RCVFW controls the point at
which receive DMA is requested
in relation to the number of re-
ceived bytes in the Receive
FIFO. RCVFW specifies the num-
ber of bytes which must be
present (once the frame has
been verified as a non-runt) be-
fore receive DMA is requested.
Note however that, if the network
interface is operating in half-du-
plex mode, in order for receive
DMA to be performed for a new
frame, at least 64 bytes must
have been received. This effec-
tively avoids having to react to re-
ceive frames which are runts or
suffer a collision during the slot
time (512 bit times). If the Runt
Packet Accept feature is enabled
or if the network interface is oper-
ating in full-duplex mode, receive
DMA will be requested as soon
as either the RCVFW threshold is
reached, or a complete valid re-
ceive frame is detected (regard-
less of length). When the Full
Duplex Runt Packet Accept Dis-
able (FDRPAD) bit (BCR9, bit 2)
is set and the Am79C976 control-
ler is in full-duplex mode, in order
for receive DMA to be performed
for a new frame, at least 64 bytes
must have been received. This
effectively disables the runt pack-
et accept feature in full duplex.
