Enables the use of batching receives within a specific time period. Min = 0 (disabled) Max = 5000000 (5 seconds) Units are in microseconds and the default value is 300. TxTicks= Enables the use of a transmit tick threshold interrupt within a specific time period. Min = 0 (disabled) Max = 5000000 (5 seconds) Units are in microseconds. The default value is 200. TxPacketsPer= Enables allowing an interrupt to occur after a specific amount of packets is transmitted. Min = 0 (disabled) Max = 100 The default value is 20. RxPacketsPer= Enables allowing an interrupt to occur after a specific amount of packets is received. Min = 0 (disabled) Max = 100 The default value is 75. CheckSum= Enables or disables the transmit and receive checksum offload feature. Checksum offload support is only for TCP/IP packets; therefore, the default setting for checksum offload is OFF. OFF ON TX RX TxFlow= This keyword allows enabling/disabling of transmit flow control. ON OFF (default) RxFlow= This keyword allows enabling/disabling of receive flow control. ON OFF (default) PDriver= Enables the driver to operate in persistent driver mode. Use only if the adapter is placed in a hot-plug slot and only if you must swap with an adapter that is exactly the same. OFF (default)
