----------------
|
|
|
|
The enclosed driver should be considered as beta-test software. It
|
|
has run on exactly one machine. Therefore testing has been limited.
|
|
This driver is in no way supported by Digital Equipment. See the
|
|
disclaimers in the sources for more.
|
|
|
|
This driver the DEC DE435 PCI NIC. It should also work with other PCI
|
|
boards that use the DC21040-AA chip (also known as TULIP). This
|
|
driver requires the DC21040-AA to be pass 2.3 or later. If you are
|
|
using a eariler pass chip, you may encounter undetected transmit
|
|
corruptions. This driver also requires that DC21040-AA use a serial
|
|
Ethernet address ROM as described in the DC21040 specification.
|
|
|
|
The DEC DE425 EISA NIC based on the DC21040-AA is not support at
|
|
this time. A future update will include support for it.
|
|
|
|
The driver includes full support for both BPF and IP Multicast.
|
|
If the autosensing of the driver fails, you can use ifconfig(8) to
|
|
switch the driver to the correct port.
|
|
|
|
ifconfig de0 altphys Thinwire/AUI port
|
|
ifconfig de0 -altphys 10baseT/UTP port
|
|
|
|
This driver requires the NCR 53C810 PCI SCSI package to be installed.
|
|
This can be obtained from FTP.Uni-Koeln.DE:~ftp/packages/FreeBSD/PCI-SCSI.
|
|
Make sure the date of the NCR 53C810 PCI SCSI package is later than
|
|
October 10th, 1994.
|
|
|
|
[All paths are relative to the top of sys source area, usually
|
|
/usr/src/sys.]
|
|
|
|
The following files need to be moved into their respective
|
|
directories:
|
|
|
|
if_de.c --> i386/pci
|
|
dc21040.h --> i386/pci
|
|
|
|
You will need to apply the following patches:
|
|
|
|
pat.files.i386 --> i386/conf/files.i386
|
|
|
|
After that is done you will need to edit your config file (in
|
|
i386/conf) and lines similar to:
|
|
|
|
controller pci0
|
|
device de0
|
|
|
|
The PCI support code will automatically determine and enable the
|
|
correct IRQ.
|
|
|
|
Now you are ready to rebuild your kernel, reboot, and see if the
|
|
driver can configure your board. When the system boots, you will
|
|
hopefully something close to:
|
|
|
|
de0 <digital dc21040 ethernet> int a irq 9 on pci0:7
|
|
reg20: virtual=0xf290a000 physical=0xc0001000
|
|
de0: enabling Thinwire/AUI port
|
|
de0: DC21040 [10Mb/s] pass 2.3 ethernet address 08:00:2b:e2:1e:09
|
|
bpf: de0 attached
|
|
|
|
in the startup log. If so, the board configured properly and
|
|
should be ready to use.
