|

10 Mb/s Ethernet interface
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "de0 at uba0 csr 174510 vector deintr"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm de
|
|
interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network through
|
|
a Digital Equipment
|
|
.Tn UNIBUS
|
|
Network Adapter
|
|
.Pq Tn DEUNA .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each of the host's network addresses
|
|
is specified at boot time with an
|
|
.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2 .
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm de
|
|
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 .
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.Bl -diag
|
|
.It de%d: hardware address %s.
|
|
This is a normal autoconfiguration message noting the 6 byte physical
|
|
Ethernet address of the adapter.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It de%d: oerror, flags=%b tdrerr=%b (len=%d).
|
|
The hardware indicated an error
|
|
in transmitting a packet to the cable.
|
|
The status and error flags are reported.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It de%d: ierror, flags=%b lenerr=%b (len=%d).
|
|
The hardware indicated an error
|
|
in reading a packet from the cable.
|
|
The status and error flags are reported.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It de%d: can't handle af%d.
|
|
The interface was handed
|
|
a message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address
|
|
family; the packet was dropped.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It de%d: buffer unavailable.
|
|
The interface received more packets
|
|
than it had buffers allocated to receive them.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It de%d: address change failed, csr0=%b csr1=%b.
|
|
The interface was unable to reprogram
|
|
its physical Ethernet address.
|
|
This may happen with very early models of the interface.
|
|
This facility is used only when
|
|
the controller is not the first network interface configured for
|
|
.Tn XNS .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following messages indicate a probable hardware error performing
|
|
the indicated operation during autoconfiguration or initialization.
|
|
The two control and status registers
|
|
should indicate the nature of the failure.
|
|
See the hardware manual for details.
