2-3 Receive Architecture A pro grammable number of word s can be skipped between buf fer descriptors. This allows the driver to store data related to a buf fer . When using 64-bit addr essi ng, all descriptor and com pl etion q ueues must be con tained in the same 32-bit addr ess space.

3-2 AIC-6915 Eth ernet LAN Controller Pr ogrammer’ s Ma nual ■ Ther e are thr ee kinds of interrupts generated by the transmit DMA engine. A “TxDmaDoneInt” is generated when the entire packet is DMA-transferr ed. A “TxFrameCompleteInterr upt” is generated when an entir e packet is transmitted.
3-3 T ransmit Architecture ■ When the amoun t of packet data in the FIFO exceeds the “T ransmit Thr eshold,” or when the end of packet is alr eady in the FIFO, the “T ransmit Frame” state machine signals the MAC to start transm itting the packet.

3-6 AIC-6915 Eth ernet LAN Controller Pr ogrammer’ s Ma nual ■ ID : 4 bits. This field is used by the software/debugger to identify the start o f a descriptor . If a transmit DMA operation does not see a matched ID in this field, it aborts the DM A operation and sets an interrupt sta tus bit.
3-7 T ransmit Architecture ■ INTR : Ca uses s etting of the interrupt status bits (TxDm aDoneInt and/or TxFrameCompleteInt) after complete tran smis sion of the entir e packet. The appropriate interrupt status bit is set based on two control bits that the software programs at the initializat ion phase.
3-8 AIC-6915 Eth ernet LAN Controller Pr ogrammer’ s Ma nual ■ T otal Packet Length : This 16-bit field defines the total packet length. If this field is zer o, it is ignored and the t otal packet length is equal to the sum of all the buf fers. If this field is nonzer o, it is defined a s the total packet length.
