devn-i82544.so
Driver for Intel 82540, 82544, 82545, 82546, and 82547 Gigabit Ethernet LAN adapters
Syntax:
io-net -d i82544 [option[,option ...]] ... &
Runs on:
Neutrino
Options:

Use commas (,) to separate the options (not spaces). |
- did
- Only detect devices with this specific PCI Device ID. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.
- duplex=0|1
- Half (0) or full (1) duplex mode. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware. If you specify duplex, specify speed as well; if duplex alone is specified, it is ignored and both speed and duplex are auto-negotiated.
- flowcontrol=0|1
- Disable (0) or enable (1) hardware flow control.
- irq=N
- IRQ of the interface. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.
- mac=XXXXXXXXXXXX
- MAC address of controller. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.
- mtu=X
- Maximum transmission unit. The default (1514) is automatically detected on supported hardware.
- nomulticast
- Disable the driver from sending or receiving multicast packets. By default, multicast is enabled.
- pci
- Only detect devices at this specific PCI index.
- priority=X
- Priority of the driver's event-handler thread. The default is 21.
- promiscuous
- Enable promiscuous mode. The default is off.
- receive=num
- Set the number of receive descriptors. The default is 64.
- speed=10|100|1000
- Media data rate (10Mbit, 100Mbit, or Gigabit operation). The default is automatically detected on supported hardware. If you specify speed, specify duplex as well; if speed alone is specified, the specified speed is correctly set, but duplex defaults to half (0).
- transmit=N
- Set the number of transmit descriptors. The default is 128.
- 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 output goes to slogger; invoke sloginfo to view.
- vid
- Only detect devices with this specific PCI Vendor ID.
Description:
The devn-i82544.so driver manages the Intel 82540, 82544, 82545, 82546, and 82547 Gigabit Ethernet LAN adapters.
Examples:
Start io-net using the devn-i82544.so driver and the full TCP/IP stack:
io-net -d i82544 -p tcpip ifconfig en0 10.184
Files:
- /dev/io-net
- The directory where, by default, drivers and protocol modules add entries. For more information, the documentation for io-net.
