Extensible Firmware Interface Specification
15-2 12/01/02 Version 1.10
Parameters
Revision Revision of the EFI_SIMPLE_NETWORK Protocol. All future revisions
must be backwards compatible. If a future version is not backwards
compatible it is not the same GUID.
Start Prepares the network interface for further command operations. No
other
EFI_SIMPLE_NETWORK interface functions will operate until
this call is made. See the Start() function description.
Stop Stops further network interface command processing. No other
EFI_SIMPLE_NETWORK interface functions will operate after this call
is made until another Start() call is made. See the Stop() function
description.
Initialize Resets the network adapter and allocates the transmit and receive buffers.
See the
Initialize() function description.
Reset Resets the network adapter and reinitializes it with the parameters
provided in the previous call to
Initialize() . See the Reset()
function description.
Shutdown Resets the network adapter and leaves it in a state that is safe for another
driver to initialize. The memory buffers assigned in the
Initialize() call are released. After this call, only the
Initialize() or Stop() calls may be used. See the
Shutdown() function description.
ReceiveFilters Enables and disables the receive filters for the network interface and, if
supported, manages the filtered multicast HW MAC (Hardware Media
Access Control) address list. See the
ReceiveFilters() function
description.
StationAddress Modifies or resets the current station address, if supported. See the
StationAddress() function description.
Statistics Collects statistics from the network interface and allows the statistics to
be reset. See the
Statistics() function description.
MCastIpToMac Maps a multicast IP address to a multicast HW MAC address. See the
MCastIpToMac() function description.
NvData Reads and writes the contents of the NVRAM devices attached to the
network interface. See the
NvData() function description.
GetStatus Reads the current interrupt status and the list of recycled transmit buffers
from the network interface. See the
GetStatus() function
description.
Transmit Places a packet in the transmit queue. See the Transmit() function
description.
