.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm tx
|
|
.Nd "SMC 83c17x Fast Ethernet device driver"
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
To compile this driver into the kernel,
|
|
place the following lines in your
|
|
kernel configuration file:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Cd "device miibus"
|
|
.Cd "device tx"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
|
|
module at boot time, place the following line in
|
|
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
if_tx_load="YES"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.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 ".Cm 10baseT/UTP"
|
|
.It Cm autoselect
|
|
Enable autonegotiation (default).
|
|
.It Cm 100baseFX
|
|
Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) fiber optic operation.
|
|
.It Cm 100baseTX
|
|
Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) twisted pair operation.
|
|
.It Cm 10baseT/UTP
|
|
Set 10Mbps on 10baseT port.
|
|
.It Cm 10base2/BNC
|
|
Set 10Mbps on 10base2 port.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver supports the following media options:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Cm full-duplex"
|
|
.It Cm full-duplex
|
|
Set full-duplex operation.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
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
|
|
.Dq Li "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
|
|
interfaces) 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"
