NAME

yge - Marvell Yukon 2 Ethernet device driver

SYNOPSIS

/dev/net/yge

DESCRIPTION

The yge driver supports Marvell Yukon 2 Fast Ethernet and Gigabit
Ethernet controllers.

Properties

The following properties can be configured using dladm(8):

adv_autoneg_cap
Enables (default) or disables IEEE 802.3 auto-
negotiation of link speed and duplex settings. If
enabled, the device negotiates among the supported
(and configured, see below) link options with the
link partner. If disabled, at least one of the
link options below must be specified. The driver
selects the first enabled link option according to
the IEEE 802.3 specified preferences.


adv_1000fdx_cap
Enables the 1000 Mbps full-duplex link option.


adv_1000hdx_cap
Enables the 1000 Mbps half-duplex link option.


adv_100T4_cap
Enables the 100 BaseT4 link option. (Note that
most hardware does not support this unusual link
style. Also, this uses two pairs of wires for
data, rather than one.)


adv_100fdx_cap
Enables the 1000 Mbps full-duplex link option.


adv_100hdx_cap
Enables the 1000 Mbps half-duplex link option.


adv_10fdx_cap
Enables the 10 Base-T full-duplex link option.


adv_10hdx_cap
Enables the 10 Base-T half-duplex link option.


mtu
On most devices, can be set between 1500 (default)
and 9000. This property can only be changed when
the device is not in use.
