Registers
The Ethernet controller supports a variety of registers that affect status block updates and interrupt generation
(see
).

Miscellaneous Host Control register.
The two bits of this register that are related to interrupts
are:
• Mask PCI Interrupt Output (aka Mask Interrupt) bit
• Clear Interrupt INTA bit

• Interrupt on Flow Attention (Bit 28) causes a host
interrupt when an enabled flow attention occurs
• Interrupt on DMA Attention (Bit 27) causes a host
interrupt when an enabled DMA attention occurs
• Interrupt on MAC Attention (Bit 26) causes a host
interrupt when an enabled MAC attention occurs
• Interrupt on RX RISC Attention (Bit 25) causes a
host interrupt when an enabled RX-RISC attention
occurs
