Extensible Firmware Interface Specification
E-60 12/01/02 Version 1.10
E.4.8 Reset
This command resets the network adapter and reinitializes the UNDI with the same parameters
provided in the Initialize command. The transmit and receive queues are emptied and any pending
interrupts are cleared. Depending on the state of the OpFlags, the receive filters and external
interrupt enables may also be reset.
Resetting the network device may take up to four seconds and in some extreme cases (usually poor
cables) up to twenty seconds. Control will not be returned to the caller and the
COMMAND_COMPLETE status flag will not be set until the NIC is ready to transmit.
E.4.8.1 Issuing the Command
