|
.Cd "device miibus"
|
|
.Cd "device tx"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for the Ethernet adapters based on the
|
|
SMC 83c17x (EPIC) chips.
|
|
These are mostly SMC 9432 series cards.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver supports the following media types (depending on card's capabilities):
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
|
|
.It autoselect
|
|
Enable autonegotiation (default)
|
|
.It 100baseFX
|
|
Set 100Mbps (fast ethernet) fiber optic operation
|
|
.It 100baseTX
|
|
Set 100Mbps (fast ethernet) twisted pair operation
|
|
.It 10baseT/UTP
|
|
Set 10Mbps on 10baseT port
|
|
.It 10base2/BNC
|
|
Set 10Mbps on 10base2 port
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver supports the following media options:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
|
|
.It full-duplex
|
|
Set full-duplex operation
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Driver supports oversized ethernet packets (up to 1600 bytes).
|
|
Refer to the
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8
|
|
man page on setting the interface's MTU.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The old ``ifconfig tx0 linkN'' method of configuration is not supported.
|
|
.Ss "VLAN (IEEE 802.1Q) support"
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver supports the VLAN operation (using
|
|
.Xr vlan 4
|
|
interface) without decreasing the MTU on the
|
|
.Xr vlan 4
|
|
interfaces.
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.Bl -diag
|
|
.It "tx%d: device timeout %d packets"
|
|
The device stops responding.
|
|
Device and driver reset follows this error.
|
|
.It "tx%d: PCI fatal error occurred (%s)"
|
|
One of following errors occurred: PCI Target Abort, PCI Master Abort, Data
|
|
Parity Error or Address Parity Error.
|
|
Device and driver reset follows this error.
|
|
.It "tx%d: cannot allocate mbuf header/cluster"
|
|
Cannot allocate memory for received packet.
|
|
Packet thrown away.
|
|
.It "tx%d: can't stop %s DMA"
|
|
While reseting, driver failed to stop device correctly.
