Use commas, not spaces, to separate the options. |
- connector=type
- Network cable connector type:
- 0
- BNC
- 1
- UTP
- 2
- AUI
- 3
- FIBER
The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.
- ioport=port
- The I/O port of the interface. The port
parameter must be a hex address (e.g. 0x320). The default is
automatically detected on supported hardware (but see caution below).
- irq=req
- The IRQ of the interface. The default is
automatically detected on supported hardware (but see caution below).
- lan=num
- The LAN number. The default is 0.
- mac=XXXXXXXXXXXX
- MAC address of controller. The default is
automatically detected on supported hardware.
- mtu=X
- Maximum transmission unit. The default is
automatically detected on supported hardware.
- nomulticast
- Disables the driver from sending or receiving multicast packets. By default, multicast is enabled.
- pcmcia
- Flag to indicate a PCMCIA device to the driver.
- promiscuous
- Enable promiscuous mode. The default is off.
- verbose
verbose=num
- Be verbose. Specify num for more verbosity (num can be 1-4, the higher
the number, the more detailed the output).
The output goes to slogger,
invoke sloginfo to view.
The devn-el509.so driver controls 3Com 509 ISA Ethernet
adapters.
|
This driver can't always detect the correct irq and ioport
options, especially for ISA devices. To be sure, always specify irq and
ioport when using this driver. |
You can use
ifconfig
to enable hardware checksums if supported.
Start io-pkt-v6-hc using the 509 ISA Ethernet adapter driver:
io-pkt-v6-hc -d el509 ioport=0x320,irq=11
- /dev/io-net
- The directory where, by default, drivers and protocol modules add
entries.
