Abstract

Technology for managing operational modes of a network adapter is disclosed. The technology includes features for selectively preempting (e.g., canceling, suspending, deferring, pausing, changing to a “no-op” state, changing to a passive state, or otherwise deprioritizing) execution for a current operational mode of the network adapter, executing a requested network control operation, and optionally restoring the preempted operational mode. The operational mode may be selectively preempted based on priority information associated with the current operational mode and the requested network control operation.
