    CBNDIS4 NDIS 4.0 miniport driver Configuration Reference
                       for Windows NT 4.0


* Parameters

   To overwrite the driver's default values,
   add or edit the following values in the Registry
   CB100<adapter_number> Parameters subtree by
   using the Registry Editor. The Registry Editor can be executed by
   typing "regedit" at Start-up menu -> Run, and press <return>.

            CacheLineSize = REG_DWORD { 32 | 64 | 128 }

                        32 bytes (default)
                        64 bytes
                        128 bytes

            ExtraReceiveBuffers = REG_DWORD {value} (default: 16)

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

            ExtraReceivePackets = REG_DWORD {value} (default: 100)

                        Number of packets preallocated by the
                        driver.

            InterruptMitigation = REG_DWORD  {0 | 1}

                        0  Disabled (default)
                        1  Enabled

                        Enable/disable the Interrupt Mitigation
                        algorithm.

            InterruptThreshold = REG_DWORD {value} (default: 500)

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

            FrameThreshold = REG_DWORD {value} (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 = REG_DWORD { 0 | 1 }  

                        0  Disabled
                        1  Enabled  (default)

                        Enable/disable PCI Memory Read Multiple command.
                        MRM should be enabled when the CB100 is connected
                        to the TI1130 PCI/CardBus bridge.

            EXT_MRL = REG_DWORD { 0 | 1 }

                        0  Disabled
                        1  Enabled  (default)

                        Enable/disable PCI Memory Read Line command.

            EXT_MWI = REG_DWORD { 0 | 1 }

                        0  Disabled
                        1  Enabled  (default)

                        Enable/disable PCI Memory Write and Invalidate command.

            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 = REG_DWORD {8..64} (default: 16)

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

            UnderrunRetry = REG_DWORD  number_of_retries  (default=2)

                        Maximun number of retransmission attempts of
                        an underrun packet.

            UnderrunThreshold = REG_DWORD  number_of_underruns (default=10)  (21140 and 21143/2 only)

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

            BurstLength = REG_DWORD  { 0 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 | 16 | 32 }

                        0  unlimited
                        1  doubleword
                        2  doublewords
                        4  doublewords
                        8  doublewords
                       16  doublewords   (default)

                        0 Disabled (default)
                        1 Enabled

            StoreAndForward = REG_DWORD { 0 | 1 }  

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

                        1 Enabled
                        0 Disabled (default)

            TransmitThreshold = REG_DWORD { 72 | 96  | 128 | 160 }

                        Transmit Threshold values for 10Mbps media.

                        72 bytes
                        96 bytes (default)
                        128 bytes
                        160 bytes

            TransmitThreshold100 = REG_DWORD { 128 | 256 | 512 | 1024 }

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

                        128 bytes
