`devn-eepro.so`

Driver for Intel Ether Express Pro ISA 82595 Ethernet adapters

Syntax:

io-net -d eepro [option[,option ...]] ...

Options:

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

duplex=0|1: Half (0) or full (1) duplex mode.
iftype=num: Interface type (from <net/if_types.h>). The default is IFT_ETHER.
iorange=0xXXXXXXXX: The I/O base address.
irq=num: The IRQ of the interface. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware (but see caution below).
lan=num: LAN number. The default is 0.
mac=XXXXXXXXXXXX: MAC address of 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.
mtu=num: Maximum transmission unit. The default is 1514.
nomulticast: Disable multicast support.
priority=N: Priority of the driver event-thread. The default is 21.
promiscuous: Enable promiscuous mode. The default is off.
uptype=name: Interface name. The default is "en".
verbose verbose=N: Be verbose. Specify N for more verbosity (N 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-eepro.so driver controls Intel Ether Express Pro ISA Ethernet adapters.

This driver cannot always detect the correct irq and ioport options, especially for ISA devices. To be sure, always specify irq and ioport when using this driver.

Examples:

Start io-net using the Ether Express Pro driver and the full TCP/IP stack:

io-net -d eepro -ptcpip
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.
