io-net -d ns83815 [option[,option ...]] ...
 |
Use commas (,) to separate the options (not spaces). |
- did=0xXXXX
- PCI device ID. The default is
automatically detected on supported hardware.
- 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.
- mac=XXXXXXXXXXXX
- MAC address of controller. The default is
automatically detected on supported hardware.
- nomulticast
- Disables the driver from sending or receiving multicast
packets. By default, multicast is enabled.
- pci=0xXXXX
- PCI index of the controller. The default is
automatically detected on supported hardware.
- promiscuous
- Enable promiscuous mode. The default is off.
- receive=num
- Set the number of receive descriptors. The default is 64.
- speed=10|100
- Media data rate (10Mbit or 100Mbit operation). The default is
automatically detected on supported hardware.
If you specify speed, specify duplex as well;
if speed alone is specified, the specified speed will be correctly set,
but duplex will default to half (0).
- transmit=num
- Set the number of transmit descriptors. The default is 128.
- verbose
verbose=num
- Be verbose. Specify num for more verbosity (num can be 1-4, the higher
the number, the more detailed the output).
The output goes to slogger,
invoke sloginfo to view.
- vid=0xXXXX
- The PCI Vendor ID of the controller. The default is
automatically detected on supported hardware.
The devn-ns83815.so driver controls National Semiconductor's
MacPHYTER NS83815 Ethernet adapters.
Start io-net using the NS83815 driver and the full TCP/IP
stack:
io-net -d ns83815 -p tcpip
ifconfig en0 10.184
- /dev/io-net
- The directory where, by default, drivers and protocol modules add
entries.
