ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a media access controller configured to communicate with an upper layer and a lower physical layer. The media access controller includes a receive controller for receiving and processing receive data requests from the lower layer and transferring received data to the upper layer. The method includes receiving data from the lower layer and processing the received data through the receive controller. The processor being performed in accordance with a setting of a plurality of control registers associated with the transmit controller. The method further including receiving a control signal for modifying at least one of the plurality of control registers while the data is being processed through the receive controller. Altering the processing of data being processed within the receive controller based on the modification of the at least one of the plurality of control registers associated with the receive controller, and transferring the processed data to the upper layer.
