41Valid Range: 0-1
42Default Value: 1 (TX and RX will be paired onto one interrupt vector)

44If set to 0, when MSI-X is enabled, the TX and RX will attempt to occupy
45separate vectors.

47This option can be overridden to 1 if there are not sufficient interrupts
48available. This can occur if any combination of RSS, VMDQ, and max_vfs
49results in more than 4 queues being used.

56 0 - n: where n is the number of the NUMA node that should be used to
57 allocate memory for this adapter port.
58 -1: uses the driver default of allocating memory on whichever processor is
59 running insmod/modprobe.

61 The Node parameter will allow you to pick which NUMA node you want to have
62 the adapter allocate memory from. All driver structures, in-memory queues,
63 and receive buffers will be allocated on the node specified. This parameter
64 is only useful when interrupt affinity is specified, otherwise some portion
65 of the time the interrupt could run on a different core than the memory is
66 allocated on, causing slower memory access and impacting throughput, CPU, or
67 both.

74 A link between two EEE-compliant devices will result in periodic bursts of
75 data followed by long periods where in the link is in an idle state. This Low
76 Power Idle (LPI) state is supported in both 1Gbps and 100Mbps link speeds.
77 NOTE: EEE support requires autonegotiation.
