Hi,

I have a big question regarding the driver e1000g for x4100, i would like 
to enable the flow control. Normally it should be able to enable it by 
default:

FlowControl=3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3;
        # 0:  Flow control is completely disabled
        # 1:  Rx flow control is enabled (we can receive pause frames
        #     but not send pause frames).
        # 2:  Tx flow control is enabled (we can send pause frames
        #     but we do not receiving pause frames).
        # 3:  Both Rx and TX flow control (symmetric) is enabled.
        # 4:  No software override.  The flow control configuration
        #     in the EEPROM is used.

And when it try to confirm that the flow control works I see the 
follonwing setting:
e1000g:2:mac:adv_cap_asmpause   1
e1000g:2:mac:adv_cap_pause      1


Normally, one of those setting sould be set to "1" or I am worng?


Here is the extract of the setting I have found for ce interface
This parameter has two meanings depending on the value of adv_asmpause_cap
.. (Default=0) 
If adv_asmpause_cap = 1 while adv_pause_cap = 1 pauses are received. 
If adv_asmpause_cap = 1 while adv_pause_cap = 0 pauses are transmitted. 
If adv_asmpause_cap = 0 while adv_pause_cap = 1 pauses are sent and 
received. 
If adv_asmpause_cap = 0 then adv_pause_cap determines whether Pause 
capability is on or off. 
Anyone?
