Texas Instruments ThunderLAN ethernet device driver
|
||||
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
||||
.Cd "device tl0"
|
||||
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
driver provides support for PCI ethernet adapters based on the Texas
|
||||
Instruments ThunderLAN ethernet controller chip. This includes a large
|
||||
number of Compaq PCI-bus ethernet adapters as well as the integrated
|
||||
ethernet controllers built in to several models of Compaq Prosignia
|
||||
servers and Compaq Deskpro desktop machines.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The ThunderLAN controller has a standard MII interface that supports
|
||||
up to 32 physical interface devices (PHYs). It also has a built-in
|
||||
10baseT PHY hardwired at MII address 31, which may be used in some
|
||||
10Mbps-only hardware configurations. In 100Mbps configurations, a
|
||||
National Semiconductor DP83840A or other MII-compliant PHY may be
|
||||
attached to the ThunderLAN's MII bus. If a DP83840A or equivalent
|
||||
is available, the ThunderLAN chip can operate at either 100Mbps or
|
||||
10Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex modes. The ThunderLAN's
|
||||
built-in PHY and the DP83840A also support autonegotiation.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
driver supports the following media types:
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
|
||||
.It autoselect
|
||||
Enable autoselection of the media type and options. Note that this
|
||||
option is only available on those PHYs that support autonegotiation.
|
||||
Also, the PHY will not advertise those modes that have been explcitly
|
||||
disabled using the following media options.
|
||||
.It 10baseT/UTP
|
||||
Set 10Mbps operation
|
||||
.It 100baseTX
|
||||
Set 100Mbps (fast ethernet) operation
|
||||
.It 10base5/AUI
|
||||
Enable AUI/BNC interface (useful only with the built-in PHY).
|
||||
.El
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
driver supports the following media options:
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
|
||||
.It full-duplex
|
||||
Force full duplex operation
|
||||
.It half-duplex
|
||||
Force half duplex operation.
|
||||
.It hw-loopback
|
||||
Enable hardware loopback mode.
|
||||
.El
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Note that the 100baseTX media type is only available if supported
|
||||
by the PHY.
