devn-ppc860_mii.so

Driver for PPC860T Fast Ethernet controller

Syntax:

io-net -d ppc860_mii [option[,option ...]] ...

Options:

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

duplex=dup

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 the controller.

mtu=X

Maximum transmission unit. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.

receive=num

Set the number of receive descriptors. The default is 30.

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 15.

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-ppc860_mii.so driver controls the PPC860T Ethernet controller.

Examples:

Start io-net using the PPC860T driver and the full TCP/IP stack:

io-net -d ppc860_mii -p tcpip
