1147674Scael.Sh NAME
1247674Scael.Nm il
1347674Scael.Nd Interlan NI1010 10 Mb/s Ethernet interface
1447674Scael.Sh SYNOPSIS
1547674Scael.Cd "device il0 at uba0 csr 164000 vector ilrint ilcint"
1647674Scael.Sh DESCRIPTION
1720722SmckusickThe
1847674Scael.Nm il
1920722Smckusickinterface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network through
2028251Skarelsan Interlan 1010 or 1010A controller.
2147674Scael.Pp
2228251SkarelsEach of the host's network addresses
2347674Scaelis specified at boot time with an
2447674Scael.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
2547674Scael.Xr ioctl 2 .
2647674ScaelThe
2747674Scael.Nm il
2820722Smckusickinterface employs the address resolution protocol described in
2947674Scael.Xr arp 4
3020722Smckusickto dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
3120722Smckusicknetwork.
3247674Scael.Pp
3320722SmckusickThe interface normally tries to use a ``trailer'' encapsulation
3428251Skarelsto minimize copying data on input and output.
3547674ScaelThe use of trailers is negotiated with
3647674Scael.Tn ARP .
3728251SkarelsThis negotiation may be disabled, on a per-interface basis,
3847674Scaelby setting the
3947674Scael.Dv IFF_NOTRAILERS
4047674Scaelflag with an
4147674Scael.Dv SIOCSIFFLAGS
4247674Scael.Xr ioctl .
4347674Scael.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
4447674Scael.Bl -diag
4547674Scael.It il%d: input error.
4647674ScaelThe hardware indicated an error
4720722Smckusickin reading a packet off the cable or an illegally sized packet.
4847674Scael.Pp
4947674Scael.It il%d: can't handle af%d.
5047674ScaelThe interface was handed
5120722Smckusicka message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address
5220722Smckusickfamily; the packet was dropped.
5347674Scael.Pp
5447674Scael.It il%d: setaddr didn't work.
5547674ScaelThe interface was unable to reprogram
5626210Ssklowerits physical ethernet address.
5726210SsklowerThis may happen with very early models of the interface.
5826210SsklowerThis facility is used only when
5947674Scaelthe controller is not the first network interface configured for
6047674Scael.Tn XNS .
6126210SsklowerThe oldest interface tested (2.7.1.0.1.45) has never failed in this way.
6247674Scael.Pp
6347674Scael.It il%d: reset failed, csr=%b.
6447674Scael.It il%d: status failed, csr=%b.
6547674Scael.It il%d: hardware diag failed, csr=%b.
6647674Scael.It il%d: verifying setaddr, csr=%b.
6747674Scael.It il%d: stray xmit interrupt, csr=%b.
6847674Scael.It il%d: can't initialize.
6947674ScaelThe above messages indicate a probable hardware error performing
7026210Ssklowerthe indicated operation during autoconfiguration or initialization.
7126210SsklowerThe status field in the control and status register (the low-order four bits)
7226210Ssklowershould indicate the nature of the failure.
7326210SsklowerSee the hardware manual for details.
