`devn-ne2000.so`

Driver for NE-2000 compatible Ethernet adapters

Syntax:

io-net -d ne2000 [option[,option ...]] ...

Options:

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

ioport=num: I/O port of the interface. The port parameter must be a hex address (e.g. 0x320). The default is automatically detected on supported hardware (but see caution below).
irq=num: IRQ of the interface. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware (but see caution below).
mac=XXXXXXXXXXXX: MAC address of the 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 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.
width=8|16: I/O access width (8 or 16 bits). The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.

Description:

The devn-ne2000.so driver controls NE-2000 compatible 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 NE-2000 driver and the full TCP/IP stack:

io-net -d ne2000 ioport=0x320,irq=11 -p tcpip
ifconfig en0 10.184

Caveats:

If you are running a PCMCIA NE2000-compatible adapter, you may need to specify the -w8 command line option of devp-pccard.
