            ExtraReceiveBuffers = { 0 | 16 | 32 | 64 | 128 }

                        Number of buffers allocated by the
                        driver in the Receive look_aside list.

                        128 bytes

            ExtraReceivePackets = { 16 | 32 | 64 | 100 | 200 }

                        Number of packets preallocated by the
                        driver.

                        16 packets
                        32 packets
                        64 packets
                        100 packets (default)
                        200 packets

            InterruptMitigation = {Enabled | Disabled} (default - Disabled)

                        Enable/disable the Interrupt Mitigation
                        algorithm.

            InterruptThreshold = {number_of_interrupt/second} (default: 500)

                        Maximum number of interrupt/second allowed before
                        the Receive and Transmit interrupts get masked.
                        Meaningfull only when InterruptMitigation is enabled.

            FrameThreshold = {number_of_frame/second} (default: 400)

                        Minimum number of processed frame/second allowed
                        before the Receive and Transmit interrupts get
                        unmasked.
                        Meaningfull only when InterruptMitigation is enabled.


            EXT_MRM = { Disabled | Enabled } (default - Enabled)

                        Enable/disable PCI Memory Read Multiple command.
                        MRM should be enabled when the DC21X4 is connected
                        to the TI1130 PCI/CardBus bridge.
                        The default is Enabled.

            EXT_MRL = { Disabled | Enabled } (default - Enabled)

                        Enable/disable PCI Memory Read Line command.
                        The default is Enabled.

            EXT_MWI = { Disabled | Enabled } (default - Enabled)

                        Enable/disable PCI Memory Write and Invalidate command.
                        The default is Enabled.

            Due to incompatibility problems with certain PCI host bridges
            and PCI-to-PCI bridges, the driver currently does not enable
            the Memory Write Invalidate (MWI) and Memory Read Line (MRL) commands
            simultaneously. The driver will only enable one of the two commands;
            by default, MRL will be enabled.


            ReceiveBuffers = { 8 | 16 | 32 | 48 | 64} (default - 16)

                        Number of buffers allocated by the
                        driver in the Receive ring.

            UnderrunRetry =  {2,4,6,8} (default - 2)

                        Maximun number of retransmission attempts of
                        an underrun packet.

            UnderrunThreshold = {10,20,50,100} (default - 10)

                        Maximun number of underrun occurences before the
                        controller switches to the next threshold value.

            NoCableIndication =  {Enabled | Disabled} (default - Disabled)

                        Check the LinkStatus before sending a packet and
                        retrieves NDIS_STATUS_NO_CABLE if there is not Link
                        indication. When it is disabled, it will retrieve the
                        NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS message (workaround for the Win95
                        wrapper handling problem of the NO_CABLE status message).


            BurstLength =  { 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 | 16 | 32 }

                        32  doublewords   


            SnoozeMode =    {Enabled|Disabled} (default - Disabled)

                        0 Disabled
                        1 Enabled


            StoreAndForward =  {Enabled|Disabled} (default - Disabled)

                        Select the StoreAndForward mode if high
                        PCI latencies causes 100Mbps Transmit Underruns

                        1 Enabled
                        0 Disabled

            TransmitThreshold = {72 | 96 | 128 | 160} (default - 96)

                        Transmit Threshold values for 10Mbps media.

                        72 bytes
                        96 bytes        (default)
                        128 bytes
                        160 bytes

            TransmitThreshold100 =  {128 | 256 | 512 | 1024} (default - 128)

                        Transmit Threshold values for 100Mbps media.
                        Meaningless when StoreAndForward is set

                        128 bytes
                        256 bytes
                        512 bytes
                        1024 bytes

How To Update Drivers Manually

After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.

  • Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).

  • If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.

  • Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.

  • Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.

  • Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

  • From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.

  • Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.

Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
