and VLAN.
o Default = Priority & VLAN Enabled
o Range = Priority & VLAN Disabled; Priority & VLAN Enabled; Priority Enabled; VLAN Enabled
• Receive Buffers. The size, in bytes, of the receive buffers that the hardware can support. This size is
hardware-dependent and can include data buffers, buffer descriptors, and so on.
o Default = 256
• Smart Power Down. (NC110T, NC360x, and NC364T only) Minimizes power consumption by
enabling the adapter to enter a deep sleep mode under certain conditions.

• TCP Checksum Offload (IPv6). Describes whether the device enabled or disabled the calculation of
TCP checksum over IPv6 packets.
o Default = Rx/Tx Enable
o Range = Disable; Tx Enable; Rx Enable; Rx/Tx Enable
• Transmit Buffers. The size, in bytes, of the transmit buffers that the hardware can support. This size is
hardware-dependent and can include data buffers, buffer descriptors, and so forth.

• Wait for Link. Determines if the driver waits for auto-negotiation to be successful before reporting the
link state. If disabled, the driver does not wait for auto-negotiation. If enabled, the driver does wait
