Dear All,
I have an intel gigabit ethernet card. When I install it on windows
2000, I can click on network connections select the card and change
stuff like jumbo frames, "Receive descriptors" and "Interupt Moderate
Rate". Now I have also a linux machine, debian 4.0 and kernal 2.6.
When I plug in the card it seems that there are debian drivers already
that comes along with debian. I can then set it to jumbo frames by
setting the mtu value. But I have no clue how I should set the
"receive descriptors" and "Interupt Moderate Rate" value in linux. I
have had a look at the intel site and saw some drivers there too. I am
a bit confused actually. Does it mean that I need the intel drivers
for linux in order to set all these special features ? Or does the
driver that comes along with the debian installation CD includes these
features. I am quite new in linux, so I have no clue what I am suppose
to do. The only thing I know to do in linux is by using ifconfig. How
can I check if I need to specifically install the intel drivers ? How
do I check if I can set the "special" feature using the driver that
comes along with debian. How do I chekc what driver is it used and
what funcitonalities can be set ? Please help me out as I need to set
those features.
Thanks in advance for helping me out.
