37.Sh NAME
38.Nm il
39.Nd Interlan NI1010 10 Mb/s Ethernet interface
40.Sh SYNOPSIS
41.Cd "device il0 at uba0 csr 164000 vector ilrint ilcint"
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43The
44.Nm il
45interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network through
46an Interlan 1010 or 1010A controller.
47.Pp
48Each of the host's network addresses
49is specified at boot time with an
50.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
51.Xr ioctl 2 .
52The
53.Nm il
54interface employs the address resolution protocol described in
55.Xr arp 4
56to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
57network.
58.Pp
59The interface normally tries to use a ``trailer'' encapsulation
60to minimize copying data on input and output.
61The use of trailers is negotiated with
62.Tn ARP .
63This negotiation may be disabled, on a per-interface basis,
64by setting the
65.Dv IFF_NOTRAILERS
66flag with an
67.Dv SIOCSIFFLAGS
68.Xr ioctl .
69.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
70.Bl -diag
71.It il%d: input error.
72The hardware indicated an error
73in reading a packet off the cable or an illegally sized packet.
74.Pp
75.It il%d: can't handle af%d.
76The interface was handed
77a message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address
78family; the packet was dropped.
79.Pp
80.It il%d: setaddr didn't work.
81The interface was unable to reprogram
82its physical ethernet address.
83This may happen with very early models of the interface.
84This facility is used only when
85the controller is not the first network interface configured for
86.Tn XNS .
87The oldest interface tested (2.7.1.0.1.45) has never failed in this way.
88.Pp
89.It il%d: reset failed, csr=%b.
90.It il%d: status failed, csr=%b.
91.It il%d: hardware diag failed, csr=%b.
92.It il%d: verifying setaddr, csr=%b.
93.It il%d: stray xmit interrupt, csr=%b.
94.It il%d: can't initialize.
95The above messages indicate a probable hardware error performing
96the indicated operation during autoconfiguration or initialization.
97The status field in the control and status register (the low-order four bits)
98should indicate the nature of the failure.
99See the hardware manual for details.
