devn-el589.so

Driver for 3Com 589 PCMCIA Ethernet adapters

Syntax:

io-net -d el589 [option[,option ...]] ...

Options:

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

ioport=num

The I/O port of the interface. This is a required parameter and port must be a hex address (e.g. 0x320).

irq=num

The IRQ of the interface. This is a required parameter.

mac=XXXXXXXXXXXX

MAC address of controller. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.

nomulticast

Disables the driver from sending or receiving multicast packets. By default, multicast is enabled.

promiscuous

Enable promiscuous mode. The default is off.

tmem=name

Name to use for typed memory.

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 output goes to slogger, invoke sloginfo to view.

Description:

The devn-el589.so driver controls 3Com 589 PCMCIA Ethernet adapters.

Examples:

Start io-net using the 589 PCMCIA Ethernet adapter driver and the full TCP/IP stack:

io-net -d el589 ioport=0x200,irq=7 -p tcpip
ifconfig en0 10.184

Caveats:

You must specify the ioport and irq options when using this driver.

The PCMCIA/Cardbus server, devp-pccard, must be started before running this driver.
