4.6.5 Common Firmware Pointer
Word 54h is used to point to firmware structures common to pass through, and non-manageability
modes.
1 Clear Tx Error 0b Should be set when Tx path is stuck because of an
underflow condition Cleared by hardware when release
is done.
0 Enable Tx Pads 0b When set, the NC-SI Tx pads are driving, else they are
isolated.

6 NC-SI_en 0b Enable the MAC internal NC-SI mode of operation
(disables external NC-SI gasket).
5 Two_part_deferral 0b When set, perform the optional two part deferral.
4 Append_fcs 1b When set, compute and append FCS on TX frames.
3 Pad_enable 1b Pad the TX frames, which are less than the minimum
frame size.
2 Rtry_col 0b Retry frames on collision until the max retry limit is
reached. Note that this bit has no effect when working
in full duplex.
1 Half Duplex 1b Half-duplex mode of operation, when set. Else Full
duplex is assumed.
