What is Polled Mode and how do I enable it?
By default, Summit device drivers operate in “Interrupt Mode” which provides for optimal performance. In some cases, however, interrupt conflicts can occur with other device (non-Summit) drivers that are present on the device. When this condition is present, the device will typically and consistently “lock-up”. Setting the Summit driver to “Polled Mode” will often address device lock-ups that result from interrupt conflicts. When the Summit driver is set to Polled Mode, there will be a minimal and typically unperceivable decrease in WLAN performance. Polled Mode can only be enabled through a registry setting.
