DECstation AMD 7990 LANCE Ethernet interface

|

.Cd "le* at mainbus? with le_pmax" (3100 baseboard)
|
||||
.Cd "le* at tc? with le_tc" (5000/200 baseboard)

|
||||
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
driver provides access to a 10Mb/s Ethernet via the
|
||||
.Tn AMD
|
||||
7990
|
||||
.Tn LANCE
|
||||
Ethernet chip.
|
||||
All
|
||||
.Tn LANCE
|
||||
interfaces on
|
||||
.Tn DECstations
|
||||
are supported, as are interfaces on
|
||||
.Tn "Alpha AXP"
|
||||
machines with a
|
||||
.Tn TurboChannel
|
||||
bus.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
driver employs the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) described in
|
||||
.Xr arp 4
|
||||
to map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local network.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Selective reception of multicast Ethernet frames is provided
|
||||
by a 64-bit mask; multicast destination addresses are hashed to a
|
||||
bit entry using the Ethernet CRC function.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
No support is provided for switching between media ports.
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Tn DECstation
|
||||
3100 provides both AUI and BNC (thinwire or 10base2) connectors.
|
||||
Port selection is via a manual switch and is not software configurable.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Tn DECstation
|
||||
model 5000/200
|
||||
.Tn PMAD-AA
|
||||
baseboard device provides only a BNC connector.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm ioasic
|
||||
baseboard devices and the
|
||||
.Tn PMAD-AA
|
||||
.Tn TurboChannel
|
||||
option card provide only an AUI port.

.Sh BUGS
|
||||
On all front-ends, performance is impaired by hardware which
|
||||
forces a software copy of packets to and from DMA buffers.
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm ioasic
|
||||
machines and the
|
||||
.Tn DECstation
|
||||
3100 must
|
||||
copy packets to and from non-contiguous DMA buffers.
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Tn DECstation
|
||||
5000/200 and the
|
||||
.Tn PMAD-AA
|
||||
must copy to and from an onboard SRAM DMA buffer.
|
||||
The CPU overhead is noticeable, but all machines
|
||||
can sustain full 10 Mb/s media speed.
|
||||
.Sh HISTORY
|
||||
This
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
driver is derived from a
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
driver that first appeared in
|
||||
.Bx 4.4 .
|
||||
Support for multiple bus attachments first appeared in
|
||||
.Nx 1.2 .
