Configuration Reference
NOTE:
The suspend/resume feature is not supported unless Card and Socket Services
software (or its equivalent under Windows 95 or Windows NT) supports CardBus
and is running on the PC Card computer.
Power Management Guidelines
HotSwap and suspend/resume operations are subject to limitations dictated
by the network operating system. See the documentation for your network
operating system to determine how long the network will wait for activity
before dropping a connection, and whether this time period is user
configurable.
Full-Duplex Transmission
The PRO/100 CardBus adapter hardware and network drivers are designed
to support full-duplex operation, or the ability to transmit and receive on the
network at the same time. This feature is only available when the Adapter is
connected to full-duplex switches.
If your network supports full-duplex operation, activate the CardBus feature
by including the keyword LINEMODE=FULL in the configuration file or
on the command line for your network driver.
NOTE:
To use full-duplex capabilities, your network must have full-duplex hardware in
place and enabled. If you use the LINEMODE=FULL keyword without full-duplex
hardware, the network will become unusable due to excessive collisions.
Advanced Look-Ahead Pipelining
The PRO/100 CardBus adapter also uses pipelining technology to improve
performance. Advanced Look-Ahead Pipelining allows for processing and
transmission of packets before the entire packet has been loaded into
memory, resulting in significant gains in performance. This feature is
enabled automatically, without user intervention.
