1.These bits are read from the EEPROM

The Ethernet controller allows for up to two externally controlled interrupts. The upper two software-definable pins, SDP[7:6] (SDP[3:2] for the 82541xx and 82547GI/EI), can be mapped for use as GPI interrupt bits. These mappings are enabled by the SDPx_GPIEN bits only when these signals are also configured as inputs via SDPx_IODIR. When configured to function as external interrupt pins, a GPI interrupt is generated when the corresponding pin is sampled in an active-high state.

The bit mappings are shown in Table 13-11for clarity.
