Full-Duplex Runt Packet Accept
Disable. When FDRPAD is set to
ONE and full-duplex mode is en-
abled, the PCnet-PCI II controller
will only receive frames that meet
the minimum Ethernet frame
length of 64 bytes. Receive DMA
will not start until at least 64 bytes
or a complete frame have been
received. By default, FDRPAD is
cleared to ZERO. The PCnet-
PCI II controller will accept any
length frame and receive DMA
will start according to the pro-
gramming of the receive FIFO
watermark.

AUI full-duplex. AUIFD enables
full-duplex operation on the AUI

FDEN (BCR9, bit 0) is set to
ONE. If the FDEN bit is ZERO,
the AUI port will always operate
in half-duplex mode. If FDEN is

When FDEN is set to ONE, the
PCnet-PCI II controller will oper-
ate in full-duplex mode when
either the 10BASE-T or the GPSI
port is enabled. To enable full-
duplex operation on the AUI port,
the AUIFD bit (BCR9, bit1) must
be set to ONE in addition to set-
ting FDEN to ONE. When the
DLNKTST bit (CSR15, bit 12) is
set to ONE, the 10BASE-T port
will operate in half-duplex mode
regardless of the setting of
FDEN.
