devn-ns83815.so

Driver for National Semiconductor's MacPHYTER NS83815 Ethernet adapters

Syntax:

io-net -d ns83815 [option[,option ...]] ...

Options:

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

did=0xXXXX

PCI device ID. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.

duplex=0|1

Half (0) or full (1) duplex mode. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware. If you specify duplex, specify speed as well; if duplex alone is specified, it is ignored and both speed and duplex are auto-negotiated.

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.

pci=0xXXXX

PCI index of the controller. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.

promiscuous

Enable promiscuous mode. The default is off.

receive=num

Set the number of receive descriptors. The default is 64.

speed=10|100

Media data rate (10Mbit or 100Mbit operation). The default is automatically detected on supported hardware. If you specify speed, specify duplex as well; if speed alone is specified, the specified speed will be correctly set, but duplex will default to half (0).

transmit=num

Set the number of transmit descriptors. The default is 128.

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.

vid=0xXXXX

The PCI Vendor ID of the controller. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.

Description:

The devn-ns83815.so driver controls National Semiconductor's MacPHYTER NS83815 Ethernet adapters.

Examples:

Start io-net using the NS83815 driver and the full TCP/IP stack:

io-net -d ns83815 -p tcpip
ifconfig en0 10.184
