Methods and apparatus are disclosed for transparently resuming the network connection after a reset or reboot. In one aspect a data processing apparatus comprises an operating system unit configured to create and store state information comprising one or more parameters for a network connection between a first computing device and a second computing device; a management interface unit configured to receive a request to reboot the first computing device; and host reset session resumption logic configured to store, in response to the request, the state information in a particular location in a memory of the first computing device, to initiate a reboot of the first computing device, to retrieve the state information from the particular location in memory, and to request resuming data communications over the network connection based on the retrieved state information.

Resuming a computing session when rebooting a computing device

A system and method for selecting a best transmit antenna for a transceiver using antenna diversity that caches the identity of the best transmit antenna for each remote node from which a message has been received. The best transmit antenna is then selected for each message sent to a remote node having a cache entry.

Node dependent wireless transmit antenna selection technique

A host-daughtercard interface is pin compatible with a legacy interface but redefines a subset of pins to implement a high-bandwidth double data-rate (DDR) bus. By inspecting a cookie on the daughtercard, the host platform determines whether the daughtercard supports the DDR bus or the legacy interface, and then configures the subset of pins to implement the legacy interface or the DDR bus.
