Transmit IP Checksum
Allows the adapter to compute the IP checksum of transmitted packets. This feature
can improve IP transmit performance and reduce CPU utilization. With Offloading
disabled, the operating system verifies the IP checksum.
UDP Checksum Offload
Enables the adapter to verify the UDP checksum on received packets and compute
checksum on transmitted packets. Enabling this feature can improve UDP performance
and reduce CPU utilization.
This setting can be configured separately for IPv4 and IPv6.
Wait for Link
Decides if the driver waits for Auto Negotiation to be successful before reporting the
link state.
Options

Negotiation, the driver waits for a short time for link to complete and then
reports the link state.
Auto Detect:
Automatically set to On or Off depending on speed and adapter
type when the driver is installed.
• Off for copper Intel PRO/1000 adapters with a speed of Auto
• On for copper Intel PRO/1000 adapters with a forced speed and duplex
• On for fiber Intel PRO/1000 adapters with a speed of Auto
Power Management
The Intel® PROSet Power Management tab replaces the standard Microsoft Windows
Power Management tab in Device Manager. It includes the Power Saver and Wake on
