Use commas (,) to separate the options (not spaces). |
- connector=type
- Network cable connector type:
- 0
- BNC
- 1
- UTP
- 2
- AUI
- 3
- FIBER
The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.
- chipset=number
- The number of the chipset to be configured. The driver stops after
configuring the first chipset it finds of the type number. Supported chipset numbers include:
- DEC/Intel
- 21040, 21041, 21140, 21143, 21145
- PNIC
- 168
- ADMtek
- 985
- Macronix
- 98715
- 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.
- mtu=X
- Maximum transmission unit. 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.
- promiscuous=0|1
- If set to 1, enable the driver to pass all data packets received,
regardless of address.
The default is 0.
- receive=X
- Number of receive descriptors/buffers. The default is 32.
- 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).
- transmit=X
- Number of transmit descriptors/buffers. The default is 20.
- 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.
The devn-tulip-p5064.so driver is the Tulip driver for
the Algorithmics P-5064 single-board computer only.
![Note:](../pointing.gif) |
When you start a single instance of the Tulip
driver on a multiport board (using the pci= option),
the board might not function unless this instance
is on the first interface.
On NICs with multiple interfaces
sharing a single SROM, the first NIC is the only one that can read the SROM. |
Start io-net using the Tulip driver and the full TCP/IP
stack:
io-net -d tulip-p5064 -p tcpip
- /dev/io-net
- The directory where, by default, drivers and protocol modules add
entries.

io-net.
