CONFIG_8139TOO_TUNE_TWISTER
This implements a function which might come in handy in case you
are using low quality on long cabling. It tries to match the
transceiver to the cable characteristics. This is experimental
since hardly documented by the manufacturer. If unsure, say N.
Jeff,
don't you think this sort of thing should be a module option, and
not a compile-time option?
It's OK for you and me - we compile kernels occasionally. But
for most people, unless the distributor turns this on, they simply
won't be able to access it.
No?
(And wouldn't it be nice to be able to get the same functionality
which module options give us when using a statically linked driver?)
