35.Sh NAME
36.Nm vv
37.Nd Proteon proNET 10 Megabit ring network
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.Cd "vv0 at uba0 csr 0161000 vector vvrint vvxint"
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41NOTE: This driver has not been ported from
42.Bx 4.4
43yet.
44.Pp
45The
46.Nm vv
47interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Proteon
48.Tn proNET
49ring network.
50.Pp
51The network address of the interface must be specified with an
52.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
53.Xr ioctl 2
54before data can be transmitted or received.
55It is only permissible to change the network address while the
56interface is marked
57.Dq down .
58.Pp
59The host's hardware address is discovered by putting the interface in
60digital loopback mode (not joining the ring) and sending a broadcast
61packet from which the hardware address is extracted.
62.Pp
63Transmit timeouts are detected through use of a watchdog routine.
64Lost input interrupts are checked for when packets are sent out.
65.Pp
66If the installation is running
67.Tn CTL
68boards which use the old broadcast
69address of
70.Ql 0
71instead of the new address of
72.Ql 0xff ,
73the define
74.Dv OLD_BROADCAST
75should be specified in the driver.
76.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
77.Bl -diag
78.It vv%d: host %d.
79The software announces the host
80address discovered during autoconfiguration.
81.It vv%d: can't initialize.
82The software was unable to
83discover the address of this interface, so it deemed
84"dead" will not be enabled.
85.It vv%d: error vvocsr=%b.
86The hardware indicated an error on
87the previous transmission.
88.It vv%d: output timeout.
89The token timer has fired and the
90token will be recreated.
91.It vv%d: error vvicsr=%b.
92The hardware indicated an error
93in reading a packet off the ring.
94.It vv%d: can't handle af%d.
95The interface was handed
96a message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address
97family; the packet was dropped.
98.It vv%d: vs_olen=%d.
99The ring output routine has been
100handed a message with a preposterous length.
101This results in an immediate
102.Em panic: vs_olen .
