Register configuration space information fields are needed to identify a board in a slot to a driver. The functional purpose of the board, the manufacturer, the revision, and several bus requirements can be obtained by inspecting these parameters. The PCI configuration space uses these registers which are called out in the PCI Local Bus Specification. These enable the PCI system to:

- Identify the ThunderLAN controller. This includes setting the interrupt as- signed to ThunderLAN.

-Map the host registers using either the I/O base address register or the memory base address register. The driver uses the address contained in these registers to access ThunderLAN's internal registers.
