devn-tigon3.so
Driver for TIGON3 (BCM570X) Ethernet controller
Syntax:
io-pkt-variant -d tigon3 [option[,option ...]] ...&
where variant is one of v4, v4-hc, or v6-hc.
Runs on:
Neutrino
Options:
 |
Use commas, not spaces, to separate the options. |
- connector=type
- The network cable connector type:
- 0
- BNC
- 1
- UTP
- 3
- FIBER
The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.
- did=0xXXXX
- The device ID. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.
- duplex=dup
- 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's ignored, and both speed and duplex are autonegotiated.
- mac=XXXXXXXXXXXX
- The MAC address of the controller. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.
- nomulticast
- Disable the driver from sending or receiving multicast packets. By default, multicast is enabled.
- pci=0xXXXX
- The PCI index of the controller. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.
- priority
- The priority of the driver thread. The default is 21.
- promiscuous=0|1
- If set to 1, enable the driver to pass all data packets received, regardless of address. The default is 0.
- single
- In a multiple NIC environment, stop after the first detected card. Default is to enable all cards found.
- speed=10|100|1000
- The media data rate, in megabits per second. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware. If you specify speed, specify duplex as well; if speed alone is specified, the specified speed will be correctly set, but duplex will default to half (0).
- 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 it.
- vid=0xXXXX
- The vendor ID of the controller. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.
Description:
The devn-tigon3.so driver is the Ethernet controller for the Broadcom BCM570X. This is a legacy io-net driver; its interface names are in the form enX, where X is an integer.

If the device enumerators (see enum-devices) don't recognize your device, try explicitly specifying the device ID with the did option when you start the driver. |
Some devices support hardware checksums, although some might do so in only one direction; to determine if your device does, type:
ifconfig enX
and look for the following in the list of supported options:
- ip4csum, ip4csum-rx, ip4csum-tx
- tcp4csum, tcp4csum-rx, tcp4csum-tx
- tcp6csum, tcp6csum-rx, tcp6csum-tx
- udp4csum, udp4csum-rx, udp4csum-tx
- udp6csum, udp6csum-rx, udp6csum-tx
You can then use ifconfig to enable or disable whichever of these options your device supports.
Examples:
Start io-pkt-v4 using the TIGON3 driver:
io-pkt-v4 -d tigon3 verbose ifconfig en0 10.1.0.184
Files:
- /dev/io-pkt
- The directory where, by default, drivers and protocol modules add entries. For more information, see the documentation for io-pkt*.
