33 .Nd "SMC 83c17x Fast Ethernet device driver"
35 To compile this driver into the kernel,
36 place the following lines in your
37 kernel configuration file:
38 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
43 Alternatively, to load the driver as a
44 module at boot time, place the following line in
46 .Bd -literal -offset indent
49 .Sh DEPRECATION NOTICE
52 driver is not present in
55 See https://github.com/freebsd/fcp/blob/master/fcp-0101.md for more
60 driver provides support for the Ethernet adapters based on the
61 SMC 83c17x (EPIC) chips.
62 These are mostly SMC 9432 series cards.
66 driver supports the following media types (depending on card's capabilities):
67 .Bl -tag -width ".Cm 10baseT/UTP"
69 Enable autonegotiation (default).
71 Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) fiber optic operation.
73 Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) twisted pair operation.
75 Set 10Mbps on 10baseT port.
77 Set 10Mbps on 10base2 port.
82 driver supports the following media options:
83 .Bl -tag -width ".Cm full-duplex"
85 Set full-duplex operation.
90 driver supports oversized Ethernet packets (up to 1600 bytes).
93 man page on setting the interface's MTU.
96 .Dq Li "ifconfig tx0 linkN"
97 method of configuration is not supported.
98 .Ss "VLAN (IEEE 802.1Q) support"
101 driver supports the VLAN operation (using
103 interfaces) without decreasing the MTU on the
108 .It "tx%d: device timeout %d packets"
109 The device stops responding.
110 Device and driver reset follows this error.
111 .It "tx%d: PCI fatal error occurred (%s)"
112 One of following errors occurred: PCI Target Abort, PCI Master Abort, Data
113 Parity Error or Address Parity Error.
114 Device and driver reset follows this error.
115 .It "tx%d: cannot allocate mbuf header/cluster"
116 Cannot allocate memory for received packet.
118 .It "tx%d: can't stop %s DMA"
119 While resetting, the driver failed to stop the device correctly.
128 The auto-negotiation does not work very well.
