18 | This driver is developed for the SMC EtherPower series Ethernet | |
19 | cards and also works with cards based on the DECchip | |
20 | 21040 (Tulip series) chips. Some LinkSys PCI cards are | |
21 | of this type. (If your card is NOT SMC EtherPower 10/100 PCI | |
22 | (smc9332dst), you can also try the driver for "Generic DECchip" | |
23 | cards, below. However, most people with a network card of this type | |
24 | will say Y here.) Do read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from | |

35 | help | |
36 | Setting this value allows to align ring buffer descriptors into their | |
37 | own cache lines. Value of 4 corresponds to the typical 32 byte line | |
38 | (the descriptor is 16 bytes). This is necessary on systems that lack | |
39 | cache coherence, an example is PowerMac 5500. Otherwise 0 is safe. | |
40 | Default is 0, and range is 0 to 31. | |

73 | help | |
74 | Use PCI shared memory for the NIC registers, rather than going through | |
75 | the Tulip's PIO (programmed I/O ports). Faster, but could produce | |
76 | obscure bugs if your mainboard has memory controller timing issues. | |

83 | NAPI is a new driver API designed to reduce CPU and interrupt load | |
84 | when the driver is receiving lots of packets from the card. It is | |
85 | still somewhat experimental and thus not yet enabled by default. | |
86 | ||
87 | If your estimated Rx load is 10kpps or more, or if the card will be | |
88 | deployed on potentially unfriendly networks (e.g. in a firewall), | |

97 | Use HW to reduce RX interrupts. Not strictly necessary since NAPI |
