Hello list,

I have been happily using the eepro100 driver, but recently 
discovered that a motherboard I am using has an "interesting"
PCI feature: it allows only 3 dwords per dma rx burst.  And, not
surprisingly, I have sub-optimal performance on this interface.  
I tried to set the rxdmacount  to try to force the driver to accomodate
this limitation, but I didn't notice any difference in performance.
I found this option by using the modinfo comand, but the 
description only says "int".  I haven't yet dug into the code, can 
someone tell me off hand, if this parameter affects the issue at hand,
and what the appropriate value would be?

Thanks,
-Bob
