10 Mb/s Ethernet interface
|
||
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
.Cd "device enp0 at vba? csr 0xfff40000 vector enpintr"
|
||
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Nm enp
|
||
|
interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network through
|
||
|
a
|
||
|
.Tn CMC ENP-20
|
||
|
controller.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The hardware has 128 kilobytes of dual-ported memory on the
|
||
|
.Tn VERSAbus .
|
||
|
This memory
|
||
|
is used for internal buffering by the board, and the interface code reads
|
||
|
the buffer contents directly through the
|
||
|
.Tn VERSAbus .
|
||
|
The address of this memory is derived from the address specified
|
||
|
in the configuration file.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
Each of the host's network addresses
|
||
|
is specified at boot time with an
|
||
|
.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
|
||
|
.Xr ioctl 2 .
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Nm enp
|
||
|
interface employs the address resolution protocol described in
|
||
|
.Xr arp 4
|
||
|
to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
|
||
|
network.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The interface normally tries to use a
|
||
|
.Dq trailer
|
||
|
encapsulation
|
||
|
to minimize copying data on input and output.
|
||
|
The use of trailers is negotiated with
|
||
|
.Tn ARP .
|
||
|
This negotiation may be disabled, on a per-interface basis,
|
||
|
by setting the
|
||
|
.Dv IFF_NOTRAILERS
|
||
|
flag with an
|
||
|
.Dv SIOCSIFFLAGS
|
||
|
.Xr ioctl .
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
Associated with each interface is a character device which
|
||
|
is used to dowload, start, and reset the firmware in the controller.
|
||
|
Reading or writing the
|
||
|
.Dq ram device
|
||
|
reads or writes the writable
|
||
|
control store in the controller. Two
|
||
|
.Xr ioctl 2
|
||
|
calls,
|
||
|
.Dv ENPIOGO
|
||
|
and
|
||
|
.Dv ENPIORESET ,
|
||
|
are used to start and reset the
|
||
|
firmware.
|
||
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
||
|
.Bl -diag
|
||
|
.It enp%d: can't handle af%d.
|
||
|
The interface was handed
|
||
|
a message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address
|
||
|
family; the packet was dropped.

.Sh HISTORY
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Nm
|
||
|
driver appeared in
|
||
|
.Bx 4.3 tahoe .
|
||
|
.Sh BUGS
|
||
|
The hardware is not capable of talking to itself. The software
|
||
|
implements local sending and broadcast by sending such packets to the
|
||
|
loop interface. This is a kludge.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The link level firmware does not support setting the board's
|
||
|
Ethernet address.
