58 controller. The data in the descriptor is used by the controller to write
59 data from the controller to host memory. In the 3.x.x driver the valid range

92 Configuring the Driver on Different Distributions
95 Configuring a network driver to load properly when the system is started is
96 distribution dependent. Typically, the configuration process involves adding
99 distributions ship with tools to make these changes for you. To learn the
101 distribution documentation. If during this process you are asked for the
102 driver or module name, the name for the Linux Base Driver for the Intel
105 As an example, if you install the e100 driver for two PRO/100 adapters
106 (eth0 and eth1), add the following to a configuration file in /etc/modprobe.d/
114 console, you must set the dmesg level up to six. This can be done by
115 entering the following on the command line before loading the e100 driver:
119 If you wish to see all messages issued by the driver, including debug
120 messages, set the dmesg level to eight.
128 The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
137 WoL is provided through the ethtool* utility. For instructions on enabling
138 WoL with ethtool, refer to the ethtool man page.
140 WoL will be enabled on the system during the next shut down or reboot. For
141 this driver version, in order to enable WoL, the e100 driver must be
142 loaded when shutting down or rebooting the system.
147 NAPI (Rx polling mode) is supported in the e100 driver.
154 Due to the default ARP behavior on Linux, it is not possible to have
155 one system on two IP networks in the same Ethernet broadcast domain
