TX(4)

NAME
tx - SMC9432TX Fast Ethernet device driver

SYNOPSIS
device tx0

DESCRIPTION
The tx driver provides support for the Ethernet adapters based on the SMC 83c170 (EPIC) chips.

The tx driver supports the following media types:

autoselect
    Enable autonegotiation (default)

100baseTX
    Set 100Mbps (fast ethernet) operation

10baseT/UTP
    Set 10Mbps on 10baseT port

The tx driver supports the following media options:

full-duplex
    Set full-duplex operation

The old ``ifconfig tx0 linkN'' method of configuration is not supported.

DIAGNOSTICS

tx%d: device timeout %d packets The device stops responding. Device and driver reset follows this error.

tx%d: PCI fatal error occured (%s) One of following errors occured: PCI Target Abort, PCI Master Abort, Data Parity Error or Address Parity Error. Device and driver reset follows this error.

tx%d: WARNING! no link established No media connected. Displayed at startup only.

tx%d: cannot allocate mbuf header/cluster Cannot allocate memory for received packet. Packet througth away.

tx%d: can't stop %s DMA While reseting, driver failed to stop device correctly.

BUGS

The multicast packets filtering is not supported. Only one PHY was really tested (Quality Semiconductor QS6612).
