AMD Lance/PCnet Ethernet device driver
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS

|
.Cd "device lnc0 at isa? port 0x280 net irq 10 drq 0"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for the AMD family of Lance/PCnet Ethernet NICs
|
|
including the Am7990 and Am79C960.
|
|
The Ethernet cards supported by the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interface are:

.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.Bl -diag
|
|
.It "lnc%d: Framing error"
|
|
A framing error occurred. This means a CRC error also occurred.
|
|
This caused the driver to drop the packet that contained the framing error.
|
|
.It "lnc%d: Receive CRC error
|
|
The received Ethernet frame failed the CRC checksum.
|
|
This caused the driver to drop the packet that failed the checksum.
|
|
.It "lnc%d: Packet dropped, no mbufs"
|
|
The driver ran out of mbuf's. This may suggest a resource problem.
|
|
.It "lnc%d: Couldn't allocate memory for NIC"
|
|
This is a fatal error. The driver will not attach to the card under this
|
|
circumstance.
|
|
.It "lnc%d: Memory allocated above 16Mb limit"
|
|
ISA and ESIA cards require bounce buffers for DMA transfers above 16mb.
|
|
The Am7990 and Am79C960 only have 24 address lines and so can only access
|
|
the lower 16Mb of physical memory. The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver assumes the memory it allocates is within the lower 16Mb range.
|
|
This is not a very valid assumption but there's nothing that can be done
|
|
about it yet. For shared memory NICs this isn't relevant.
|
|
.It "lnc%d: Device timeout -- Resetting"
|
|
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 card is configured for.
|
|
.It "lnc%d: Transmit late collision -- Net error?"
|
|
.It "lnc%d: Loss of carrier during transmit -- Net error?"
|
|
.It "lnc%d: Transmit of packet failed after 16 attempts -- TDR = %d"
|
|
.It "lnc%d: Heartbeat error -- SQE test failed"
|
|
.It "lnc%d: Babble error - more than 1519 bytes transmitted"
|
|
.It "lnc%d: Missed packet -- no receive buffer"
|
|
.It "lnc%d: Memory error -- Resetting"
|
|
.It "lnc%d: Couldn't get mbuf for transmit packet -- Resetting"
|
|
.It "lnc%d: Receive buffer error"
|
|
.It "lnc%d: Receive overflow error"
|
|
.It "lnc%d: Receive interrupt with buffer still owned by controller -- Resetting"
|
|
.It "lnc%d: Receive interrupt but not start of packet -- Resetting"
|
|
.It "lnc%d: Start of packet found before end of previous in receive ring -- Resetting"
|
|
.It "lnc%d: End of received packet not found -- Resetting"
|
|
.It "lnc%d: Transmit interrupt with buffer still owned by controller -- Resetting"
|
|
.It "lnc%d: Transmit interrupt but not start of packet -- Resetting"

This driver has the potential of being the most verbose of any of the
|
|
Ethernet device drivers.
