33 .Nd "SMC 83c17x Fast Ethernet device driver"
40 driver provides support for the Ethernet adapters based on the
41 SMC 83c17x (EPIC) chips.
42 These are mostly SMC 9432 series cards.
46 driver supports the following media types (depending on card's capabilities):
47 .Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
49 Enable autonegotiation (default)
51 Set 100Mbps (fast ethernet) fiber optic operation
53 Set 100Mbps (fast ethernet) twisted pair operation
55 Set 10Mbps on 10baseT port
57 Set 10Mbps on 10base2 port
62 driver supports the following media options:
63 .Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
65 Set full-duplex operation
68 Driver supports oversized ethernet packets (up to 1600 bytes).
71 man page on setting the interface's MTU.
74 .Dq ifconfig tx0 linkN
75 method of configuration is not supported.
76 .Ss "VLAN (IEEE 802.1Q) support"
79 driver supports the VLAN operation (using the
81 interface) without decreasing the MTU on the
86 .It "tx%d: device timeout %d packets"
87 The device stops responding.
88 Device and driver reset follows this error.
89 .It "tx%d: PCI fatal error occurred (%s)"
90 One of following errors occurred: PCI Target Abort, PCI Master Abort, Data
91 Parity Error or Address Parity Error.
92 Device and driver reset follows this error.
93 .It "tx%d: cannot allocate mbuf header/cluster"
94 Cannot allocate memory for received packet.
96 .It "tx%d: can't stop %s DMA"
97 While reseting, driver failed to stop device correctly.
107 The multicast packets filtering is not supported.
