NAME
il —
Interlan NI1010 10 Mb/s Ethernet
interface
SYNOPSIS
il0 at uba0 csr 164000
DESCRIPTION
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.
DIAGNOSTICS
- 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.
