Syntax:

io-net -d ppc8260 [option[,option ...]] ...

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

channel=1|2|3: The FCC channel. The default is 1.
duplex=0|1: Half (0) or full (1) duplex mode. The default is MII autonegotiation.
mac=XXXXXXXXXXXX: MAC address of the controller.
nomulticast: Disables the driver from sending or receiving multicast packets. By default, multicast is enabled.
receive=num: Set the number of receive descriptors. The default is 64.
speed=10|100: Force media data rate (10Mbit or 100Mbit operation). The default is MII autonegotiation.
transmit=num: Set the number of transmit descriptors. The default is 64.
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.

The devn-ppc8260.so drives the PPC8260 Fast Ethernet controller.

Start io-net using the PPC8260 driver and the full TCP/IP stack:

io-net -d ppc8260 channel=2,mac=001100112233 -p tcpip
ifconfig en0 10.1.0.184

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