Driver for Crystal 89xx Ethernet adapters
Syntax:
io-pkt-variant -d crys8900 [option[,option ...]] ...
where variant is one of v4, v4-hc, or
v6-hc.
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
- 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 or
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 is a legacy io-net driver;
its interface names are in the form enX, where
X is an integer.
CAUTION:
This driver can't always detect the correct irq and ioport
options, especially for ISA devices. To be sure, always specify irq and
ioport when using this 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-hc using the Crystal 89xx driver:
stack:
io-pkt-v4-hc -d crys8900
ifconfig en0 10.1.0.184
Files:
- /dev/io-net
- The directory where, by default, drivers and protocol modules add
entries.
