It also has a built-in 5910baseT PHY hardwired at MII address 31, which may be used in some 6010Mbps-only hardware configurations. 61In 100Mbps configurations, a 62National Semiconductor DP83840A or other MII-compliant PHY may be 63attached to the ThunderLAN's MII bus. 64If a DP83840A or equivalent 65is available, the ThunderLAN chip can operate at either 100Mbps or 6610Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex modes. 67The ThunderLAN's 68built-in PHY and the DP83840A also support autonegotiation. 69.Pp 70The 71.Nm 72driver supports the following media types: 73.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 74.It autoselect 75Enable autoselection of the media type and options. 76Note that this 77option is only available on those PHYs that support autonegotiation. 78Also, the PHY will not advertise those modes that have been explicitly 79disabled using the following media options. 80.It 10baseT/UTP 81Set 10Mbps operation 82.It 100baseTX 83Set 100Mbps (fast ethernet) operation 84.It 10base5/AUI 85Enable AUI/BNC interface (useful only with the built-in PHY). 86.El 87.Pp 88The 89.Nm 90driver supports the following media options: 91.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 92.It full-duplex 93Force full duplex operation 94.It half-duplex 95Force half duplex operation. 96.It hw-loopback 97Enable hardware loopback mode. 98.El 99.Pp 100Note that the 100baseTX media type is only available if supported 101by the PHY. 102For more information on configuring this device, see 103.Xr ifconfig 8 . 104.Sh DIAGNOSTICS 105.Bl -diag 106.It "tl%d: couldn't map memory" 107A fatal initialization error has occurred. 108.It "tl%d: couldn't map interrupt" 109A fatal initialization error has occurred. 110.It "tl%d: device timeout" 111The device has stopped responding to the network, or there is a problem with 112the network connection (cable). 113.It "tl%d: no memory for rx list" 114The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the receiver ring. 115.It "tl%d: no memory for tx list" 116The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the transmitter ring when 117allocating a pad buffer or collapsing an mbuf chain into a cluster. 118.El 119.Sh SEE ALSO 120.Xr arp 4 , 121.Xr ifmedia 4 , 122.Xr miibus 4 , 123.Xr netintro 4 , 124.Xr ng_ether 4 , 125.Xr ifconfig 8 126.Sh HISTORY 127The 128.Nm 129device driver first appeared in 130.Fx 2.2 . 131.Sh AUTHORS 132The 133.Nm 134driver was written by 135.An Bill Paul Aq wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu . 136
