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

113.Sh HISTORY
114The
115.Nm
116interface appeared in
117.Bx 4.2 .
118.Sh BUGS
119If the adapter does not respond to the status command
120issued during autoconfigure, the adapter is assumed down.
121A reboot is required to recognize it.
122.Pp
123The adapter power fail interrupt seems to occur
124sporadically when power has, in fact, not failed.
125The driver will believe that power has failed
126only if it can not reset the power fail latch after
127a
128.Dq reasonable
129time interval.
130These seem to appear about 2-4 times a day on some machines.
131There seems to be no correlation with adapter
132rev level, number of ports used etc. and whether a
133machine will get these
134.Dq bogus powerfails .
135They don't seem to cause any real problems so they have
136been ignored.
