Well, the options are not mentioned in the man page on purpose. Most are only for debugging or left over from experimental states of the code, and they may have unexpected side effects. If you want to modify the drivers behaviour, you can do so at run-time using "ncrcontrol". You may of course suggest improvements to the man page, but I don't want to add descriptions for the more obscure and possibly short lived options that you most probably found :) Regards, STefan
