8 sfe \- SiS900 series Fast Ethernet device driver
18 The \fBsfe\fR driver is a loadable, clonable, GLD-based STREAMS driver
19 supporting the Data Link Provider Interface \fBdlpi\fR(7P) on Silicon
20 Integrated Systems 900 series Fast Ethernet controllers.
21 .SH APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
24 The relevant fields returned as part of a \fBDL_INFO_ACK\fR response are:
41 The dlsap address length is 8.
47 MAC type is \fBDL_ETHER\fR.
53 SAP length is -2. The 6-byte physical address is followed immediately by a
60 Service mode is \fBDL_CLDLS\fR.
66 Broadcast address is the 6-byte Ethernet broadcast address
67 (\fBff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff\fR).
71 If the SAP provided is zero, then \fIIEEE 802.3\fR mode is assumed and outbound
72 frames will have the frame payload length written into the type field.
73 Likewise, inbound frames with a SAP between zero and 1500 are interpreted as
74 \fIIEEE 802.3\fR frames and delivered to any streams that are bound to SAP zero
75 (the \fI802.3\fR SAP).
79 The following properties may be configured using either \fBndd\fR(8) or
80 the \fBsfe.conf\fR configuration file as described by \fBdriver.conf\fR(4):
84 \fB\fBadv_100fdx_cap\fR\fR
88 Enables the 100 Base TX full-duplex link option. (This is generally the fastest
89 mode if both link partners support it. Most modern equipment supports this
96 \fB\fBadv_100hdx_cap\fR\fR
100 Enables the 100 Base TX half-duplex link option. (Typically used when the link
101 partner is a 100 Mbps hub.)
107 \fB\fBadv_10fdx_cap\fR\fR
111 Enables the 10 Base-T full-duplex link option. (This less-frequently used mode
112 is typically used when the link partner is a 10 Mbps switch.)
118 \fB\fBadv_10hdx_cap\fR\fR
122 Enables the 10 Base-T half-duplex link option. (This is the fall-back when no
123 other option is available. It is typically used when the link partner is a 10
124 Mbps hub or is an older network card.)
