NAME

tlp - DECchip 21x4x and clone Ethernet interfaces device driver

SYNOPSIS

tlp* at eisa? slot ? tlp* at pci? dev ? function ? tlp* at cardbus? function ?

Configuration of PHYs may also be necessary. See mii(4).

DESCRIPTION

The tlp device driver supports Ethernet interfaces based on the DECchip 21x4x ``Tulip'' (DEC fourth generation Ethernet controller) and a variety of clone chips. The Tulip has several features designed to make it flexible and reduce CPU usage:

The tlp driver supports the following chips:

MEDIA SELECTION

Media selection done using ifconfig(8) using the standard ifmedia(4) mechanism. Refer to those manual pages for more information.

HISTORY

The tlp driver first appeared in NetBSD1.5.

AUTHORS

The tlp driver was written by Jason R. Thorpe while employed at the Numerical Aerospace Simulation Facility, NASA Ames Research Center. The author may be contacted at <thorpej@NetBSD.org>.

ASIX AX88140A and AX881401 support was added by Rui Paulo <rpaulo@NetBSD.org>.

Conexant RS7112 support was contributed by Frank Wille <frank@phoenix.owl.de>.

BUGS

Media autosense is not yet supported for any serial or PCS function media. It is, however, supported for IEEE 802.3u-compliant PHY media.
