Honored ContributorInterNiche driver with Marvel 88E1111
good day.
[recapitulation from other thread]
i am using the cyclone iii development board (ef3c120f7807cn)
the samples included in the dev kit does not include any ethernet. therefore i changed the samples to include a tse mac using the marvel 88e111 instead.
i am getting the a "no free buffers for rx" after phy initialization

my question is, if this is the reason how can i disable the the mac from sending all the packets to avoid swamping or how to increase the number of large buffers available, i am using version 9.0 thankyou!
