8 amd8111s \- AMD-8111 Fast Ethernet Network Adapter driver
18 The \fBamd8111s\fR Fast Ethernet driver is a multi-threaded, loadable,
19 clonable, GLD-based STREAMS driver supporting the Data Link Provider
20 Interface, \fBdlpi\fR(7P), on the AMD-8111 Fast Ethernet Network Adapter.
23 The \fBamd8111s\fR driver functions include controller initialization, frame
24 transmit and receive, promiscuous and multicast support, and error recovery and
26 .SH APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
29 The cloning, character-special device \fB/dev/amd8111\fR is used to access all
30 AMD-8111 Fast Ethernet devices installed within the system.
33 The \fBamd8111s\fR driver is managed by the \fBdladm\fR(1M) command line
34 utility, which allows VLANs to be defined on top of amd8111s instances and for
35 amd8111s instances to be aggregated. See \fBdladm\fR(1M) for more details.
39 By default, the \fBamd8111s\fR driver performs auto-negotiation to select the
40 link speed and mode. Link speed and mode can be any of the following:
43 100 Mbps, full-duplex.
46 100 Mbps, half-duplex.
