devn-sis9.so

Driver for the SiS900 Ethernet controller and compatibles

Syntax:

io-pkt-variant -d sis9 [option[,option ...]] ... &

where variant is one of v4, v4-hc, or v6-hc.

Runs on:

Neutrino

Options:


Note: Use commas, not spaces, to separate the options.

connector=0|1|2|3
Network cable connector type:
0
BNC
1
UTP
2
AUI
3
FIBER
deviceindex=0xXXXX
PCI index of the controller. Only attach to device with this PCI index.
did=0xXXXX
The PCI device ID. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.
dma=num
The DMA channel.
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.
iftype=num
Interface type (from <net/if_types.h>). The default is IFT_ETHER.
iorange=0xXXXXXXXX
The I/O base address. The 0xXXXXXXXX parameter must be a hex address (e.g. 0x320). The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.
irq=num
IRQ of the interface. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.
lan=num
LAN number. The default is 0.
mac=XXXXXXXXXXXX
MAC address of controller. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.
media=num
Media type (from <hw/nicinfo.h>). The default is NIC_MEDIA_802_3.
memrange=0xXXXXXXXX
Register base physical memory address.
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.
pci=0xXXXX
PCI index of the controller. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.
phy=num
Address of the connected PHY device.
priority=N
Priority of the driver-event 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
Media data rate (10Mbit or 100Mbit 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 will be correctly set, but duplex will default to half (0).
transmit=num
Set the number of transmit descriptors. The default is 128.
uptype=name
Interface name. The default is “en”.
verbose
verbose=N
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.
vid=0xXXXX
Vendor ID of the controller. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.

Description:

The devn-sis9.so driver controls the SiS900 Ethernet controller and compatibles.

You can use ifconfig to enable hardware checksums if supported.

Examples:

Start io-pkt-v6-hc using the SiS900 driver:

io-pkt-v6-hc -d sis9
ifconfig en0 10.1.0.184

Files:

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