NAME
dge -- Intel i82597EX Ten Gigabit Ethernet driver SYNOPSIS
dge* at pci? dev ? function ? DESCRIPTION
The dge device driver supports the Intel i82597EX PRO/10GbE LR Ethernet adapter, which uses a single mode fiber (1310nm) interface. The i82597EX supports IPv4/TCP/UDP checksumming in hardware, as well as TCP Segmentation Offloading (TSO). The driver does currently only support the hardware checksumming features. See ifconfig(8) for information on how to enable the hardware checksum calculations. The driver also makes use of the ifconfig(8) link flags link0 and link1 to set the PCIX burst size. The burst size is set according to this table: link0 link1 burst size off off 512 on off 1024 off on 2048 on on 4096 A larger burst size will increase the transmit capacity of the card dramatically but may have negative effect on other devices in the system. DIAGNOSTICS
dge%d: Tx packet consumes too many DMA segments, dropping... The packet consisted of too many small mbufs and could therefore not be loaded into a DMA map. This is most unlikely, the driver can currently handle up to 100 segments, but over 80 segments has been seen using large (16k) jumbo frames. dge%s: device timeout (txfree %d txsfree %d txnext %d) The i82597EX had been given packets to send, but didn't interrupt within 5 seconds. This diagnostic is most likely the result of a hardware failure, and the chip will be reset to resume normal operation. dge%d: Receive overrun If the computer is under heavy load, the software may not be able to keep up removing received datagrams from the receive queue, and will therefore loose datagrams. To avoid this, check that the other end is using the XON/XOFF protocol, if possible, or increase the receive descriptor ring size in the driver. dge%d: symbol error dge%d: parity error An error in the XGMII communication was detected. This is a hardware error in the MAC<->PHY communication bus. dge%d: CRC error A CRC error in the received datagram was detected. The error is probably caused in the fiber communication. dge%d: WARNING: reset failed to complete This is a fatal error and means that the hardware is broken and will most likely not function cor- rectly. dge%d: unable to allocate or map rx buffer %d error = %d The driver was not able to map a mbuf cluster page to a receive descriptor entry in the receive ring. Most likely the system has run out of mbuf clusters or have a too small cluster map. See the errno for more information. SEE ALSO

The dge driver first appeared in NetBSD 2.0. AUTHORS
The dge driver was written by Anders Magnusson <ragge@ludd.luth.se>. BUGS
There should be an XGMII framework for the driver to use. BSD

NAME
iee -- Intel i82596 10MBit/s Ethernet interface SYNOPSIS
ews4800mips iee* at sbdio? hp700 iee* at gsc? DESCRIPTION
The iee device provides access to the Intel i82596 10MBit/s Ethernet interface. iee supports IEEE 802.1Q Virtual LANs. iee operates the i82596 in 32-Bit Linear Mode, opposed to ie(4) that drives the i82596 only in i82586 compatibility mode. HARDWARE
ews4800mips The iee interface supports Intel i82596CA based on-board Ethernet on EWS4800/350. hp700 The iee interface supports Intel i82596DX on ASP/ASP2 based machines and the i82596CA macrocell in LASI based machines. GSC expansion cards may work, but are not tested. Media selection on hp700 is done either manually via hardware jumper or automatically depending on machine model. DIAGNOSTICS
iee%d: iee_intr: receive error %d, rfd_status=0x%.4x, rfd_count=0x%.4x. An error during frame reception occurred. The frame was dropped. iee%d: iee_intr: can't allocate mbuf. iee%d: iee_intr: can't alloc mbuf cluster. A frame was received, but dropped due to lack of memory. iee%d: iee_intr: receive ring buffer overrun Many frames where received under high load and the receive ring buffer was to small to store them all. Frame reception was restarted from scratch. Most likely there where frames lost. iee%d: iee_intr: scb_status=0x%x scb_cmd=0x%x faild command %d: cb_status[%d]=0x%.4x cb_cmd[%d]=0x%.4x A transmit or setup command was not executed successfully. iee%d: iee_intr: crc_err=%d Number of frames with a CRC error received. iee%d: iee_intr: align_err=%d Number of unaligned frames received. iee%d: iee_intr: resource_err=%d Number of good frames dropped because the receive ring buffer was full. iee%d: iee_intr: overrun_err=%d Number of frames lost because the system bus was not available for DMA. iee%d: iee_intr: rcvcdt_err=%d Number of collisions detected during frame reception. iee%d: iee_intr: short_fr_err=%d Number of frames received that where shorter then the minimum frame length. iee%d: iee_start: failed to load DMA map A mbuf(9) chain with too many elements could not be setup for transmission. The mbuf(9) chain will be merged into a single mbuf(9) cluster and retransmitted. iee%d: iee_start: can't allocate mbuf. iee%d: iee_start: can't load TX DMA map. Said error occurred during merging the mbuf(9) chain into a mbuf(9) cluster. The frame was dropped. iee%d: iee_init: can't create TX DMA map iee%d: iee_init: can't allocate mbuf iee%d: iee_init: can't allocate mbuf cluster iee%d: iee_init: can't create RX DMA map iee%d: iee_init: can't load RX DMA map There was no memory free to allocate resources when the operator tried to bring the interface up. The interface will not come up. Try again later. iee%d: iee_watchdog: transmit timeout %d iee%d: iee_watchdog: setup timeout %d The hardware didn't respond to a transmit or setup command within five seconds. The interface will be reset and restarted. iee%d: iee_gsc_cmd: timeout n=%d Timeout at sending a channel attention command to the chip. iee%d: iee_gsc_reset timeout bussy=0x%x Timeout at resetting the chip. Possible errors during autoconf(4). iee%d: iee_gsc_attach: can't map I/O space The driver failed to map the I/O ports of the chip. The device will not be attached. iee%d: iee_gsc_attach: can't allocate %d bytes of DMA memory iee%d: iee_gsc_attach: can't map DMA memory iee%d: iee_gsc_attach: can't create DMA map iee%d: iee_gsc_attach: can't load DMA map The driver failed to get the shared DMA memory for the chip. The device will not be attached. SEE ALSO
