It supports the AT&T Starlan 10 and Starlan Fiber, +the EN100, the 3COM 3C507 and the RACAL Interlan NI5210. +.Pp +.Sh DIAGNOSTICS +.Bl -diag +.It "ie%d: unknown board type code %d" +An i82586 chip was found, but the driver was unable to determine the actual +board type during the probe. +.It "ie%d: kernel configured maddr %x doesn't match board configured maddr %x" +The device probe detected a different maddr than the one specified in the +kernel configuration file. +.It "ie%d: can't find shared memory" +The device probe could not access the shared memory to determine its size. +.It "ie%d: kernel configured msize %d doesn't match board configured msize %d" +The device probe found a different size for the shared memory than the one +specified in the kernel configuration file. +.It "ie%d: kernel configured irq %d doesn't match board configured irq %d" +The device probe detected that the board is configured for a different +interrupt than the one specified in the kernel configuration file. +.It "ie%d: reset" +The Intel i82586 had to be reset by the driver. +.It "ie%d: transceiver problem" +The driver has detected a problem with the ethernet transceiver. This is +usually due to a loose or broken transceiver cable when using an external +transceiver. When you experience this problem with an on-card transceiver +your card may be incorrectly jumpered for to use an external transceiver. +Worst case your on-board transceiver may be broken. +.It "ie%d: TDR detected an open %d clocks away" +The driver detected an open circuit in the ethernet cable. Check your +coax cable and terminator resistors. +.It "ie%d: TDR detected a short %d clocks away" +The driver detected a short circuit in the ethernet cable. Check your +coax cable and terminator resistors. +.It "ie%d: TDR returned unknown status %x" +The driver got an unknown status from the card during the ethernet cable +test. +.It "ie%d: multicast address setup command failed" +The card could not be put into multicast mode. +.It "ie%d: configure command failed" +The card refused to respond correctly during configuration. +.It "ie%d: individual address setup command failed" +The programming of the Ethernet (MAC) address failed. +.El +.Sh CAVEATS +The Racal Interlan NI5210 comes in variants with 8 and 16 kbytes of +shared memory. It is strongly advisable to use the 16 kbyte variant. +You can upgrade your 8 kbyte card to 16 kbyte by adding an additional +RAM chip. +.Pp +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr arp 4 , +.Xr ifconfig 8 , +.Xr netintro 4 +.Sh AUTHORS +The +.Nm +device driver was written by G.A.
