CAUTION: When setting RxIntDelay to a value other than 0, adapters based
on the Intel 82543 and 82544 LAN controllers may hang (stop
transmitting) under certain network conditions. If this occurs a

controller is automatically reset, restoring the network
connection. To eliminate the potential for the hang ensure that
