On the 5702 that supports CLRTCKS mode, you need to play around with the
following parameters in tg3.h. To reduce interrupts, you generally have
to increase the values.
#define LOW_RXCOL_TICKS_CLRTCKS 0x00000014
#define LOW_TXCOL_TICKS_CLRTCKS 0x00000048
#define LOW_RXMAX_FRAMES 0x00000005
#define LOW_TXMAX_FRAMES 0x00000035
#define DEFAULT_RXCOAL_TICK_INT_CLRTCKS 0x00000014
#define DEFAULT_TXCOAL_TICK_INT_CLRTCKS 0x00000014
#define DEFAULT_RXCOAL_MAXF_INT 0x00000005
#define DEFAULT_TXCOAL_MAXF_INT 0x00000005
