34 .Nd Intel EtherExpress Pro/100B ethernet device driver
41 driver provides support for the EtherExpress Pro/10, InBusiness
42 10/100, Pro/100 B, Pro/100+, Pro/100 VE, Pro/100 M, and Pro/100 S
43 PCI Fast Ethernet adapters based on the Intel i82557, i82558, i82559,
44 i82550, or i82562 Ethernet chips.
45 Many on-board network interfaces on Intel motherboards use these chips
46 and are also supported.
50 driver supports the following media types:
52 .Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
54 Enable autoselection of the media type and options
58 Set 100Mbps (fast ethernet) operation
63 driver supports the following media options:
65 .Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
67 Set full duplex operation
70 Note that 100baseTX media type is not available on the Pro/10.
71 For further information on configuring this device, see
76 driver also supports a special link option:
79 Some chip revisions have loadable microcode which can be used to reduce the
80 interrupt load on the host cpu.
81 Not all boards have support microcode support.
86 will download the microcode to the chip if it is available.
90 .It "fxp%d: couldn't map memory"
91 A fatal initialization error has occurred.
92 .It "fxp%d: couldn't map interrupt"
93 A fatal initialization error has occurred.
94 .It "fxp%d: Failed to malloc memory"
95 There are not enough mbuf's available for allocation.
96 .It "fxp%d: device timeout"
97 The device has stopped responding to the network, or there is a problem with
98 the network connection (cable).
99 .It "fxp%d: Microcode loaded, int_delay: %d usec bundle_max: %d"
100 The chip has successfully downloaded the microcode, and changed the
101 parameterized values to the given settings.
