INTEL NIC driver options

Hi,

where can I check/edit the INTEL NIC driver settings and options - especially the flow control option (enable/disable)??

I think I have trouble with enabled flow control (dropped packets) and so I want to disable flow control on switch AND DSS NIC ...

Thanx!

From the DSS console you can use Cntrl+Alt+T and option 7 'Modify Driver Options'.
You can then choose the adapter to see its options. (Not all intel options are available to change)
Some info is here: http://www.intel.com/support/network/sb/cs-009209.htm

ok, thanx!

What's the default on DSS: enabled or disabled flowcontrol?

In newer cards the default is 'on', with no option to disable.
In older cards the option may be available via Cntrl+Alt+T options.
If I could look at your logs from DSS, I may be able to tell you what the settings currently are.
