NAME
       amd8111s - AMD-8111 Fast Ethernet Network Adapter driver

SYNOPSIS
       /dev/amd8111s

DESCRIPTION
       The  amd8111s Fast Ethernet driver is a multi-threaded, loadable, clon‐
       able,  GLD-based	 STREAMS  driver supporting  the  Data	Link  Provider
       Interface, dlpi(7P), on the AMD-8111 Fast Ethernet Network Adapter.

       The  amd8111s driver functions include controller initialization, frame
       transmit and receive, promiscuous  and  multicast  support,  and	 error
       recovery and reporting.

APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
       The  cloning,  character-special	 device /dev/amd8111 is used to access
       all AMD-8111 Fast Ethernet devices installed within the system.

       The amd8111s driver is managed by the dladm(1M) command	line  utility,
       which  allows  VLANs to be defined on top of amd8111s instances and for
       amd8111s instances to be aggregated.  See dladm(1M) for more details.

CONFIGURATION
       By default, the amd8111s driver performs auto-negotiation to select the
       link speed and mode. Link speed and mode can be any of the following:

       100 Mbps, full-duplex.

       100 Mbps, half-duplex.

       10 Mbps, full-duplex.

       10 Mbps, half-duplex.
