NAME
le
- HP AMD
7990
LANCE
Ethernet interface
SYNOPSIS
device le0 at scode?
DESCRIPTION
The
le
interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network via the
AMD
7990
LANCE
Ethernet chip set.
Each of the host's network addresses
is specified at boot time with an
SIOCSIFADDR
ioctl.
The
le
interface employs the address resolution protocol described in
arp(4)
to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
network.
The use of ``trailer'' encapsulation to minimize copying data on
input and output is supported by the interface but offers no advantage
due to the large
HP
page size.
The use of trailers is negotiated with
ARP
This negotiation may be disabled, on a per-interface basis,
by setting the
IFF_NOTRAILERS
flag with an
SIOCSIFFLAGS
ioctl.
DIAGNOSTICS
- le%d: hardware address %s.
-
This is a normal autoconfiguration message noting the 6 byte physical
ethernet address of the adapter.
- de%d: can't handle af%d.
-
The interface was handed
a message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address
family; the packet was dropped.
The following message indicate a possible hardware error performing
the indicated operation during autoconfiguration or initialization.
- le%d: init timeout, stat = 0x%x.
-
The hardware did not respond to an initialize command during reset.
The reset procedure continues anyway.
