12*47674Scael.Nm il
13*47674Scael.Nd Interlan NI1010 10 Mb/s Ethernet interface
14*47674Scael.Sh SYNOPSIS
15*47674Scael.Cd "device il0 at uba0 csr 164000 vector ilrint ilcint"
16*47674Scael.Sh DESCRIPTION
1720722SmckusickThe
18*47674Scael.Nm il
1920722Smckusickinterface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network through
2028251Skarelsan Interlan 1010 or 1010A controller.
21*47674Scael.Pp
2228251SkarelsEach of the host's network addresses
23*47674Scaelis specified at boot time with an
24*47674Scael.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
25*47674Scael.Xr ioctl 2 .
26*47674ScaelThe
27*47674Scael.Nm il
2820722Smckusickinterface employs the address resolution protocol described in
29*47674Scael.Xr arp 4
3020722Smckusickto dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
3120722Smckusicknetwork.
32*47674Scael.Pp
3320722SmckusickThe interface normally tries to use a ``trailer'' encapsulation
3428251Skarelsto minimize copying data on input and output.
35*47674ScaelThe use of trailers is negotiated with
36*47674Scael.Tn ARP .
3728251SkarelsThis negotiation may be disabled, on a per-interface basis,
38*47674Scaelby setting the
39*47674Scael.Dv IFF_NOTRAILERS
40*47674Scaelflag with an
41*47674Scael.Dv SIOCSIFFLAGS
42*47674Scael.Xr ioctl .
43*47674Scael.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
44*47674Scael.Bl -diag
45*47674Scael.It il%d: input error.
46*47674ScaelThe hardware indicated an error
4720722Smckusickin reading a packet off the cable or an illegally sized packet.
48*47674Scael.Pp
49*47674Scael.It il%d: can't handle af%d.
50*47674ScaelThe interface was handed
5120722Smckusicka message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address
5220722Smckusickfamily; the packet was dropped.
53*47674Scael.Pp
54*47674Scael.It il%d: setaddr didn't work.
55*47674ScaelThe 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
59*47674Scaelthe controller is not the first network interface configured for
60*47674Scael.Tn XNS .
6126210SsklowerThe oldest interface tested (2.7.1.0.1.45) has never failed in this way.
62*47674Scael.Pp
63*47674Scael.It il%d: reset failed, csr=%b.
64*47674Scael.It il%d: status failed, csr=%b.
65*47674Scael.It il%d: hardware diag failed, csr=%b.
66*47674Scael.It il%d: verifying setaddr, csr=%b.
67*47674Scael.It il%d: stray xmit interrupt, csr=%b.
68*47674Scael.It il%d: can't initialize.
69*47674ScaelThe 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.
