FXP(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual FXP(4) NAME fxp -- Intel EtherExpress Pro/100B ethernet device driver SYNOPSIS device miibus device fxp DESCRIPTION The fxp driver provides support for the EtherExpress Pro/10, InBusiness 10/100, Pro/100 B, Pro/100+, Pro/100 VE, Pro/100 M, and Pro/100 S PCI Fast Ethernet adapters based on the Intel i82557, i82558, i82559, i82550, or i82562 Ethernet chips. Many on-board network interfaces on Intel motherboards use these chips and are also supported. The fxp driver supports the following media types: autoselect Enable autoselection of the media type and op- tions 10baseT/UTP Set 10Mbps operation 100baseTX Set 100Mbps (fast ethernet) operation The fxp driver supports the following media options: full-duplex Set full duplex operation Note that 100baseTX media type is not available on the Pro/10. For further information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8). The fxp driver also supports a special link option: link0 Some chip revisions have loadable microcode which can be used to reduce the interrupt load on the host cpu. Not all boards have support microcode support. Setting the link0 flag with ifconfig(8) will download the microcode to the chip if it is available. DIAGNOSTICS fxp%d: couldn't map memory A fatal initialization error has occurred. fxp%d: couldn't map interrupt A fatal initialization error has oc- curred. fxp%d: Failed to malloc memory There are not enough mbuf's available for allocation. fxp%d: device timeout The device has stopped responding to the net- work, or there is a problem with the network connection (cable). fxp%d: Microcode loaded, int_delay: %d usec bundle_max: %d The chip has successfully downloaded the microcode, and changed the parameter- ized values to the given settings.
