44 ========= ========= ===========================================
49 I am not sure if 100BaseTX daughterboards (for those cards which
50 support such things) will work. I haven't had any solid evidence
53 However, if a card supports 100BaseTx without requiring an add
54 on daughterboard, it should work with 100BaseTx.
56 The "Netelligent 10 T/2 PCI UTP/Coax" (b012) device is untested,
57 but I do not expect any problems.
63 1. You can append debug=x to the end of the insmod line to get
64 debug messages, where x is a bit field where the bits mean
67 ==== =====================================
68 0x01 Turn on general debugging messages.
69 0x02 Turn on receive debugging messages.
70 0x04 Turn on transmit debugging messages.
71 0x08 Turn on list debugging messages.
72 ==== =====================================
74 2. You can append aui=1 to the end of the insmod line to cause
75 the adapter to use the AUI interface instead of the 10 Base T
76 interface. This is also what to do if you want to use the BNC
77 connector on a TLAN based device. (Setting this option on a
78 device that does not have an AUI/BNC connector will probably
79 cause it to not function correctly.)
81 3. You can set duplex=1 to force half duplex, and duplex=2 to
84 4. You can set speed=10 to force 10Mbs operation, and speed=100
85 to force 100Mbs operation. (I'm not sure what will happen
86 if a card which only supports 10Mbs is forced into 100Mbs
89 5. You have to use speed=X duplex=Y together now. If you just
90 do "insmod tlan.o speed=100" the driver will do Auto-Neg.
91 To force a 10Mbps Half-Duplex link do "insmod tlan.o speed=10
94 6. If the driver is built into the kernel, you can use the 3rd
95 and 4th parameters to set aui and debug respectively. For
98 ether=0,0,0x1,0x7,eth0
100 This sets aui to 0x1 and debug to 0x7, assuming eth0 is a
101 supported TLAN device.
103 The bits in the third byte are assigned as follows:
113 You also need to set both speed and duplex settings when forcing
114 speeds with kernel-parameters.
115 ether=0,0,0x12,0,eth0 will force link to 100Mbps Half-Duplex.
117 7. If you have more than one tlan adapter in your system, you can
118 use the above options on a per adapter basis. To force a 100Mbit/HD
119 link with your eth1 adapter use::
121 insmod tlan speed=0,100 duplex=0,1
123 Now eth0 will use auto-neg and eth1 will be forced to 100Mbit/HD.
124 Note that the tlan driver supports a maximum of 8 adapters.
127 III. Things to try if you have problems
128 =======================================
130 1. Make sure your card's PCI id is among those listed in
132 2. Make sure routing is correct.
133 3. Try forcing different speed/duplex settings
136 There is also a tlan mailing list which you can join by sending "subscribe tlan"
137 in the body of an email to majordomo@vuser.vu.union.edu.
