NAME

     en -- Midway-based ATM interfaces device driver

SYNOPSIS

     en* at pci? dev ? function ?
     en* at sbus? slot ? offset ?

DESCRIPTION

     The en device driver supports Midway-based ATM interfaces including the Efficient Networks, Inc. ENI-155 and Adaptec 5900 and 5905.

OPTIONS

     The Efficient Networks, Inc. and Adaptec interfaces use significantly different DMA engines.  In order to reduce the size of the en driver
     object, exactly one of the following options may be placed in the kernel configuration file:

     MIDWAY_ADPONLY  Include support for Adaptec interfaces only.

     MIDWAY_ENIONLY  Include support for Efficient Networks, Inc. interfaces only.

HARDWARE

     Cards supported by the en driver include:

     Efficient Networks, Inc. ENI-155
     Adaptec 5900 and 5905

SEE ALSO

     intro(4), pci(4), sbus(4), ifconfig(8)

BUGS

     The Sbus attachment of the en driver only currently functions on sun4c class systems.

NAME

     en -- device driver for Midway-based ATM interfaces

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

	   device en
	   device atm
	   device utopia

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   if_en_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The en device driver supports Midway-based ATM interfaces including the Efficient Networks, Inc. ENI-155 and Adaptec ANA-59x0.  Midway is an
     AAL5 SAR (Segmentation and Reassembly) chip.

     For configuring the card for IP see natmip(4).

     The following sysctls are recognized by the driver additionally to those handled by utopia(4):

     hw.atm.enX.istats
	     Contains an array of uint32_t with internal driver statistics.

     hw.atm.enX.debug
	     This is a bit map of debugging options.  This variable is only available when the driver is compiled with debugging support.

     The driver supports the media options sdh, noscramb and unassigned (see utopia(4)).

DIAGNOSTICS

     en0 <Efficient Networks ENI-155p> rev 0 int a irq 5 on pci0:16
     en0: ATM midway v0, board IDs 6.0, Utopia (pipelined), 512KB on-board RAM
     en0: maximum DMA burst length = 64 bytes
     en0: 7 32KB receive buffers, 8 32KB transmit buffers allocated

SEE ALSO

     natm(4), natmip(4), utopia(4), ifconfig(8), route(8)

AUTHORS

     Chuck Cranor of Washington University implemented en driver in 1996 for NetBSD.

CAVEATS

     The driver extensively uses DMA on PCI.  The first generation PCI chipsets do not work or exhibit poor performance.
