devn-tulip-p5064.so

Tulip driver for the Algorithmics P-5064 single board computer only

Syntax:

io-net -d tulip-p5064 [option[,option ...]] ...

Options:

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

connector=type

Network cable connector type:

0

BNC

1

UTP

2

AUI

3

FIBER

The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.

chipset=number

The number of the chipset to be configured. The driver stops after configuring the first chipset it finds of the type number. Supported chipset numbers include:

DEC/Intel

21040, 21041, 21140, 21143, 21145

PNIC

168

ADMtek

985

Macronix

98715

did=devid

Device ID. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.

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. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.

mtu=X

Maximum transmission unit. 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=0|1

If set to 1, enable the driver to pass all data packets received, regardless of address. The default is 0.

receive=X

Number of receive descriptors/buffers. The default is 32.

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=X

Number of transmit descriptors/buffers. The default is 20.

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

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

Description:

The devn-tulip-p5064.so driver is the Tulip driver for the Algorithmics P-5064 single board computer only.

When you start a single instance of the Tulip driver on a multiport board (using the pci= option), the board might not function unless this instance is on the first interface. On NICs with multiple interfaces sharing a single SROM, the first NIC is the only one that can read the SROM.

Examples:

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

io-net -d tulip-p5064 -p tcpip
