39.Sh NAME
40.Nm de
41.Nd
42.Tn DEC DEUNA
4310 Mb/s Ethernet interface
44.Sh SYNOPSIS
45.Cd "de0 at uba0 csr 174510 vector deintr"
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47The
48.Nm de
49interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network through
50a Digital Equipment
51.Tn UNIBUS
52Network Adapter
53.Pq Tn DEUNA .
54.Pp
55Each of the host's network addresses
56is specified at boot time with an
57.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
58.Xr ioctl 2 .
59The
60.Nm de
61interface employs the address resolution protocol described in
62.Xr arp 4
63to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
64network.
65.Pp
66The interface normally tries to use a
67.Dq trailer
68encapsulation
69to minimize copying data on input and output.
70The use of trailers is negotiated with
71.Tn ARP .
72This negotiation may be disabled, on a per-interface basis,
73by setting the
74.Dv IFF_NOTRAILERS
75flag with an
76.Dv SIOCSIFFLAGS
77.Xr ioctl 2 .
78.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
79.Bl -diag
80.It de%d: hardware address %s.
81This is a normal autoconfiguration message noting the 6 byte physical
82Ethernet address of the adapter.
83.Pp
84.It de%d: oerror, flags=%b tdrerr=%b (len=%d).
85The hardware indicated an error
86in transmitting a packet to the cable.
87The status and error flags are reported.
88.Pp
89.It de%d: ierror, flags=%b lenerr=%b (len=%d).
90The hardware indicated an error
91in reading a packet from the cable.
92The status and error flags are reported.
93.Pp
94.It de%d: can't handle af%d.
95The interface was handed
96a message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address
97family; the packet was dropped.
98.Pp
99.It de%d: buffer unavailable.
100The interface received more packets
101than it had buffers allocated to receive them.
102.Pp
103.It de%d: address change failed, csr0=%b csr1=%b.
104The interface was unable to reprogram
105its physical Ethernet address.
106This may happen with very early models of the interface.
107This facility is used only when
108the controller is not the first network interface configured for
109.Tn XNS .
110.El
111.Pp
112The following messages indicate a probable hardware error performing
113the indicated operation during autoconfiguration or initialization.
114The two control and status registers
115should indicate the nature of the failure.
116See the hardware manual for details.
117.Pp
118.Bl -diag
119.It de%d: reset failed, csr0=%b csr1=%b.
120.It de%d: ppcb failed, csr0=%b csr1=%b.
121.It de%d: read addr failed, csr0=%b csr1=%b.
122.It de%d: wtring failed, csr0=%b csr1=%b.
123.It de%d: wtmode failed, csr0=%b csr1=%b.
