devn-ne2000.so

Driver for NE-2000-compatible Ethernet adapters

Syntax:

io-pkt-variant -d ne2000 [option[,option ...]] ...

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

Runs on:

QNX Neutrino

Options:

Note: Use commas, not spaces, to separate the options.
did=0xXXXX
PCI device ID. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.
ioport=num
I/O port of the interface. The port parameter must be a hex address (e.g., 0x320). The default is automatically detected on supported hardware (but see the caution below).
irq=num
IRQ of the interface. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware (but see the caution below).
lan=num
The LAN number. The default is 0.
mac=XXXXXXXXXXXX
MAC address of the controller. The default 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 the supported hardware.
promiscuous
Enable promiscuous mode. The default is off.
tmem=name
The name for typed memory.
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 output goes to slogger, invoke sloginfo to view.
vid=0xXXXX
The PCI vendor ID of the controller. The default is automatically detected on the supported hardware.
width=8|16
I/O access width (8 or 16 bits). The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.

Description:

The devn-ne2000.so driver controls NE-2000-compatible Ethernet adapters.

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.

This is a legacy io-net driver; its interface names are in the form enX, where X is an integer.

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:

You can then use ifconfig to enable or disable whichever of these options your device supports.

Examples:

Start io-pkt-v4-hc using the NE-2000 driver:

io-pkt-v4-hc -d ne2000 ioport=0x320,irq=11
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*.

Caveats:

If you're running a PCMCIA NE2000-compatible adapter, you may need to specify the -w8 command-line option of devp-pccard.
