When LAPPEN = 1, then hardware will use a modified
form of descriptor parsing as follows:
n The controller will examine OWN and STP to deter-
n The controller will always obey the OWN bit for de-
n The controller will always mark the end of a frame
The controller will discard all descriptors with OWN = 1
and STP = 0 and move to the next descriptor when
searching for a place to begin a new frame. It discards
these descriptors by simply changing the ownership bit
from OWN = 1 to OWN = 0. Such a descriptor is unused
n Example 2: Assume that instead of the expected

to ENP location in the third descriptor. Here are the two

must recognize this. (The driver will recognize this if it
follows the software rules.)
The controller will ignore all descriptors with OWN = 0
and STP = 0 and move to the next descriptor when
searching for a place to begin a new frame. In other
words, the controller is allowed to skip entries in the
ring that it does not own, but only when it is looking for
a place to begin a new frame.

buffer sizes of 800, 200, and 200 bytes.
