30.Sh NAME
31.Nm de
32.Nd DEC DC21x4x (Tulip) Ethernet driver
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.Cd "de* at pci? dev ? function ?"
35.Sh DESCRIPTION
36The
37.Nm
38device driver supports Ethernet adapters based on the Digital
39Equipment DC21x4x based self-contained Ethernet chips.
40This includes, among others, the following models:
41.Pp
42.Bl -tag -width -offset indent -compact
43.It Asante
44.It Cogent EM100FX and EM440TX
45.It DEC PCI DE435, EISA DE425, DE450, DE500
46.It older LinkSys 10, 10/100
47.It SMC 8432, 9332, 9334
48.It ZNYX ZX3xx
49.El
50.Pp
51This driver may support other cards based on the 21040 and 21041 Ethernet
52controllers, or the 21140[A], 21141, 21142, and 21143 Fast Ethernet
53controllers.
54.Pp
55The following media types and options (as given to
56.Xr ifconfig 8 )
57are supported:
58.Pp
59.Bl -tag -width xxx -offset indent
60.It Cm media No autoselect
61Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
62.It Cm media No 10baseT
63Set 10Mbps operation on the 10baseT port.
64.It Cm media No 10base2
65Set 10Mbps operation on the BNC port.
66.It Cm media No 10base5
67Set 10Mbps operation on the AUI port.
68.It Cm media No 100baseTX
69Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation.
70.It Cm media No 100baseFX
71Set 100Mbps operation.
72.It Cm media No 100baseT4
73Set 100Mbps operation (4-pair cat-3 cable).
74.El
75.Pp
76The
77.Nm
78driver supports the following media options:
79.Pp
80.Bl -tag -width xxx -offset indent -compact
81.It full-duplex
82Set full duplex operation for UTP port.
83.El
84.Pp
85For more information on configuring this device, see
86.Xr ifconfig 8 .
87To view a list of media types and options supported by your card try
88.Ic ifconfig -m <device> .
89For example,
90.Ic ifconfig -m de0 .
91.Pp
92Note that the media types available depend on the particular card in use.
93Some cards are explicitly programmed to a particular media type by a
94setup utility and are not changeable.
95.Pp
96Use the
97.Xr ifconfig 8
98command an in particular the
99.Fl m
100flag to list the supported media types for your particular card.
101.Pp
102The old
103.Dq ifconfig linkN
104method of configuration is not supported.
105.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
106.Bl -diag
107.It "de%d: waking device from sleep/snooze mode"
108The 21041 and 21140A chips support suspending the operation of the card.
109.It "de%d: error: desired IRQ of %d does not match device's actual IRQ of %d"
110The device probe detected that the board is configured for a different
111interrupt than the one specified in the kernel configuration file.
112.It "de%d: not configured; limit of %d reached or exceeded"
113There is a limit of 32
114.Nm
115devices allowed in a single machine.
116.It "de%d: not configured; 21040 pass 2.0 required (%d.%d found)"
117.It "de%d: not configured; 21140 pass 1.1 required (%d.%d found)"
118Certain revisions of the chipset are not supported by this driver.
119.El
120.Sh CAVEATS
121Since the 21040 is available on both EISA and PCI boards, one must be careful
122in how defines the 21040 in the kernel config file.
