amd8111s(7D) Devices amd8111s(7D)NAMEamd8111s - AMD-8111 Fast Ethernet Network Adapter driverSYNOPSIS/dev/amd8111sDESCRIPTIONThe 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 INTERFACEThe 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.CONFIGURATIONBy 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.FILES/dev/amd8111s* Special character device. /kernel/drv/amd8111s* 32-bit ELF kernel module (x86). /kernel/drv/amd64/amd8111s* 64-bit ELF Kernel module (x86).ATTRIBUTESSee attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------------------------------------+ |ATTRIBUTE TYPE ATTRIBUTE VALUE | |Availability SUNW8111s | |Architecture x86 | |Interface Stability Committed | +-----------------------------------------------------------+SEE ALSOdladm(1M), attributes(5), streamio(7I), dlpi(7P) Writing Device Drivers STREAMS Programming Guide Network Interfaces Programmer's Guide SunOS 5.11 30 Jul 2007 amd8111s(7D)
