MSIX ---- A tool to disable MSI-X for 82599, 82575EB, and 82574L Copyright (C) 2010 Intel Corporation Usage ----- msixW32 [-v] [-?] The -v flag puts the tool into a "verbose" mode. What it does ------------ This tool iterates through the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI hive of the registry, hunting for 82599, 82575EB, and 82574L. This utility will also work with the following subdevice IDs for 82599: 0x10B6, 0x10C6, 0x10C7, 0x10C8, 0x10DB, 0x10DC, 0x10DD, 0x10E1, 0x10EC, 0x10F1, 0x10F4, 0x1508, 0x150B This utility will also work with the following subdevice IDs for 82574L: 0x10D3, 0x10D4, 0x10F6 This utility will also work with the following subdevice IDs for 82575EBL: 0x10D6, 0x10A7, 0x10A9, 0x10E2 When it finds a match, it looks at under each "magic number" subkey for this path: Device Parameters\Interrupt Management\MessageSignaledInterruptProperties. In this key, it sets the DWORD values MessageNumberLimit and MSISupported to "1". This effectively disables MSI-X for these devices. If any changes are made to the registry, the tool advises the user that a reboot is required. This tool requires administrator privileges. What it doesn't do ------------------ -- Prompt the user for confirmation or permission -- Provide an "undo" option. -- Save the original state of the registry settings (although it does display them).
