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 :)
