Driver for Marvell GT64260 Ethernet controller
io-net -d gt64260 [option[,option ...]] ... &
 |
Use commas (,) to separate the options (not spaces). |
- deviceindex=num
- Specifies the index of the Ethernet device to attach to. If no index is specified,
the driver automatically initializes and attaches to all 3 channels.
- duplex=0/1
- Duplex mode. Use 0 for half-duplex mode and 1
for full-duplex mode.
- mac=XXXXXXXXXXXX
- Specifies the hardware MAC address. This option is mandatory.
- memrange=0xXXXXXXXX
- Register base memory address. There is no default; this option is
mandatory.
- mtu=X
- Maximum transmission unit.
- nomulticast
- Ignore requests to receive multicast addresses.
- promiscuous
- Enable promiscuous mode.
- receive=num
- Set the number of receive descriptors/buffers. The default is 64.
- rmii=0
- Use MII phy. Default is 1=ON (Use RMII phy).
- speed=10/100
- Media data rate.
- transmit=num
- Set the number of transmit descriptors/buffers. The default is 128.
- 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.

A MAC address must be specified on the command line.
In auto-initialization mode, (where "deviceindex" isn't specified)
the MAC address for each channel is derived from the specified MAC address
plus the channel index.

The devn-gt64260.so driver controls Marvell Ethernet controllers.
Start io-net on the Motorola MVP board, auto-initializing all
three channels:
 |
Channel 1 will be assigned a MAC address of 001100bead01, and
channel 2 will be assigned a MAC address of 001100bead02. |
io-net -d gt64260 memrange=0xf8000000,rmii=0,mac=001100bead00 -ptcpip
Start io-net on the Marvell EV-64260A-BP board, using channel 0
and channel 2:
io-net -d gt64260 memrange=0xf8000000,mac=001100bead00,deviceindex=0 \
-dgt64260 memrange=0xf8000000,mac=001100bead22,deviceindex=2
-ptcpip
- /dev/io-net
- The directory where, by default, drivers and protocol modules add
entries.
