devn-eepro.so

Driver for Intel Ether Express Pro ISA 82595 Ethernet adapters

Syntax:

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

Options:

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

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

The I/O base address.

irq=num

The 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 controller. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.

media=num

Media type (from <hw/nicinfo.h>). The default is NIC_MEDIA_802_3.

memrange=0xXXXXXXXX

Register base physical memory address.

mtu=num

Maximum transmission unit. The default is 1514.

nomulticast

Disable multicast support.

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=N

Be verbose. Specify N for more verbosity (N 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-eepro.so driver controls Intel Ether Express Pro ISA Ethernet adapters.

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 Ether Express Pro driver and the full TCP/IP stack:

io-net -d eepro -ptcpip
ifconfig en0 10.184
