DE(4)                 NetBSD/vax Kernel Interfaces Manual                DE(4)


NAME

     de -- DEC DEUNA/DELUA 10 Mb/s Ethernet interface


SYNOPSIS

     de0 at uba? csr 174510


DESCRIPTION

     The de interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network through a
     Digital Equipment UNIBUS Network Adapter (DEUNA).

     Each of the host's network addresses is specified at boot time with an
     SIOCSIFADDR ioctl(2).  The de interface employs the address resolution
     protocol described in arp(4) to dynamically map between Internet and Eth-
     ernet addresses on the local network.


DIAGNOSTICS

     de%d: hardware address %s.  This is a normal autoconfiguration message
     noting the 6 byte physical Ethernet address of the adapter.

     de%d: oerror, flags=%b tdrerr=%b (len=%d).  The hardware indicated an
     error in transmitting a packet to the cable.  The status and error flags
     are reported.

     de%d: ierror, flags=%b lenerr=%b (len=%d).  The hardware indicated an
     error in reading a packet from the cable.  The status and error flags are
     reported.

     The following messages indicate a probable hardware error performing the
     indicated operation during autoconfiguration or initialization.  The two
     control and status registers should indicate the nature of the failure.
     See the hardware manual for details.

     de%d: reset failed, csr0=%b csr1=%b.
     de%d: ppcb failed, csr0=%b csr1=%b.
     de%d: read addr failed, csr0=%b csr1=%b.
     de%d: wtring failed, csr0=%b csr1=%b.
     de%d: wtmode failed, csr0=%b csr1=%b.
