Syntax: ADVERTISE = [1 | 2 | 4 | 8 | 0x20 | 0x2F]:
0x01 = 10 Half, 0x02 = 10 Full, 0x04 = 100 Half, 0x08 = 100 Full, 0x20 = 1000 Full,
0x2F = all rates
Example: ADVERTISE = 1
Default: 0x2F (all rates are supported)
Normal Beha-
vior:
By default all speed/duplex combinations are advertised.
Possible
Errors:
An error message is displayed if the value given is out of range.
FLOWCONTROL
This parameter, which refers to IEEE 802.3x flow control, helps prevent packets from being dropped and can
improve overall network performance. Specifically, the parameter determines what flow control capabilities
the adapter advertises to its link partner when auto negotiation occurs. This setting does NOT force flow
control to be used. It only affects the advertised capabilities.
NOTES:
l Due to errata in the 82542 silicon, the chip is not able to receive PAUSE frames if the
ReportTxEarly parameter is set to 1. Thus, if ReportTxEarly =1 and the driver is running on
an adapter using this silicon (such as the PWLA8490), the driver will modify the FlowControl
parameter to disable the ability to receive PAUSE frames.
l If half-duplex is forced or auto-negotiated, the driver will completely disable flow control.
Syntax: FLOWCONTROL = [0 | 1 | 2 | 3 |0xFF]
Example: FLOWCONTROL = 1
Default: 3
Normal Behavior: 0 = Disabled (No flow control capability)
1 = Receive Pause Frames (can receive and respond to PAUSE frames)
2 = Transmit Pause Frames (can send PAUSE frames)
3 = Both Enabled (can send and receive PAUSE frames)
0xFF = Hardware Default.
Possible Errors: An error message is displayed if the value given is out of range.
USELASTSLOT
This parameter causes the driver to load on the device in the last slot found in the slot scan. The default
behavior of the driver is to load on the first adapter found in the slot scan. This parameter forces the driver to
load on the last one found instead.
