=== Receive Packet Maximum Size === |

The RMS register is located at offset 0xDA and is used for setting the maximum packet size that can be received into the NIC. If set to zero, the NIC will accept no packets (must be set prior to normal operation!). The maximum size that can be set is 0x3FFF (16k - 1), but if a packet larger than 8k is received error bits are set and a lengthier process must be started in order to determine if the packet is actually good or not. I keep this value to 0x1FFF (8k - 1) as it is rare to receive such large packets and it also ensures that error packets are actually error packets and not false positives. |
