The Tigon +contains an embedded R4000 CPU, gigabit MAC, dual DMA channels and +a PCI interface unit. The Tigon II contains two R4000 CPUs and other +refinements. Either chip can be used in either a 32-bit or 64-bit PCI +slot. Communication with the chip is achieved via PCI shared memory +and bus master DMA. The Tigon I and II support hardware multicast +address filtering, VLAN tag extraction and insertion, and jumbo +ethernet frames sizes up to 9000 bytes. Note that the Tigon I chipset +is no longer in active production: all new adapters should come equipped +with Tigon II chipsets. +.Pp +There are several PCI boards available from both Alteon and other +vendors that use the Tigon chipset under OEM contract. The +.Nm +driver has been tested with the following Tigon-based adapters: +.Bl -bullet -offset indent +.It +The Alteon AceNIC V gigabit ethernet adapter +.It +The 3Com 3c985-SX gigabit ethernet adapter +.It +The Netgear GA620 gigabit ethernet adapter +.El +.Pp +The following should also be supported but have not yet been tested: +.Bl -bullet -offset indent +.It +The Digital EtherWORKS 1000SX PCI Gigabit Adapter +.It +Silicon Graphics PCI gigabit ethernet adapter +.El +.Pp +While the Tigon chipset supports 10, 100 and 1000Mbps speeds, support for +10 and 100Mbps speeds is only available on boards with the proper +transceivers. Most adapters are only designed to work at 1000Mbps, +however the driver should support those NICs that work at lower speeds +as well. +.Pp +Support for jumbo frames is provided via the interface MTU setting. +Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the +.Xr ifconfig 8 +utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit jumbo frames. +Using jumbo frames can greatly improve performance for certain tasks, +such as file transfers and data streaming. +.Pp +The +.Nm +driver supports the following media types: +.Pp +.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx +.It autoselect +Enable autoselection of the media type and options. +The user can manually override +the autoselected mode by adding media options to the appropriate +.Pa /etc/hostname.tiX +file. +.It 10baseT/UTP +Set 10Mbps operation. The +.Ar mediaopt +option can also be used to select either +.Ar full-duplex +or +.Ar half-duplex modes. +.It 100baseTX +Set 100Mbps (fast ethernet) operation. The +.Ar mediaopt +option can also be used to select either +.Ar full-duplex +or +.Ar half-duplex +modes. +.It 1000baseSX +Set 1000Mbps (gigabit ethernet) operation. Only full +.Ar full-duplex +mode is supported at this speed. +.El +.Pp +The +.Nm +driver supports the following media options: +.Pp +.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx +.It full-duplex +Force full duplex operation +.It half-duplex +Force half duplex operation. +.El +.Pp +For more information on configuring this device, see +.Xr ifconfig 8 . +.Sh DIAGNOSTICS +.Bl -diag +.It "ti%d: couldn't map memory" +A fatal initialization error has occurred. +.It "ti%d: couldn't map interrupt" +A fatal initialization error has occurred. +.It "ti%d: no memory for softc struct!" +The driver failed to allocate memory for per-device instance information +during initialization. +.It "ti%d: failed to enable memory mapping!" +The driver failed to initialize PCI shared memory mapping. This might +happen if the card is not in a bus-master slot. +.It "ti%d: no memory for jumbo buffers!" +The driver failed to allocate memory for jumbo frames during +initialization. +.It "ti%d: bios thinks we're in a 64 bit slot, but we aren't" +The BIOS has programmed the NIC as though it had been installed in +a 64-bit PCI slot, but in fact the NIC is in a 32-bit slot. This happens +as a result of a bug in some BIOSes. This can be worked around on the +Tigon II, but on the Tigon I initialization will fail. +.It "ti%d: board self-diagnostics failed!" +The ROMFAIL bit in the CPU state register was set after system +startup, indicating that the on-board NIC diagnostics failed. +.It "ti%d: unknown hwrev" +The driver detected a board with an unsupported hardware revision. The +.Nm +driver supports revision 4 (Tigon 1) and revision 6 (Tigon 2) chips +and has firmware only for those devices. +.It "ti%d: watchdog timeout" +The device has stopped responding to the network, or there is a problem with +the network connection (cable). +.El +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr arp 4 , +.Xr ifmedia 4 , +.Xr netintro 4 , +.Xr ifconfig 8 +.Rs +.%T Alteon Gigabit Ethernet/PCI NIC manuals +.%O http://www.alteon.com/support/openkits +.Re +.Sh HISTORY +The +.Nm +device driver first appeared in +.Fx 3.0 . +.Ox +support first appeared in +.Ox 2.6 . +.Sh AUTHOR +The +.Nm +driver was written by +.An Bill Paul Aq wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu . |
