where variant is one of v4, v4-hc, or
v6-hc.

|
Use commas, not spaces, to separate the options. |
- connector=0|1|2|3
- Network cable connector type:
- 0
- BNC
- 1
- UTP
- 2
- AUI
- 3
- FIBER
The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.
- 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 the controller. If no SROM is available,
the MAC will default to 00:00:00:00:00:00.
- nomulticast
- Disables the driver from sending or receiving multicast
packets. By default, multicast is enabled.
- nosrom
- Informs the driver that there is no valid connected SROM: the
driver will default to using media independent interface (MII), physical media interface (PHY) auto-negotiation.
(A valid MAC address must be supplied on the command line.)
- pci=0xXXXX
- PCI index of the controller. The default is
automatically detected on supported hardware.
- phyaddr=num
- Override the MII routines and use the specified PHY address.
- pktque=num
- Limit the number of packets in the queue. The default is 100.
- priority=num
- Priority of the driver thread. The default is 21.
- promiscuous
- Enable the driver to pass all data packets received,
regardless of address. By default, promiscuous mode is disabled.
- receive=num
- Number of receive descriptors/buffers. The default is 64.
- single
- Use this option if you have multiple Tulip cards in your system
and want to configure them differently. The single option
tells the driver to stop after configuring the first Tulip card it finds.
The order of the search can't be determined because it depends
on the PCI server and PCI BIOS used. After the first card has been
configured, when the driver is invoked again, it will find and configure
the next card in order, and so on until all Tulip cards have been configured.
The default is to enable all Tulip cards found.
- 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).
- threshold=N
- Amount of packet data that must be in TX FIFO before
transmission is initiated. The range is 0-4. The default is 3.
If you observe transmit underruns, set the number to 4.
- transmit=num
- Number of transmit descriptors/buffers. 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.
The devn-tulip.so driver controls DEC 21x4x (Tulip) compatible
Ethernet adapters.
This is a legacy io-net driver;
its interface names are in the form enX, where
X is an integer.
|
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. |
Some devices support hardware checksums, although some might do so in
only one direction; to determine if your device does, type:
ifconfig enX
and look for the following in the list of supported options:
- ip4csum, ip4csum-rx, ip4csum-tx
- tcp4csum, tcp4csum-rx, tcp4csum-tx
- tcp6csum, tcp6csum-rx, tcp6csum-tx
- udp4csum, udp4csum-rx, udp4csum-tx
- udp6csum, udp6csum-rx, udp6csum-tx
You can then use
ifconfig
to enable or disable whichever of these options your device supports.
Start io-pkt-v6-hc using the Tulip driver:
io-pkt-v6-hc -d tulip
ifconfig en0 10.0.0.184
- /dev/io-net
- The directory where, by default, drivers and protocol modules add
entries.
