• Interrupt on Flow Attention (Bit 28) causes a host
interrupt when an enabled flow attention occurs
• Interrupt on DMA Attention (Bit 27) causes a host
interrupt when an enabled DMA attention occurs
• Interrupt on MAC Attention (Bit 26) causes a host
interrupt when an enabled MAC attention occurs
• Interrupt on RX RISC Attention (Bit 25) causes a
host interrupt when an enabled RX-RISC attention
occurs
