This includes the Trendware TE100-PCIE and various other cheap -boards. The 840F should not be confused with the 940F, which is -an NE2000 clone and only supports 10Mbps speeds. -.Pp -The Winbond controller uses bus master DMA and is designed to be -a DEC 'tulip' workalike. It differs from the standard DEC design -in several ways: the control and status registers are spaced 4 -bytes apart instead of 8, and the receive filter is programmed through -registers rather than by downloading a special setup frame via -the transmit DMA engine. Using an external PHY, the Winbond chip -supports both 10 and 100Mbps speeds in either full or half duplex. -.Pp -The -.Nm -driver supports the following media types: -.Pp -.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -.It autoselect -Enable autoselection of the media type and options. This is only -supported if the PHY chip attached to the Winbond controller -supports NWAY autonegotiation. The user can manually override -the autoselected mode by adding media options to the -.Pa /etc/rc.conf -fine. -.It 10baseT/UTP -Set 10Mbps operation. The -.Ar mediaopt -option can also be used to select either -.Ar full-duplex -or -.Ar half-duplex modes. -.It 100baseTX -Set 100Mbps (fast ethernet) operation. The -.Ar mediaopt -option can also be used to select either -.Ar full-duplex -or -.Ar half-duplex -modes. -.El -.Pp -The -.Nm -driver supports the following media options: -.Pp -.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -.It full-duplex -Force full duplex operation -.It half-duplex -Force half duplex operation. -.El -.Pp -Note that the 100baseTX media type is only available if supported -by the adapter. -For more information on configuring this device, see -.Xr ifconfig 8 . -.Sh DIAGNOSTICS -.Bl -diag -.It "wb%d: couldn't map memory" -A fatal initialization error has occurred. -.It "wb%d: couldn't map interrupt" -A fatal initialization error has occurred. -.It "wb%d: watchdog timeout" -The device has stopped responding to the network, or there is a problem with -the network connection (cable). -.It "wb%d: no memory for rx list" -The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the receiver ring. -.It "wb%d: no memory for tx list" -The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the transmitter ring when -allocating a pad buffer or collapsing an mbuf chain into a cluster. -.It "wb%d: chip is in D3 power state -- setting to D0" -This message applies only to adapters which support power -management. Some operating systems place the controller in low power -mode when shutting down, and some PCI BIOSes fail to bring the chip -out of this state before configuring it. The controller loses all of -its PCI configuration in the D3 state, so if the BIOS does not set -it back to full power mode in time, it won't be able to configure it -correctly. The driver tries to detect this condition and bring -the adapter back to the D0 (full power) state, but this may not be -enough to return the driver to a fully operational condition. If -you see this message at boot time and the driver fails to attach -the device as a network interface, you will have to perform second -warm boot to have the device properly configured. -.Pp -Note that this condition only occurs when warm booting from another -operating system. If you power down your system prior to booting -.Fx , -the card should be configured correctly. -.El -.Sh SEE ALSO -.Xr arp 4 , -.Xr netintro 4 , -.Xr ifconfig 8 -.Sh HISTORY -The -.Nm -device driver first appeared in -.Fx 3.0 . -.Sh AUTHOR -The -.Nm -driver was written by -.An Bill Paul Aq wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu . -.Sh BUGS -The Winbond chip seems to behave strangely in some cases when the -link partner switches modes. If for example both sides are set to -10Mbps half-duplex, and the other end is changed to 100Mbps -full-duplex, the Winbond's receiver suddenly starts writing trash -all over the RX descriptors. The -.Nm -driver handles this by forcing a reset of both the controller -chip and attached PHY. This is drastic, but it appears to be the -only way to recover properly from this condition. |
