31.Sh NAME
32.Nm de
33.Nd "DEC DC21x4x Ethernet device driver"
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35To compile this driver into the kernel,
36place the following line in your
37kernel configuration file:
38.Bd -ragged -offset indent
39.Cd "device de"
40.Ed
41.\".Pp
42.\"Alternatively, to load the driver as a
43.\"module at boot time, place the following line in
44.\".Xr loader.conf 5 :
45.\".Bd -literal -offset indent
46.\"if_de_load="YES"
47.\".Ed
48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49The
50.Nm
51driver provides support for the Ethernet adapters based on the Digital
52Equipment DC21x4x based self-contained Ethernet and Fast Ethernet
53chips.
54.Pp
55The
56.Nm
57driver supports the following media types:
58.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
59.It autoselect
60Enable autoselection of the media type and options
61.It 10baseT/UTP
62Set 10Mbps operation on the 10baseT port
63.It 10base2/BNC
64Set 10Mbps operation on the BNC port
65.It 10base5/AUI
66Set 10Mbps operation on the AUI port
67.It 100baseTX
68Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation
69.It 100baseFX
70Set 100Mbps operation
71.It 100baseT4
72Set 100Mbps operation (4-pair cat-3 cable)
73.El
74.Pp
75The
76.Nm
77driver supports the following media options:
78.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
79.It full-duplex
80Set full duplex operation
81.El
82.Pp
83Note that the media types available depend on the particular card in use.
84Some cards are explicitly programmed to a particular media type by a
85setup utility and are not changeable.
86.Pp
87Use the
88.Xr ifconfig 8
89command and in particular the
90.Fl m
91flag to list the supported media types for your particular card.
92.Pp
93The old
94.Dq ifconfig linkN
95method of configuration is not supported.

124.Bl -diag
125.It "de%d: waking device from sleep/snooze mode"
126The 21041 and 21140A chips support suspending the operation of the card.
127.It "de%d: error: desired IRQ of %d does not match device's actual IRQ of %d"
128The device probe detected that the board is configured for a different
129interrupt than the one specified in the kernel configuration file.
130.It "de%d: not configured; limit of %d reached or exceeded"
131There is a limit of 32
132.Nm
133devices allowed in a single machine.
134.It "de%d: not configured; 21040 pass 2.0 required (%d.%d found)"
135.It "de%d: not configured; 21140 pass 1.1 required (%d.%d found)"
136Certain revisions of the chipset are not supported by this driver.
