Number of Physical layer re-initializations every time you change link parameters using NDD this increments.

Revision ID of the GigaSwift Ethernet device useful for recognition of device being used in the field.

GMII/MII Physical layer device address for management interface.

GMII/MII Physical layer device Identification Decimal copy of MII registers 2 and 3.

Copy of the Loopback mode the device is in, if any.

When zero, the TX queues operate in a simple round robin queueing scheme, based on TCP/UDP destination port number. If set the TX queues operate in a scheme designed to provide VLAN priorities.

Number of times that the driver attempted to transmit a packet.

Number of times a page table entry was not available to allow the driver to map the kernel memory to device accessible memory for transmission.

Number of packets queued for transmission on the first hardware transmit queue.

Number of packets queued for transmission on the second hardware transmit queue.

Number of packets queued for Transmission on the third hardware transmit queue.

Number of packets queued for Transmission on the fourth hardware transmit queue.

Maximum number of transmits pending on any of the four queues.

Number of packets received that were less than 256 bytes.

Number of packets received that were greater than 256 bytes and less than 1514 bytes.

Number of packets that were split across two pages.

Number of times the hardware cannot post completion entries for received data.

Number of times the hardware cannot receive data because there is no more receive buffer space.

Number of pages that got replaced during reception.
