NAME

       amd8111s - AMD-8111 Fast Ethernet Network Adapter driver

SYNOPSIS

       /dev/amd8111s

DESCRIPTION

       The  amd8111s  Fast Ethernet driver is a multi-threaded, loadable, clonable,  GLD-based	STREAMS  driver supporting  the Data Link Provider
       Interface, dlpi(7P), on the AMD-8111 Fast Ethernet Network Adapter.

       The amd8111s driver functions include controller initialization, frame  transmit and receive, promiscuous and multicast support, and  error
       recovery and reporting.

APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE

       The cloning, character-special device /dev/amd8111 is used to access all AMD-8111 Fast Ethernet devices installed within the system.

       The  amd8111s  driver  is managed by the dladm(1M) command  line utility, which allows VLANs to be defined on top of amd8111s instances and
       for amd8111s instances to be aggregated.  See dladm(1M) for more details.

CONFIGURATION

       By default, the amd8111s driver performs auto-negotiation to select the link speed and mode. Link speed and mode can be any of the  follow-
       ing:

       100 Mbps, full-duplex.

       100 Mbps, half-duplex.

       10 Mbps, full-duplex.

       10 Mbps, half-duplex.
