io-net -d crys8900 [option[,option ...]] ...

Options:


Note: Use commas (,) to separate the options (not spaces).

connector=0|1|2|3
Network cable connector type:
0
BNC
1
UTP
2
AUI
3
FIBER
dma=num
The DMA channel.
duplex=0|1
Half (0) or full (1) duplex mode.
iftype=num
Interface type (from <net/if_types.h>). The default is IFT_ETHER.
iorange=0xXXXXXXXX
I/O base address.
irq=num
IRQ of the interface. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware (but see caution below).
lan=num
LAN number. The default is 0.
mac=XXXXXXXXXXXX
MAC address of the controller. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.
media=num
Media type (from <hw/nicinfo.h>). The default is NIC_MEDIA_802_3.
mru=num
Maximum receive unit. The default is 1514.
mtu=num
Maximum transmission unit. The default (1514) is automatically detected on supported hardware.
nomulticast
Disables the driver from sending or receiving multicast packets. By default, multicast is enabled.
priority=N
Priority of the driver event-thread. The default is 21.
promiscuous
Enable promiscuous mode. The default is off.
uptype=name
Interface name. The default is "en".
verbose
verbose=num
Be verbose. Specify num for more verbosity (num can be 1-4, the higher the number, the more detailed the output). The default is 0. The output goes to slogger, invoke sloginfo to view.

Description:

The devn-crys8900.so driver controls Crystal 89xx Ethernet adapters.


Caution: This driver cannot always detect the correct irq and ioport options, especially for ISA devices. To be sure, always specify irq and ioport when using this driver.

Examples:

Start io-net using the Crystal 89xx driver and the full TCP/IP stack:

io-net -d crys8900 -p tcpip
ifconfig en0 10.184
