.Nd RealTek RTL8168/8169/8110/8211 series 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet PHY driver
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
|
To compile all available PHY drivers into the kernel,
|
|
|
|
|
place the following line in your kernel configuration file:
|
|
|
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
|
|
|
.Cd "device miibus"
|
|
|
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, to selectively compile this driver into the kernel,
|
|
|
|
|
place the following lines in your kernel configuration file instead:
|
|
|
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
|
|
|
.Cd "device mii"
|
|
|
|
|
.Cd "device rgephy"
|
|
|
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
|
driver supports the RealTek RTL8168, RTL8169, RTL8110 and RTL8211 series
|
|
|
|
|
integrated 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet PHYs.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
In order to get a list of media types and options supported by a specific
|
|
|
|
|
instance of the
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
|
driver, run
|
|
|
|
|
.Li ifconfig -m
|
|
|
|
|
on the instance of its parent MAC driver.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
Additionally,
|
|
|
|
|
the
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
|
driver supports the following special media option:
|
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Cm flag0"
|
|
|
|
|
.It Cm flag0
|
|
|
|
|
When manually setting media type and options via
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8 ,
|
|
|
|
|
the
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
|
driver by default also triggers an autonegotiation advertising the selected
|
|
|
|
|
media.
|
2011-01-16 14:21:26 +00:00
|
|
|
This is done in order to work around hardware issues in certain scenarios.
|
2011-01-15 22:07:08 +00:00
|
|
|
It is believed that this behavior does not cause harm in general but in fact
|
|
|
|
|
can have an adverse effect in edge cases.
|
|
|
|
|
In order to manually set the media type and options without also triggering
|
|
|
|
|
an autonegotiation,
|
|
|
|
|
the
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
|
driver allows to turn this behavior off via the
|
|
|
|
|
.Cm flag0
|
|
|
|
|
media option.
|
|
|
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
Note that this special media option will not show up in the output of
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8 ,
|
|
|
|
|
even when set.
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
|
Manually set 100BASE-TX full-duplex without also triggering an
|
|
|
|
|
autonegotiation:
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
.Dl "ifconfig re0 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex,flag0"
