0 - Autoconfigure (Default)
1 - Half duplex
2 - Full duplex

0 - Autoconfigure (Default)
10 - Force 10-Mbps media speed
100 - Force 100-Mbps media speed
max_tx_lsts, max_rx_lsts, tx_threshold: These properties tune driver performance. The valid values are:
Property |
Valid Values |
Default Value |
---|---|---|
max_tx_lsts |
4 to 16 |

max_rx_lsts |
4 to 16 |

The UTP interface is the default (0).
board_id: Set this property to support additional EISA/PCI controllers. The format of the board_id is 0xVVVVDDDD, where VVVV means vendor ID and DDDD, device ID. More than one ID can be specified, if required.
To activate the configuration changes, as root type:
# touch /reconfigure # reboot |
