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(4P), 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(8) command line utility,
which allows VLANs to be defined on top of amd8111s instances and for
amd8111s instances to be aggregated. See dladm(8) 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
following:


100 Mbps, full-duplex.


100 Mbps, half-duplex.


10 Mbps, full-duplex.


10 Mbps, half-duplex.
