20 .LP
21 The \fBafe\fR driver is a multi-threaded, loadable, clonable, GLD-based
22 STREAMS driver supporting the Data Link Provider Interface \fBdlpi\fR(7P) on
23 ADMtek (now Infineon) Centaur and Comet Fast Ethernet controllers.
24 .SH APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
25 .sp
26 .LP
27 The \fBafe\fR driver can be used as either a "style 1" or a "style 2" Data Link
28 Service Provider. Physical points of attachment (PPAs) are interpreted as the
29 instance number of the \fBafe\fR controller as assigned by the Solaris
30 operating environment.

80 If the SAP provided is zero, then \fIIEEE 802.3\fR mode is assumed and outbound
81 frames will have the frame payload length written into the type field.
82 Likewise, inbound frames with a SAP between zero and 1500 are interpreted as
83 \fIIEEE 802.3\fR frames and delivered to any streams that are bound to SAP zero
84 (the \fI802.3\fR SAP).

97 Enables (default) or disables \fIIEEE 802.3u\fR auto-negotiation of link speed
98 and duplex settings. If enabled, the device negotiates among the supported (and
99 configured, see below) link options with the link partner. If disabled, at
100 least one of the link options below must be specified. The driver selects the
101 first enabled link option according to the \fIIEEE 802.3u\fR specified
102 preferences.

111 .RS 4n
112 Enables the 100 BaseT4 link option. (Note that most hardware does not support
113 this unusual link style. Also, this uses two pairs of wires for data, rather
114 than one.)

122 .sp .6
123 .RS 4n
124 Enables the 100 Base TX full-duplex link option. (This is generally the fastest
125 mode if both link partners support it. Most modern equipment supports this
126 mode.)

134 .sp .6
135 .RS 4n
136 Enables the 100 Base TX half-duplex link option. (Typically used when the link
137 partner is a 100 Mbps hub.)

147 Enables the 10 Base-T full-duplex link option. (This less-frequently used mode
148 is typically used when the link partner is a 10 Mbps switch.)

156 .sp .6
157 .RS 4n
158 Enables the 10 Base-T half-duplex link option. (This is the fall-back when no
159 other option is available. It is typically used when the link partner is a 10
160 Mbps hub or is an older network card.)

31 .Sh DESCRIPTION
32 The
33 .Nm
34 driver provides support for the Centaur and Comet families of Fast Ethernet
35 PCI controllers originally produced by ADMtek and Infineon.
36 .Lp
37 These devices generally support the standard Fast Ethernet features, including
38 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX, both full and half duplex operation, IEEE 802.3
39 autonegotiation, etc. They also support full size MTUs (1500 bytes),
40 even when used with VLANs. Most of them also support flow control.
41 .
42 .Lp
43 The device driver supports the
44 .Xr ieee802.3 5
45 properties, which can be configured with
46 .Xr dladm 1M .
47 .
48 .\" The driver also has a "forcefiber" driver.conf setting, but this is for
49 .\" very very obscure hardware, and we are not documenting this option
50 .\" for now.
