NAME
       ee - Intel (82558/82559) PCI 10/100 Ethernet

SYNOPSIS
       config_driver ee

DESCRIPTION
       The  ee	interface supports the Intel 82558 and 82559-based HP adapters
       (including the DE60x line of adapters).	These PCI bus adapters support
       standard 10/100 Ethernet operation, and provide equivalent service com‐
       pared to the DE500-BA adapters (IEEE 802.3u Autonegotiation,  full/half
       duplex,	10/100	Mbps).	In  addition  to  the  standard	 features, our
       adapters support a hardware feature  called  parallel  detection.  This
       feature	detects	 speed	(10/100) and mode (full/half duplex) automati‐
       cally when connecting to a repeater/switch that does NOT	 perform  IEEE
       802.3u Autonegotiation.

       By  default,  the  driver  uses Autonegotiation mode.  This mode either
       connects to the remote partner  with  IEEE  802.3u  Autonegotiation  or
       resolves	 the speed and mode using parallel detection. The adapters are
       designed to automatically connect to all network configurations without
       manual  intervention.   However,	 if  manual  intervention is required,
       lan_config operations are supported (see lan_config(8) for more	infor‐
       mation).	 If  you want to preserve  your lan_config command information
       across system restarts, edit the /etc/inet.local file and  include  the
       appropriate  commands.  This  information also remains the same through
       system version updates.

       If you manually set the speed by using the ifconfig or lan_config  com‐
       mands,  autonegotiation	is automatically disabled. If you then want to
       enable autonegotiation (for example on interface ee0), use the  follow‐
       ing command:

       # lan_config -iee0 -a1

       This  driver does NOT require new console firmware to operate in a run‐
       time only manner. Tru64 UNIX does not use console variables  to	define
       media,  mode,  or  speed.  Booting over a network requires SRM firmware
       Version 5.5 or later (on most platforms).

ERRORS
       The following diagnostic error messages	contain	 relevant  information
       provided	 by  the  ee  interface, and are printed on the console.  Each
       message begins with the adapter identification, including the unit num‐
       ber  of the adapter.  The ee driver found a system that has not defined
       cachelinesize in the PCI configuration header.	This  is  an  informa‐
       tional message only, and the driver correctly defines the cachelinesize
       parameter.  Not enough free memory exists to run the driver.  The  EEP‐
       ROM  on	the board did not pass the checksum test.  The board indicated
       in this message is unusable.  The device did not pass self  test.   The
       diagnostic  test	 that  failed  follows immediately after this message.
       The board indicated in this message is unusable.
