  18           This driver is developed for the SMC EtherPower series Ethernet
  19           cards and also works with cards based on the DECchip
  20           21040 (Tulip series) chips.  Some LinkSys PCI cards are
  21           of this type.  (If your card is NOT SMC EtherPower 10/100 PCI
  22           (smc9332dst), you can also try the driver for "Generic DECchip"
  23           cards, below.  However, most people with a network card of this type
  24           will say Y here.) Do read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from

  36           Setting this value allows to align ring buffer descriptors into their
  37           own cache lines. Value of 4 corresponds to the typical 32 byte line
  38           (the descriptor is 16 bytes). This is necessary on systems that lack
  39           cache coherence, an example is PowerMac 5500. Otherwise 0 is safe.
  40           Default is 0, and range is 0 to 31.

  74           Use PCI shared memory for the NIC registers, rather than going through
  75           the Tulip's PIO (programmed I/O ports).  Faster, but could produce
  76           obscure bugs if your mainboard has memory controller timing issues.

  82         help
  83           NAPI is a new driver API designed to reduce CPU and interrupt load
  84           when the driver is receiving lots of packets from the card. It is
  85           still somewhat experimental and thus not yet enabled by default.
  86
  87           If your estimated Rx load is 10kpps or more, or if the card will be
  88           deployed on potentially unfriendly networks (e.g. in a firewall),

  97           Use HW to reduce RX interrupts. Not strictly necessary since NAPI
  98           reduces RX interrupts by itself. Interrupt mitigation reduces RX
  99           interrupts even at low levels of traffic at the cost of a small
 100           latency.
