.Sh NAME

|
.Nm cs
|
|
.Nd ethernet device driver
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "device cs0 at isa? port 0x300 irq ?"
|
|
.Cd "device cs1 at isa? port 0x300 irq 10 iomem 0xd0000"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for ISA ethernet adapters based on the
|
|
.Nm Crystal Semiconductor CS8900 and CS8920
|
|
NICs. These devices are used on the
|
|
.Nm IBM EtherJet ISA
|
|
adapters and in many embedded applications where the high integration, small
|
|
size and low cost of the CS89x0 family compensate for their drawbacks.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver will obtain configuration parameters either from the configuration entry
|
|
or from the card. Parameters specified in the configuration entry will be
|
|
used if present; the card may be soft-configured so these may be any valid
|
|
value. Adapters based on the CS8920 normally offer PnP configuration and the driver
|
|
will detect the
|
|
.Nm IBM EtherJet
|
|
and the
|
|
.Nm CSC6040
|
|
adapters automatically.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that the CS8900 is limited to 4 IRQ values; these are normally implemented
|
|
as 5, 10, 11 and 12. The CS8920 has no such limitation.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Memory-mapped and DMA operation are not supported at this time.
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.Bl -diag
|
|
.It "cs%d: full/half duplex negotiation timeout"
|
|
The attempt to negotiate duplex settings with the hub timed out. This may
|
|
indicate a cabling problem or a faulty or incompatible hub.
|
|
.It "cs%d: failed to enable <media>"
|
|
The CS89x0 failed to select the nominated media, either because it is not
|
|
present or not operating correctly.
|
|
.It "cs%d: No EEPROM, assuming defaults"
|
|
The CS89x0 does not have an EEPROM, or the EEPROM is hopelessly damaged. Operation
|
|
will only be successful if the configuration entry lists suitable values for
|
|
the adapter.
|
|
.It "cs%d: Invalid irq"
|
|
The IRQ specified in the configuration entry is not valid for the adapter.
|
|
.It "cs%d: Could not allocate memory for NIC"
|
|
There is a critical memory shortage. The adapter will not function.
|
|
.It "cs%d: Adapter has no media"
|
|
The adapter is not configured for a specific media type. The media type will have
|
|
to be manually set.
|
|
.It "This is a %s, but LDN %d is disabled"
|
|
The PnP probe code found a recognised adapter, but the adapter is disabled.
|
|
.It "failed to read pnp parms"
|
|
A PnP adapter was found, but configuration parameters for it could not be read.
|
|
.It "failed to pnp card parametars"
|
|
The parameters obtained via PnP were not accepted by the driver. The adapter
|
|
may not function.
|
|
.Sh CAVEATS
|
|
The CS89x0 family of adapters have a very small RAM buffer (4K). This may
|
|
cause problems with extremely high network loads or bursty network traffic.
|
|
In particular, NFS operations should be limited to 1k read/write transactions
|
|
in order to avoid overruns.
