`devn-tigon3.so`

Driver for TIGON3 (BCM570X) Ethernet controller

Syntax:

io-net -d tigon3 [option[,option ...]] ...&

Options:

Use commas (,) to separate the options (not spaces).

connector=type

Network cable connector type:

0: BNC
1: UTP
3: FIBER

The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.

did=devid

Device ID. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.

duplex=dup

Half (0) or full (1) duplex mode. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware. If you specify duplex, specify speed as well; if duplex alone is specified, it is ignored and both speed and duplex are auto-negotiated.

mac=XXXXXXXXXXXX

MAC address of the controller. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.

nomulticast

Disables the driver from sending or receiving multicast packets. By default, multicast is enabled.

pci=0xXXXX

PCI index of the controller. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.

priority

The priority of the driver thread. The default is 21.

promiscuous=0|1

If set to 1, enable the driver to pass all data packets received, regardless of address. The default is 0.

single

In a multiple NIC environment, stop after the first detected card. Default is to enable all cards found.

speed=10|100

Media data rate (10Mbit or 100Mbit operation). The default is automatically detected on supported hardware. If you specify speed, specify duplex as well; if speed alone is specified, the specified speed will be correctly set, but duplex will default to half (0).

verbose verbose=num

Be verbose. Specify num for more verbosity (num can be 1-4, the higher the number, the more detailed the output). The output goes to slogger, invoke sloginfo to view.

vid=0xXXXX

Vendor ID of the controller. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.

Description:

The devn-tigon3.so driver is the Ethernet controller for the Broadcom BCM570X.

Examples:

Start io-net using the TIGON3 driver and the full TCP/IP stack:

io-net -d tigon3 verbose -p tcpip
ifconfig en0 10.184
