37.Sh NAME
38.Nm pcn
39.Nd "AMD PCnet/PCI Fast Ethernet device driver"
40.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
| 41To compile support for the
42.Nm
43driver into your kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
44.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
41.Cd "device miibus"
42.Cd "device pcn"
| 45.Cd "device miibus"
46.Cd "device pcn"
|
| 47.Ed
48.Pp
49Alternatively, to load the
50.Nm
51driver at boot time, place the following line in
52.Xr loader.conf 5 :
53.Bd -literal -offset indent
54if_pcn_load="YES"

43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44The
45.Nm
46driver provides support for PCI Ethernet adapters and embedded
47controllers based on the AMD PCnet/FAST, PCnet/FAST+, PCnet/FAST III,
48PCnet/PRO and PCnet/Home Ethernet controller chips.
49Supported NIC's include the Allied Telesyn AT-2700 familly.
50.Pp
51The PCnet/PCI chips include a 100Mbps Ethernet MAC and support
52both a serial and MII-compliant transceiver interface.
53They use a bus master DMA and a scatter/gather descriptor scheme.
54The AMD chips provide a mechanism for zero-copy receive,
55providing good performance in server environments.
56Receive address filtering is provided using a single perfect filter entry
57for the station address and a 64-bit multicast hash table.
58.Pp
59The
60.Nm
61driver supports the following media types:
62.Pp
63.Bl -tag -width 10baseTXUTP
64.It autoselect
65Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
66The user can manually override
67the autoselected mode by adding media options to
68.Xr rc.conf 5 .
69.It 10baseT/UTP
70Set 10Mbps operation.
71The
72.Xr ifconfig 8

75.Sq full-duplex
76or
77.Sq half-duplex

137A fatal initialization error has occurred.
138.It "pcn%d: watchdog timeout"
139The device has stopped responding to the network, or there is a problem with
140the network connection (e.g.\& a cable fault).
141.It "pcn%d: no memory for rx list"
142The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the receiver ring.
143.It "pcn%d: no memory for tx list"
144The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the transmitter ring when
145allocating a pad buffer or collapsing an mbuf chain into a cluster.
146.It "pcn%d: chip is in D3 power state -- setting to D0"
147This message applies only to adapters which support power
148management.
149Some operating systems place the controller in low power
150mode when shutting down, and some PCI BIOSes fail to bring the chip
151out of this state before configuring it.
152The controller loses all of
153its PCI configuration in the D3 state, so if the BIOS does not set
154it back to full power mode in time, it will not be able to configure it
155correctly.
156The driver tries to detect this condition and bring
157the adapter back to the D0 (full power) state, but this may not be
158enough to return the driver to a fully operational condition.
159If
160you see this message at boot time and the driver fails to attach
161the device as a network interface, you will have to perform a
162warm boot to have the device properly configured.
163.Pp
164Note that this condition only occurs when warm booting from another
165operating system.
166If you power down your system prior to booting
167.Fx ,
168the card should be configured correctly.
