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 mother- boards use these chips and are also supported. The fxp driver supports the following media types: autoselect Enable autoselection of the media type and options 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 re- duce the interrupt load on the host cpu. Not all boards have sup- port 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 occurred. 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 network, or there is a problem with the network connection (cable). fxp%d: Ethernet address ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff In some Alpha's (AXPpci and Mul- tia) you must tell the driver to use (slower) I/O rather than memory to ac- cess the card. Create, if it does not yet exist, and add to the file /boot/device.hints the line "hint.fxp.0.prefer_iomap="0"". fxp%d: Microcode loaded, int_delay: %d usec bundle_max: %d The chip has successfully downloaded the microcode, and changed the parameterized values to the given settings.
