DEC EtherWORKS II/III Ethernet device driver
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "device le0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 5 iomem 0xd0000 vector le_intr"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver provides support for the later Digital Equipment EtherWORKS II
(DE200, DE201, DE202, DE422), and the DEC EtherWORKS III NICs (DE203, DE204,
and DE205) NICs.
.Pp
The valid IRQ settings for the
.Nm
driver are 5, 10, 11, and 15.
.Pp
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
.Bl -diag
.It "le%d: not configured -- too many devices"
There is a limit of the number of
.Nm
devices allowed in a single machine.
.It "le%d: lemac configuration error: expected IRQ 0x%x actual 0x%x"
The probed IRQ value did not match the value specified in the kernel
configuration file. Either the card should be changed, or a new kernel
should be built.
.It "le%d: lemac configuration error: expected iomem 0x%x actual 0x%x"
The probed iomem value did not match the value specified in the kernel
configuration file. Either the card should be changed, or a new kernel
should be built.
.It "le%d: reset: EEPROM checksum failed (0x%x)"
The
.Nm
driver depends on the information in the EEPROM being correct.
If this error occurs, please reconfigure the card.
.It "le%d: fatal RXD error, attempting recovery"
.It "le%d: recovery failed -- board disabled"
A receive error occurred. The driver will attempt to recover from this
error. However it it cannot, the driver will shut the card down.
.It "le%d: lance: warning: excessive collisions: TDR%dns (%d-%dm)"
An overly high number of Ethernet collisions were detected. It may be the
case that the network is overly busy. Or this may suggest a problem with
the EtherWORKS card.
