"Zero init mode" refers to a setting in an internal tool we have that is only released under NDA. If you have an FAE, please contact them for more information instead of the public mailing list.
Otherwise, "zero init mode" shouldn't mean anything special and you're just quoting Don out of context.

Also in this mailing list I found this thread, in which the answer from Donald Skidmore mentions zero init: https://sourceforge.net/p/e1000/mailman/message/34745380/ My question is: I have an XL710 nic (Fortville). In practical terms, how do I initialize the adapter in zero init mode ? and what does zero init mode means, in context of Network Interface Cards ?
