EN(4) BSD/i386 Kernel Interfaces Manual EN(4)NAMEen — device driver for Midway-based ATM interfaces
SYNOPSIS
device en
pseudo-device atm
DESCRIPTION
The en device driver supports Midway-based ATM interfaces including the
Efficient Networks, Inc. ENI-155 and Adaptec ANA-59x0. Midway is an ALL5
SAR (Segmentation and Reassembly) chip.
The driver only supports ATM PVCs. SVC or ATM-ARP is not supported.
To configure the card for IP, use something like:
# ifconfig en0 128.252.200.1 netmask 0xffffff00 up
To add a PVC to a host you must use the ``route'' command:
# route add -iface <remote IP address> -link en0:z.0.x.y
where x and y are the byte encoding of the VCI to use, and z is the byte
encoding of the following flags.
0x01 (use AAL5),
0x02 (if using AAL5, use a LLCSNAP header)
Thus, parameter 3 means AAL5 and LLC/SNAP encapsulation. Note that BPF
works only with LLC/SNAP encapsulation.
EXAMPLES
Suppose you have 2 hosts 128.252.200.1 and 128.252.200.2 connected by ATM
through PVC # 201 (0xc9). To enable the link use the following commands:
on host 128.252.200.1:
# ifconfig en0 128.252.200.1 netmask 0xffffff00 up
# route add -iface 128.252.200.2 -link en0:3.0.0.c9
on host 128.252.200.2:
# ifconfig en0 128.252.200.2 netmask 0xffffff00 up
# route add -iface 128.252.200.1 -link en0:3.0.0.c9
DIAGNOSTICS
en0 <Efficient Networks ENI-155p> rev 0 int a irq 5 on pci0:16
en0: ATM midway v0, board IDs 6.0, Utopia (pipelined), 512KB on-board RAM
en0: maximum DMA burst length = 64 bytes
en0: 7 32KB receive buffers, 8 32KB transmit buffers allocated
CAVEATS
The driver extensively uses DMA on PCI. The first generation PCI
chipsets do not work or exhibit poor performance.
