Manpage police??? Looking kinda bored there aren't you? Need something to do? :-) I'm sure there's work here to be done. Inspired by: Joerg 2.2-R candidate after Mike gets thru with them.

EtherExpress ethernet device driver
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "device ix0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 iomem 0xd0000 iosiz 32768 vector ixintr"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for the 16-bit Intel EtherExpress Ethernet
|
|
card based on the Intel i82586 chip.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the IRQ is autodetected if the kernel configuration file has "irq?" or
|
|
doesn't specify an IRQ at all.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.Bl -diag
|
|
.It "ix%d: WARNING: board is configured for IRQ %d, using %d"
|
|
The IRQ probed from the EEPROM does not match that specified in the kernel
|
|
configuration file. The IRQ specified in the kernel configuration file will
|
|
be used in this case.
|
|
.It "ix%d: invalid irq (%d)"
|
|
An invalid IRQ was specified. This is a fatal error.
|
|
.It "ix%d: ixstart: Packet length=%d > MTU=%d"
|
|
The length of the Ethernet packet read was larger than the maxium transfer
|
|
unit allowed. This message suggests an error in the driver. It probably
|
|
should be concidered fatal and the driver shut down. Currently this does
|
|
not happen though.
|
|
.It "ix%d: device timeout"
|
|
The device has stopped responding to the network, or there is a problem with
|
|
the network connection (cable). Make sure the network connection in use
|
|
is the same one the probe read from the EEPROM.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Sh CAVEATS
|
|
The driver will use the IRQ specified in the kernel configuration file
|
|
if it does not match the board setting.
|
|
The type of network connector used (AUI, BNC, TPE) is probed from the EEPROM.
|
|
If this does not match the interface actually in use, timeout errors will
|
|
occur.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
Currently the driver does not support multicast.
