AL981 Comet and AN 985 +Centaur Fast Ethernet controller chips. +.Pp +The ADMtek chip uses bus master DMA and is designed to be a +DEC 21x4x workalike. The only major difference between the DEC +and ADMtek parts is that the ADMtek receiver filter is programmed +using two special registers where as the DEC chip is programmed +by uploading a special setup frame via the transmit DMA engine. +The AL981 and AN985 can only be programmed with a single +perfect filter entry for the local station address and a 64-bit +multicast hash table; the DEC filter supports several other +options. The ADMtek Fast Ethernet controllers support both +10 and 100Mbps speeds in either full or half duplex using +an internal MII transceiver. +.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 +.Pa /etc/rc.conf +fine. +.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. +.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 "ax%d: couldn't map memory" +A fatal initialization error has occurred. +.It "ax%d: couldn't map interrupt" +A fatal initialization error has occurred. +.It "ax%d: watchdog timeout" +The device has stopped responding to the network, or there is a problem with +the network connection (cable). +.It "ax%d: no memory for rx list" +The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the receiver ring. +.It "ax%d: no memory for tx list" +The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the transmitter ring when +allocating a pad buffer or collapsing an mbuf chain into a cluster. +.It "ax%d: chip is in D3 power state -- setting to D0" +This message applies only to adapters which support power +management. Some operating systems place the controller in low power +mode when shutting down, and some PCI BIOSes fail to bring the chip +out of this state before configuring it. The controller loses all of +its PCI configuration in the D3 state, so if the BIOS does not set +it back to full power mode in time, it won't be able to configure it +correctly. The driver tries to detect this condition and bring +the adapter back to the D0 (full power) state, but this may not be +enough to return the driver to a fully operational condition. If +you see this message at boot time and the driver fails to attach +the device as a network interface, you will have to perform second +warm boot to have the device properly configured. +.Pp +Note that this condition only occurs when warm booting from another +operating system. If you power down your system prior to booting +.Fx , +the card should be configured correctly. +.El +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr arp 4 , +.Xr netintro 4 , +.Xr ifconfig 8 +.Rs +.%T ADMtek AL981 data sheet +.%O http://www.admtek.com.tw +.Re +.Sh HISTORY +The +.Nm +device driver first appeared in +.Ox 2.7 . +.Sh AUTHORS +The +.Nm +driver was written by +.An Bill Paul Aq wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu . |
