| 984263bc MD |
14 | .Sh SYNOPSIS |
| 15 | .Cd "device ie0 at isa? port 0x360 irq 7 iomem 0xd0000" | |
| 16 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | |
| 17 | The | |
| 18 | .Nm | |
| 19 | driver provides support for 8 and 16bit ISA ethernet cards that are based on | |
| 20 | the Intel i82586 chip. | |
| 21 | It supports the AT&T Starlan 10 and Starlan Fiber, | |
| 22 | the EN100, the Intel EtherExpress 16, the 3COM 3C507 and the RACAL Interlan | |
| 23 | NI5210. | |
| 24 | .Sh DIAGNOSTICS | |
| 25 | .Bl -diag | |
| 26 | .It "ie%d: unknown board type code %d" | |
| 27 | An i82586 chip was found, but the driver was unable to determine the actual | |
| 28 | board type during the probe. | |
| 29 | .It "ie%d: kernel configured maddr %x doesn't match board configured maddr %x" | |
| 30 | The device probe detected a different maddr than the one specified in the | |
| 31 | kernel configuration file. | |
| 32 | .It "ie%d: can't find shared memory" | |
| 33 | The device probe could not access the shared memory to determine its size. | |
| 34 | .It "ie%d: kernel configured msize %d doesn't match board configured msize %d" | |
| 35 | The device probe found a different size for the shared memory than the one | |
| 36 | specified in the kernel configuration file. | |
| 37 | .It "ie%d: kernel configured irq %d doesn't match board configured irq %d" | |
| 38 | The device probe detected that the board is configured for a different | |
| 39 | interrupt than the one specified in the kernel configuration file. | |
| 40 | .It "ie%d: reset" | |
| 41 | The Intel i82586 had to be reset by the driver. | |
| 42 | .It "ie%d: transceiver problem" | |
| 43 | The driver has detected a problem with the ethernet transceiver. | |
| 44 | This is | |
| 45 | usually due to a loose or broken transceiver cable when using an external | |
| 46 | transceiver. | |
| 47 | When you experience this problem with an on-card transceiver | |
| 48 | your card may be incorrectly jumpered for to use an external transceiver. | |
| 49 | Worst case your on-board transceiver may be broken. | |
| 50 | .It "ie%d: TDR detected an open %d clocks away" | |
| 51 | The driver detected an open circuit in the ethernet cable. | |
| 52 | Check your | |
| 53 | coax cable and terminator resistors. | |
| 54 | .It "ie%d: TDR detected a short %d clocks away" | |
| 55 | The driver detected a short circuit in the ethernet cable. | |
| 56 | Check your | |
| 57 | coax cable and terminator resistors. | |
| 58 | .It "ie%d: TDR returned unknown status %x" | |
| 59 | The driver got an unknown status from the card during the ethernet cable | |
| 60 | test. | |
| 61 | .It "ie%d: multicast address setup command failed" | |
| 62 | The card could not be put into multicast mode. | |
| 63 | .It "ie%d: configure command failed" | |
| 64 | The card refused to respond correctly during configuration. | |
| 65 | .It "ie%d: individual address setup command failed" | |
| 66 | The programming of the Ethernet (MAC) address failed. | |
| 67 | .El | |
| 68 | .Sh CAVEATS | |
| 69 | The Racal Interlan NI5210 comes in variants with 8 and 16 kbytes of | |
| 70 | shared memory. | |
| 71 | It is strongly advisable to use the 16 kbyte variant. | |
| 72 | You can upgrade your 8 kbyte card to 16 kbyte by adding an additional | |
| 73 | RAM chip. | |
