AT-2900 Series Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapters Installation Guide

The Default is spurious fix = 1 (spurious fix is on). Choices are:

Spuriousfix=0 Spuriousfix=1 (default).

Poll

To disable interrupt driven mode in the driver set Poll=1 and the driver will not use interrupts, but will be polled by the NetWare OS. This is a common feature supported in NW. The poll mode may increase driver performance in some environments.

Choices are: Poll=1 (ON)

Poll=0 (OFF) (default).

WireSpeed

This feature provides adapter link & data integrity even when attached to a questionable cable and/or switch. For example; an adapter trying to run 1000 speed on a cat3 cable ordinarily would not link. With the WireSpeed=1, the link will occur at 100Mbs.

Choices are:

WireSpeed=1 (ON) (Default) WireSpeed=0 (OFF).

Model

This keyword is to allow the addition of a sub-system ID of a specific NIC so that the driver loads only on the first NIC found with a matching sub-system ID.

e.g., MODEl= 0x14e4 Default = 0

MagicP

When the MagicP=1 the driver will enable the adapter to wake up the system when a magic packet is received after the system is shutdown. MagicP=0 is the default setting with the adapter having no wake up ability.

Choices are: MagicP=0 (default) MagicP=1

Fiber

The driver has support for the 1000FD fiber adapter. The fiber autonegotiates link with a fiber switch even though it only supports 1000FD. In some cases the user may want to force the adapter to 1000FD.

Choices are: Fiber=AUTO (default) Fiber=FORCE
