SPD_BYPS 15 0
Speed Select Bypass
When set to 1b, all speed detection mechanisms are bypassed,
and the Ethernet controller is immediately set to the speed
indicated by CTRL.SPEED. This might be used to override the
hardware clock switching circuitry and give full control to
software. SPD_BYPS differs from the CTRL.FRCSPD function
in that FRCSPD uses the internal clock switching circuitry rather
than an immediate forcing function of the speed settings, as
does SPD_BYPS.
IPS1 16 0
Invert Power State Bit 1
Inverts the polarity of bit 1 of the PWR_STATE signal when set
to 1b.
Configurable through the EEPROM.
RO-DIS 17 0
Relaxed Ordering Disabled
When set to 1b, the Ethernet controller does not request any
relaxed ordering transactions in PCI-X mode regardless of the
state of bit 1 in the PCI-X command register. When this bit is
clear and bit 1 of the PCI-X command register is set, the
Ethernet controller requests relaxed ordering transactions as
described.
