Version 1.10

MaxPacketSize

The maximum size, in bytes, of the packets supported by the
network interface.

NvRamSize

The size, in bytes, of the NVRAM device attached to the
network interface. If an NVRAM device is not attached to the
network interface, then this field will be zero. This value must
be a multiple of

NvramAccessSize

.

NvRamAccessSize

The size that must be used for all NVRAM accesses. This
means that the start address for NVRAM read and write
operations, and the total length of those operations, must be a
multiple of this value. The legal values for this field are 0, 1, 2,
4, 8. If the value is zero, then no NVRAM devices are attached
to the network interface.

ReceiveFilterMask

The multicast receive filter settings supported by the network
interface.

ReceiveFilterSetting

The current multicast receive filter settings. See “Bit Mask

Values for

ReceiveFilterSetting

” below.

MaxMCastFilterCount

The maximum number of multicast address receive filters
supported by the driver. If this value is zero, then the multicast
address receive filters cannot be modified with ReceiveFilters().
This field may be less than

MAX_MCAST_FILTER_CNT

(see

below).

MCastFilterCount

The current number of multicast address receive filters.

MCastFilter

Array containing the addresses of the current multicast address
receive filters.

CurrentAddress

The current HW MAC address for the network interface.

BroadcastAddress

The current HW MAC address for broadcast packets.

PermanentAddress

The permanent HW MAC address for the network interface.

IfType

The interface type of the network interface. See RFC 1700,
section “Number Hardware Type.”

MacAddressChangeable

TRUE

if the HW MAC address can be changed.

MultipleTxSupported

TRUE

if the network interface can transmit more than one packet

at a time.

MediaPresentSupported

TRUE

if the presence of media can be determined; otherwise

FALSE

. If

FALSE

,

MediaPresent

cannot be used.

MediaPresent

TRUE

if media are connected to the network interface; otherwise

FALSE

. This field is only valid immediately after calling

Initialize()

.
