38.Os
39.Sh NAME
40.Nm hy
41.Nd Network Systems Hyperchannel interface
42.Sh SYNOPSIS
43.Cd "hy0 at uba0 csr 0172410 vector hyint"
44.Sh DESCRIPTION
45NOTE: This driver has not been ported from
46.Bx 4.4
47yet.
48.Pp
49The
50.Nm hy
51interface provides access to a Network
52Systems Corporation Hyperchannel Adapter.
53.Pp
54The network to which the interface is attached
55is specified at boot time with an
56.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
57.Xr ioctl 2 .
58The host's address is discovered by reading the adapter status
59register.  The interface will not transmit or receive
60packets until the network number is known.
61.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
62.Bl -diag
63.It "hy%d: unit number 0x%x port %d type %x microcode level 0x%x."
64Identifies the device during autoconfiguration.
65.Pp
66.It hy%d: can't handle af%d.
67The interface was handed
68a message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address
69family; the packet was dropped.
70.Pp
71.It hy%d: can't initialize.
72The interface was unable to allocate
73.Tn UNIBUS
74resources. This
75is usually due to having too many network devices on an 11/750
76where there are only 3 buffered data paths.
77.Pp
78.It hy%d: NEX - Non Existent Memory.
79Non existent memory error returned from hardware.
80.Pp
81.It hy%d:  BAR overflow.
82Bus address register
83overflow error returned from hardware.
84.Pp
85.It hy%d: Power Off bit set, trying to reset.
86Adapter has lost power, driver will reset the bit
87and see if power is still out in the adapter.
88.Pp
89.It hy%d: Power Off Error, network shutdown.
90Power was really off in the adapter, network
91connections are dropped.
92Software does not shut down the network unless
93power has been off for a while.
94.Pp
95.It hy%d: RECVD MP > MPSIZE (%d).
96A message proper was received that is too big.
97Probable a driver bug.
98Shouldn't happen.
99.Pp
100.It "hy%d: xmit error \- len > hy_olen [%d > %d]."
101Probable driver error.
102Shouldn't happen.
103.Pp
104.It hy%d: DRIVER BUG \- INVALID STATE %d.
105The driver state machine reached a non-existent state.
106Definite driver bug.
107.Pp
108.It hy%d: watchdog timer expired.
109A command in the adapter has taken too long to complete.
110Driver will abort and retry the command.
111.Pp
112.It hy%d: adapter power restored.
113Software was able to reset the power off bit,
114indicating that the power has been restored.

117.Xr inet 4 ,
118.Xr netintro 4
119.Sh HISTORY
120The
121.Nm
122interface appeared in
123.Bx 4.2 .
124.Sh BUGS
125If the adapter does not respond to the status command
126issued during autoconfigure, the adapter is assumed down.
127A reboot is required to recognize it.
128.Pp
129The adapter power fail interrupt seems to occur
130sporadically when power has, in fact, not failed.
131The driver will believe that power has failed
132only if it can not reset the power fail latch after
133a
134.Dq reasonable
135time interval.
136These seem to appear about 2-4 times a day on some machines.
137There seems to be no correlation with adapter
138rev level, number of ports used etc. and whether a
139machine will get these
140.Dq bogus powerfails .
141They don't seem to cause any real problems so they have
142been ignored.
