|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm ar
|
|
driver supports the Arnet SYNC/570i ISA cards that is based on the
|
|
HD64570 chip. Both the 2 and 4 port cards is supported and auto detected.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Line speeds of up to 2Mbps is possible. At this speed about 85% of the
|
|
bandwidth is usable with 486DX processors.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The standard
|
|
.Tn FreeBSD
|
|
sppp code is used for the link level layer. The
|
|
default protocol used is PPP. The Cisco HDLC protocol can be used by
|
|
adding
|
|
.Ar link2
|
|
to
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8 .
|
|
.Sh NUMBERING
|
|
Only one line for each card is needed in the kernel configuration file.
|
|
The first card's ports will be installed from ar0. The numbering of the
|
|
next card will continue where the first stopped, eg. if the first card
|
|
is a two port card it will use ar0 and ar1. The next card will then
|
|
start at ar2.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The card only supports IRQ 3, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12 and 15.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The iomem area is a 16Kb block and must start at a 16Kb boundary.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.Bl -diag
|
|
.It "ar%d: Warning illegal interrupt %d."
|
|
The card cannot use the specified interrupt. Choose a different one.

.Sh BUGS
|
|
At the moment only the V.35 and X.21 interfaces is tested. The others
|
|
may need tweaks to the clock selection code.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The code can probably stand some optimizing.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There must be lots because this code is still very green. Please report
