Syntax:

io-net -d artesyn.so [option[,option ...]] ... &

Options:

---

Use commas (,) to separate the options (not spaces).

---

connector=0|1|2|3

Network cable connector type:

0

BNC

1

UTP

2

AUI

3

FIBER

duplex=0|1

Half (0) or full (1) duplex mode. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware. If you specify duplex, specify speed as well; if duplex alone is specified, it is ignored and both speed and duplex are auto-negotiated.

iftype=num

Interface type (from <net/if_types.h>). The default is IFT_ETHER.

iorange=0xXXXXXXXX

I/O base address.

irq=num

IRQ of the interface. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.

lan=num

LAN number. The default is 0.

mac=XXXXXXXXXXXX

MAC address of the controller. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.

media=num

Media type (from <hw/nicinfo.h>). The default is NIC_MEDIA_802_3.

memrange=0xXXXXXXXX

Register base physical memory address.

mru=num

Maximum receive unit. The default is 1514.

mtu=num

Maximum transmission unit. The default (1514) is automatically detected on supported hardware.

nomulticast

Disables the driver from sending or receiving multicast packets. By default, multicast is enabled.

priority=N

Priority of the driver event-thread. The default is 21.

promiscuous

Enable the driver to pass all data packets received, regardless of address. By default, promiscuous mode is disabled.

speed=10|100

Media data rate in Megabits/second.

uptype=name

Interface name. The default is "en".

verbose
verbose=N

Be verbose. Specify num for more verbosity (num can be 1-4, the higher the number, the more detailed the output). The default is 0. The output goes to slogger, invoke sloginfo to view.

Description:

The devn-artesyn.so driver controls Artesyn Ethernet adapters.

Examples:

Start io-net using the Artesyn driver and the full TCP/IP stack:

io-net -d artesyn -p tcpip &
ifconfig en0 10.184

Files:

/dev/io-net

The directory where, by default, drivers and protocol modules add entries. For more information, the documentation for io-net.
