ee - Intel (82558/28559) PCI 10/100 Ethernet SYNOPSIS
config_driver ee DESCRIPTION
The ee interface supports the Intel 82558 and 82559-based Compaq adapters (including the DE60x line of adapters). These PCI bus adapters support standard 10/100 Ethernet operation, and provide equivalent service compared to the DE500-BA adapters (IEEE 802.3u Autonegotiation, full/half duplex, 10/100 Mbps). In addition to the standard features, the Compaq adapters support a hardware feature called parallel detection. This feature detects speed (10/100) and mode (full/half duplex) automatically when connecting to a repeater/switch that does NOT perform IEEE 802.3u Autonegotiation. By default, the driver uses Autonegotiation mode. This mode either connects to the remote partner with IEEE 802.3u Autonegotiation or resolves the speed and mode using parallel detection. The adapters are designed to automatically connect to all network configurations without manual intervention. However, if manual intervention is required, lan_config operations are supported (see lan_config(8) for more information). If you want to preserve your lan_config command information across system restarts, edit the /etc/inet.local file and include the appropriate commands. This information also remains the same through system version updates. This driver does NOT require new console firmware to operate in a runtime only manner. Tru64 UNIX does not use console variables to define media, mode, or speed. Booting over a network requires SRM firmware Version 5.5 or later (on most platforms). ERRORS
The following diagnostic error messages contain relevant information provided by the ee interface, and are printed on the console. Each message begins with the adapter identification, including the unit number of the adapter. The ee driver found a system that has not defined cachelinesize in the PCI configuration header. This is an informational message only, and the driver correctly defines the cache- linesize parameter. Not enough free memory exists to run the driver. The EEPROM on the board did not pass the checksum test. The board indicated in this message is unusable. The device did not pass self test. The diagnostic test that failed follows immediately after this message. The board indicated in this message is unusable. RELATED INFORMATION

TL(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual TL(4) NAME
tl -- Texas Instruments ThunderLAN Ethernet device driver SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: device miibus device tl Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): if_tl_load="YES" DESCRIPTION
The tl driver provides support for PCI Ethernet adapters based on the Texas Instruments ThunderLAN Ethernet controller chip. The ThunderLAN controller has a standard MII interface that supports up to 32 physical interface devices (PHYs). It also has a built-in 10baseT PHY hardwired at MII address 31, which may be used in some 10Mbps-only hardware configurations. In 100Mbps configurations, a National Semiconductor DP83840A or other MII-compliant PHY may be attached to the ThunderLAN's MII bus. If a DP83840A or equivalent is available, the ThunderLAN chip can operate at either 100Mbps or 10Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex modes. The ThunderLAN's built-in PHY and the DP83840A also support autonegotiation. The tl driver supports the following media types: autoselect Enable autoselection of the media type and options. Note that this option is only available on those PHYs that support autonegotiation. Also, the PHY will not advertise those modes that have been explicitly disabled using the following media options. 10baseT/UTP Set 10Mbps operation 100baseTX Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation 10base5/AUI Enable AUI/BNC interface (useful only with the built-in PHY). The tl driver supports the following media options: full-duplex Force full duplex operation half-duplex Force half duplex operation. hw-loopback Enable hardware loopback mode. Note that the 100baseTX media type is only available if supported by the PHY. For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8). HARDWARE
The tl driver supports Texas Instruments ThunderLAN based Ethernet and Fast Ethernet adapters including a large number of Compaq PCI Ethernet adapters.
