Interlan NI1010 10 Mb/s Ethernet interface
The il
interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet
network through an Interlan 1010 or 1010A controller.
Each of the host's network addresses is specified at boot time
with an SIOCSIFADDR
ioctl(2). The
il
interface employs the address resolution protocol
described in arp(4) to
dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
network.
- il%d: input error.
- The hardware indicated an error in reading a packet off the cable or an
illegally sized packet.
- il%d: can't handle af%d.
- The interface was handed a message with addresses formatted in an
unsuitable address family; the packet was dropped.
- il%d: setaddr didn't work.
- The interface was unable to reprogram its physical Ethernet address. This
may happen with very early models of the interface. This facility is used
only when the controller is not the first network interface configured for
XNS. The oldest interface tested (2.7.1.0.1.45) has never failed in this
way.
- il%d: reset failed, csr=%b.
- il%d: status failed, csr=%b.
- il%d: hardware diag failed, csr=%b.
- il%d: verifying setaddr, csr=%b.
- il%d: stray xmit interrupt, csr=%b.
- il%d: can't initialize.
- The above messages indicate a probable hardware error performing the
indicated operation during autoconfiguration or initialization. The status
field in the control and status register (the low-order four bits) should
indicate the nature of the failure. See the hardware manual for
details.
The il
interface appeared in
4.2BSD.
