802.1p/Q Tagging

Shown in Figure 10-2,
enabling this feature allows
for quality of service packet
tagging when connected to a
network switch that supports
quality of service. Therefore,
this feature should only be
enabled when connecting to
such a switch. If connecting
to a switch that does not sup-
port quality of service, dis-
able this feature.

Checksum Offload

Enabling Checksum Offload
(shown in Figure 10-3)
allows the Adapter to calcu-
late the IP Checksum, rather
than having the operating
system perform this compu-
tation. This provides a slight
increase in PC performance.
