction with Standard mode PCI access. Indirect mode has no
interdependency on other PCI access modes and is a mode in itself.

register (see “Miscellaneous Host Control Register (offset: 0x68)” on page 282) to enable indirect
mode.
