31.Sh NAME
32.Nm de
33.Nd DEC DC21x4x Ethernet device driver
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Cd "device de"
36.Sh DESCRIPTION
37The
38.Nm
39driver provides support for the Ethernet adapters based on the Digital
40Equipment DC21x4x based self-contained Ethernet chips.
41.Pp
42It supports the DEC PCI DE435 card, DEC DE450, DEC DE500,
43SMC 8432, 9332 and 9334, Cogent EM100FX and EM440TX, Asante,
44ZNYX ZX3xx, and others based on the 21040 and 21041 Ethernet controllers or
45the 21140[A], 21141, 21142 and 21143 Fast 100Mbps Ethernet controllers.
46A DEC DC21x4x adapter is also found in Microsoft Virtual PC and (as the
47legacy adapter) in Hyper-V.
48.Pp
49The
50.Nm
51driver supports the following media types:
52.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
53.It autoselect
54Enable autoselection of the media type and options
55.It 10baseT/UTP
56Set 10Mbps operation on the 10baseT port
57.It 10base2/BNC
58Set 10Mbps operation on the BNC port
59.It 10base5/AUI
60Set 10Mbps operation on the AUI port
61.It 100baseTX
62Set 100Mbps (fast ethernet) operation
63.It 100baseFX
64Set 100Mbps operation
65.It 100baseT4
66Set 100Mbps operation (4-pair cat-3 cable)
67.El
68.Pp
69The
70.Nm
71driver supports the following media options:
72.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
73.It full-duplex
74Set full duplex operation
75.El
76.Pp
77Note that the media types available depend on the particular card in use.
78Some cards are explicitly programmed to a particular media type by a
79setup utility and are not changeable.
80.Pp
81Use the
82.Xr ifconfig 8
83command an in particular the
84.Fl m
85flag to list the supported media types for your particular card.
86.Pp
87The old
88.Dq ifconfig linkN
89method of configuration is not supported.
90.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
91.Bl -diag
92.It "de%d: waking device from sleep/snooze mode"
93The 21041 and 21140A chips support suspending the operation of the card.
94.It "de%d: error: desired IRQ of %d does not match device's actual IRQ of %d"
95The device probe detected that the board is configured for a different
96interrupt than the one specified in the kernel configuration file.
97.It "de%d: not configured; limit of %d reached or exceeded"
98There is a limit of 32
99.Nm
100devices allowed in a single machine.
101.It "de%d: not configured; 21040 pass 2.0 required (%d.%d found)"
102.It "de%d: not configured; 21140 pass 1.1 required (%d.%d found)"
103Certain revisions of the chipset are not supported by this driver.
