35.Sh NAME
36.Nm il
37.Nd Interlan NI1010 10 Mb/s Ethernet interface
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.Cd "il0 at uba0 csr 164000"
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41The
42.Nm il
43interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network through
44an Interlan 1010 or 1010A controller.
45.Pp
46Each of the host's network addresses
47is specified at boot time with an
48.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
49.Xr ioctl 2 .
50The
51.Nm il
52interface employs the address resolution protocol described in
53.Xr arp 4
54to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
55network.
56.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
57.Bl -diag
58.It il%d: input error.
59The hardware indicated an error
60in reading a packet off the cable or an illegally sized packet.
61.Pp
62.It il%d: can't handle af%d.
63The interface was handed
64a message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address
65family; the packet was dropped.
66.Pp
67.It il%d: setaddr didn't work.
68The interface was unable to reprogram
69its physical Ethernet address.
70This may happen with very early models of the interface.
71This facility is used only when
72the controller is not the first network interface configured for
73.Tn XNS .
74The oldest interface tested (2.7.1.0.1.45) has never failed in this way.
75.Pp
76.It il%d: reset failed, csr=%b.
77.It il%d: status failed, csr=%b.
78.It il%d: hardware diag failed, csr=%b.
79.It il%d: verifying setaddr, csr=%b.
80.It il%d: stray xmit interrupt, csr=%b.
81.It il%d: can't initialize.
82The above messages indicate a probable hardware error performing
83the indicated operation during autoconfiguration or initialization.
84The status field in the control and status register (the low-order four bits)
85should indicate the nature of the failure.
86See the hardware manual for details.
