`devn-crys8900.so`

Driver for Crystal 89xx Ethernet adapters

Syntax:

io-net -d crys8900 [option[,option ...]] ...

Runs on:

Neutrino

Options:

Use commas (,) to separate the options (not spaces).

connector=0|1|2|3

Network cable connector type:

0: BNC
1: UTP
2: AUI
3: FIBER

dma=num

The DMA channel.

duplex=0|1

Half (0) or full (1) duplex mode.

iftype=num

Interface type (from <net/if_types.h>). The default is IFT_ETHER.

iorange=0xXXXXXXXX

I/O base address.

irq=num

IRQ of the interface. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware (but see caution below).

lan=num

LAN number. The default is 0.

mac=XXXXXXXXXXXX

MAC address of the controller. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.

media=num

Media type (from <hw/nicinfo.h>). The default is NIC_MEDIA_802_3.

mru=num

Maximum receive unit. The default is 1514.

mtu=num

Maximum transmission unit. The default (1514) is automatically detected on supported hardware.

nomulticast

Disables the driver from sending or receiving multicast packets. By default, multicast is enabled.

priority=N

Priority of the driver event-thread. The default is 21.

promiscuous

Enable promiscuous mode. The default is off.

uptype=name

Interface name. The default is "en".

verbose verbose=num

Be verbose. Specify num for more verbosity (num can be 1-4, the higher the number, the more detailed the output). The default is 0. The output goes to slogger, invoke sloginfo to view.

Description:

The devn-crys8900.so driver controls Crystal 89xx Ethernet adapters.

This driver cannot always detect the correct irq and ioport options, especially for ISA devices. To be sure, always specify irq and ioport when using this driver.

Examples:

Start io-net using the Crystal 89xx driver and the full TCP/IP stack:

io-net -d crys8900 -p tcpip
ifconfig en0 10.184

/dev/io-net: The directory where, by default, drivers and protocol modules add entries. For more information, the documentation for io-net.
