Intel PRO/100+ network adapter driver notes

High collision rates may be observed with Intel^® PRO/100+ network adapters on 10Mbps half-duplex connections when using ftp get and put.

You may be able to reduce high collision rates by changing the value of ADAPTIVE_IFS in the driver's Space.c file. A higher value for ADAPTIVE_IFS will reduce the collision rate, but will also reduce throughput in a full-duplex environment.

Determine which Intel network driver you are using (either eeE or eeE8) by running netcfg(1M) or by observing the device name when your system is starting up and configuring networking.
Edit the appropriate file, /etc/inst/nd/mdi/eeE/Space.c or /etc/inst/nd/mdi/eeE8/Space.c, and change ADAPTIVE_IFS:
```
   from:
   #define ADAPTIVE_IFS    0
   to:
   #define ADAPTIVE_IFS    10
```
Run netcfg. Remove and then re-install the appropriate Intel PRO/100+ network driver (eeE or eeE8) so that the new Space.c is used.
