   Configuring the Driver on Different Distributions
   -------------------------------------------------
 
-  Configuring a network driver to load properly when the system is started is

-    This value represents the maximum number of interrupts per second the

-    interrupt moderation. Dynamic mode uses a heuristic algorithm to adjust 
-    InterruptThrottleRate based on the current traffic load.
-Un-supported Adapters: InterruptThrottleRate is NOT supported by 82542, 82543
-    or 82544-based adapters.
-
-    NOTE: InterruptThrottleRate takes precedence over the TxAbsIntDelay and 
-          RxAbsIntDelay parameters. In other words, minimizing the receive 
-          and/or transmit absolute delays does not force the controller to 
-          generate more interrupts than what the Interrupt Throttle Rate 
-          allows.
-    CAUTION: If you are using the Intel PRO/1000 CT Network Connection 
-             (controller 82547), setting InterruptThrottleRate to a value 
-             greater than 75,000, may hang (stop transmitting) adapters under 
-             certain network conditions. If this occurs a NETDEV WATCHDOG 
-             message is logged in the system event log. In addition, the 
-             controller is automatically reset, restoring the network 
-             connection. To eliminate the potential for the hang, ensure 
-             that InterruptThrottleRate is set no greater than 75,000 and is 
-             not set to 0.
-    NOTE: When e1000 is loaded with default settings and multiple adapters are 
-          in use simultaneously, the CPU utilization may increase non-linearly. 
-          In order to limit the CPU utilization without impacting the overall 
-          throughput, we recommend that you load the driver as follows:
-
-              insmod e1000.o InterruptThrottleRate=3000,3000,3000
-
-          This sets the InterruptThrottleRate to 3000 interrupts/sec for the 
-          first, second, and third instances of the driver. The range of 2000 to 
-          3000 interrupts per second works on a majority of systems and is a 
-          good starting point, but the optimal value will be platform-specific. 
-          If CPU utilization is not a concern, use RX_POLLING (NAPI) and default 
-          driver settings.

+Valid Range:   80-256 for 82542 and 82543-based adapters
+               80-4096 for all other supported adapters
 Default Value: 256
-    This value is the number of receive descriptors allocated by the driver. 
-    Increasing this value allows the driver to buffer more incoming packets. 
-    Each descriptor is 16 bytes.  A receive buffer is allocated for each
-    descriptor and can either be 2048 or 4096 bytes long, depending on the MTU 
 
-    setting. An incoming packet can span one or more receive descriptors. 
-    The maximum MTU size is 16110.
+This value specifies the number of receive descriptors allocated by the
+driver. Increasing this value allows the driver to buffer more incoming
+packets.  Each descriptor is 16 bytes.  A receive buffer is also
+allocated for each descriptor and is 2048.
 
-    NOTE: MTU designates the frame size. It only needs to be set for Jumbo 
-          Frames.
-    NOTE: Depending on the available system resources, the request for a
-    higher number of receive descriptors may be denied.  In this case,
-    use a lower number.
 
 RxIntDelay
-Valid Range: 0-65535 (0=off)
+----------
+Valid Range:   0-65535 (0=off)
 Default Value: 0
-    This value delays the generation of receive interrupts in units of 1.024 
-    microseconds.  Receive interrupt reduction can improve CPU efficiency if 
-    properly tuned for specific network traffic. Increasing this value adds 
-    extra latency to frame reception and can end up decreasing the throughput 
-    of TCP traffic. If the system is reporting dropped receives, this value 
-    may be set too high, causing the driver to run out of available receive 
-    descriptors.
-
-    CAUTION: When setting RxIntDelay to a value other than 0, adapters may 
-             hang (stop transmitting) under certain network conditions. If 
-             this occurs a NETDEV WATCHDOG message is logged in the system

-Valid Range: 0-65535 (0=off)
+
+This value delays the generation of receive interrupts in units of 1.024
+microseconds.  Receive interrupt reduction can improve CPU efficiency if
+properly tuned for specific network traffic. Increasing this value adds
+extra latency to frame reception and can end up decreasing the throughput
+of TCP traffic. If the system is reporting dropped receives, this value
+may be set too high, causing the driver to run out of available receive
+descriptors.
+
+CAUTION:  When setting RxIntDelay to a value other than 0, adapters may
+          hang (stop transmitting) under certain network conditions. If
+          this occurs a NETDEV WATCHDOG message is logged in the system
+          event log. In addition, the controller is automatically reset,
+          restoring the network connection. To eliminate the potential
+          for the hang ensure that RxIntDelay is set to 0.

+  Half)
+  modprobe e1000 AutoNeg=0x020 (Restricts autonegotiation to 1000 Full)
+  modprobe e1000 AutoNeg=32 (Same as above)
 
-Note that setting AutoNeg does not guarantee that the board will link at the 
-highest specified speed or duplex mode, but the board will link at the 
-highest possible speed/duplex of the link partner IF the link partner is also
-set to auto-negotiate. If the link partner is forced speed/duplex, the

+Note that when this parameter is used, Speed and Duplex must not be specified.
+
+If the link partner is forced to a specific speed and duplex, then this
+parameter should not be used.  Instead, use the Speed and Duplex parameters
+previously mentioned to force the adapter to the same speed and duplex.
