ETHSTATUS(1) General Commands Manual ETHSTATUS(1) NAME
ethstatus - Console-based ethernet statistics monitor SYNOPSIS
ethstatus [ -h ] [ -i interface ] [ -v videomode ] [ -S bps[k|m|g] ] [ -s speed ] (backward compatibility) DESCRIPTION
ethstatus is a console-based monitoring utility for displaying statistical data of the ethernet interface on a quantity basis. OPTIONS
The following options can be provided: -i Specify the ethernet interface which shall be monitored. Default is 'eth0'. -v Set the video mode used by curses. Possible choices are 'vga' (the default) and 'mono' (useful for black-and-white monitors). -S Set the maximum network speed in bits per second. ethstatus knows about the kilo (k), mega (m) and giga (g) modifiers. So you can specify the speed as e.g. 64k or 100m or 1g. -s Set the maximum network speed. Possible values are '10' (=10 Mbps), '100' (=100 Mbps), '64' (=64 kbps), '128' (=128 kbps), 256 (=256 kbps), '768' (=768 kbps) or '1540' (=1540 kbps). This option is provided for backward compatibility to prior versions of ethstatus. Please use the -S parameter instead. AUTHORS The original program was written by Gabriel Montenegro <johnpetrucci@users.sourceforge.net>. Bug fixes, code cleanup, different improvements and this manual page were provided by Christoph Haas <email@christoph-haas.de> for the Debian GNU/Linux system. May 1, 2003 ETHSTATUS(1)

3C574_CS(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual 3C574_CS(4) NAME
3c574_cs - 3Com 3c574 Etherlink XL 10/100 PC Card device driver SYNOPSIS
insmod 3c574_cs.o [pc_debug=n] [if_port=n] [irq_list=i,j,...] [full_duplex=n] [auto_polarity=n] [max_interrupt_work=n] DESCRIPTION
3c574_cs is the low-level Card Services driver for the 3Com 3c574 EtherLink XL PCMCIA ethernet adapter. When this driver is attached to a card, it allocates the next available ethernet device (eth0..eth#). This device name will be reported in the kernel log file, and passed on to cardmgr(8). The driver uses the N-Way autonegotiating transceiver to negotiate the speed and duplex of the network link. If the link partner does not support negotiation, only the link speed is detected. PARAMETERS
pc_debug=n Selects the PCMCIA debugging level. This parameter is only available if the module is compiled with debugging enabled. A non-zero value enables debugging. if_port=n Selects the transceiver type. Only 0, 1, and 4 are acceptable values, other values return an error. This actual value specificed is ignored -- the autonegotiating transceiver selects the media speed and duplex used. irq_list=i,j,... This option limits the set of interrupts that may be allocated by this driver. The default is all normally-usable IRQs. full_duplex=n This flag determines if only full-duplex modes are advertised. It defaults to 0 (false). This flag can be used to control the transceiver's auto polarity detection capability. Some Cisco Catalyst switches are known to interact badly with this feature in 10baseT mode. It defaults to 1 (enabled). max_interrupt_work=work-limit This option selects the maximum amount of work handled during each interrupt. Each received packet counts as one unit of work, as does updating statistics counters and handling errors. The default is 32. DIAGNOSTICS
eth#: interrupt(s) dropped! Indicates that the driver did not receive an interrupt notification for some reason. The driver will poll the card (with a signifi- cant performance penalty) if the problem persists. The most likely cause is an interrupt conflict and/or host bridge configuration problem. AUTHOR
