1747674Scael.Cd "device de0 at uba0 csr 174510 vector deintr"
1847674Scael.Sh DESCRIPTION
1926208SsklowerThe
2047674Scael.Nm de
2126208Ssklowerinterface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network through
2247674Scaela Digital Equipment
2347674Scael.Tn UNIBUS
2447674ScaelNetwork Adapter
2547674Scael.Pq Tn DEUNA .
2647674Scael.Pp
2728251SkarelsEach of the host's network addresses
2847674Scaelis specified at boot time with an
2947674Scael.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
3047674Scael.Xr ioctl 2 .
3147674ScaelThe
3247674Scael.Nm de
3326208Ssklowerinterface employs the address resolution protocol described in
3447674Scael.Xr arp 4
3526208Ssklowerto dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
3626208Ssklowernetwork.
3747674Scael.Pp
3847674ScaelThe interface normally tries to use a
3947674Scael.Dq trailer
4047674Scaelencapsulation
4128251Skarelsto minimize copying data on input and output.
4247674ScaelThe use of trailers is negotiated with
4347674Scael.Tn ARP .
4428251SkarelsThis negotiation may be disabled, on a per-interface basis,
4547674Scaelby setting the
4647674Scael.Dv IFF_NOTRAILERS
4747674Scaelflag with an
4847674Scael.Dv SIOCSIFFLAGS
4947674Scael.Xr ioctl .

5247674Scael.It de%d: hardware address %s.
5326208SsklowerThis is a normal autoconfiguration message noting the 6 byte physical
5426208Ssklowerethernet address of the adapter.
5547674Scael.Pp
5647674Scael.It de%d: oerror, flags=%b tdrerr=%b (len=%d).
5726208SsklowerThe hardware indicated an error
5826208Ssklowerin transmitting a packet to the cable.
5926208SsklowerThe status and error flags are reported.
6047674Scael.Pp
6147674Scael.It de%d: ierror, flags=%b lenerr=%b (len=%d).
6226208SsklowerThe hardware indicated an error
6326208Ssklowerin reading a packet from the cable.
6426208SsklowerThe status and error flags are reported.
6547674Scael.Pp
6647674Scael.It de%d: can't handle af%d.
6747674ScaelThe interface was handed
6826208Ssklowera message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address
6926208Ssklowerfamily; the packet was dropped.
7047674Scael.Pp
7147674Scael.It de%d: buffer unavailable.
7247674ScaelThe interface received more packets
7326208Ssklowerthan it had buffers allocated to receive them.
7447674Scael.Pp
7547674Scael.It de%d: address change failed, csr0=%b csr1=%b.
7626208SsklowerThe interface was unable to reprogram
7726208Ssklowerits physical ethernet address.
7826208SsklowerThis may happen with very early models of the interface.
7926208SsklowerThis facility is used only when
8047674Scaelthe controller is not the first network interface configured for
8147674Scael.Tn XNS .

8426208SsklowerThe following messages indicate a probable hardware error performing
8526208Ssklowerthe indicated operation during autoconfiguration or initialization.
8626208SsklowerThe two control and status registers
8726208Ssklowershould indicate the nature of the failure.
