Where n = Ethernet_802.2, Ethernet_802.3, Ethernet_II, Ethernet_SNAP
o
Default = Ethernet_802.2

POLL. This keyword is used to enable polling mode in the driver with interrupt backup. If polling is
enabled, interrupts will be reduced, allowing the processor to spend more time performing other
functions. In polling mode, interrupts will occur only when receive resources have been reduced to
less than half. If polling is not enabled, the driver will perform in traditional interrupt mode.
o
Syntax: POLL=n
o
Where n = 0 (interrupt mode), 1 (polling mode with interrupt backup)
o
Default = 0 (interrupt mode)
NOTE:
The POLL parameter is for the N100.LAN, N1000.LAN, and N1000e.LAN drivers.
•
SPURIOUS. This keyword is used to reduce the number of spurious interrupts reported by the OS on
the driver interrupt line. This automatically loads for 10, 100, and 1000 adapters.
o
Syntax: SPURIOUS=n
Where n = 0 or 1
0—Driver operates in normal mode
1—Driver operates to reduce the number of spurious interrupts
o
Default = 1
NOTE:
The minimum threshold for acceptable number of spurious interrupts is 200 interrupts
per second, which is the default value of the environmental variable "set display spurious
interrupt alerts threshold."
•
RXCHECKSUM. This keyword is used to enable or disable the offload of Receive Packet Checksum
verification to the adapter. This automatically loads for 10/100 adapters.
o
Syntax: RXCHECKSUM=n
Where n = 0 or 1
0—Does not offload Rx Checksum verification to the adapter
1—Offloads Rx Checksum verification to the adapter
Default = 0

Syntax: balance_interval=nnn
o
Description: Changes Balance interval, nnn counts 1/18 sec
•
