33 .Nd "DEC DC21x4x Ethernet device driver"
35 To compile this driver into the kernel,
36 place the following line in your
37 kernel configuration file:
38 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
42 Alternatively, to load the driver as a
43 module at boot time, place the following line in
45 .Bd -literal -offset indent
51 driver provides support for the Ethernet adapters based on the Digital
52 Equipment DC21x4x based self-contained Ethernet and Fast Ethernet
57 driver supports the following media types:
59 .Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
61 Enable autoselection of the media type and options
63 Set 10Mbps operation on the 10baseT port
65 Set 10Mbps operation on the BNC port
67 Set 10Mbps operation on the AUI port
69 Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation
73 Set 100Mbps operation (4-pair cat-3 cable)
78 driver supports the following media options:
80 .Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
82 Set full duplex operation
85 Note that the media types available depend on the particular card in use.
86 Some cards are explicitly programmed to a particular media type by a
87 setup utility and are not changeable.
91 command an in particular the
93 flag to list the supported media types for your particular card.
97 method of configuration is not supported.
99 Adapters supported by the
107 Cogent EM100FX and EM440TX
109 Corega FastEther PCI-TX
113 DEC DE435, DEC DE450, and DEC DE500
115 ELECOM LD-PCI2T, LD-PCITS
119 SMC Etherpower 8432, 9332 and 9334
125 .It "de%d: waking device from sleep/snooze mode"
126 The 21041 and 21140A chips support suspending the operation of the card.
127 .It "de%d: error: desired IRQ of %d does not match device's actual IRQ of %d"
128 The device probe detected that the board is configured for a different
129 interrupt than the one specified in the kernel configuration file.
130 .It "de%d: not configured; limit of %d reached or exceeded"
131 There is a limit of 32
133 devices allowed in a single machine.
134 .It "de%d: not configured; 21040 pass 2.0 required (%d.%d found)"
135 .It "de%d: not configured; 21140 pass 1.1 required (%d.%d found)"
136 Certain revisions of the chipset are not supported by this driver.
