I haven't had any solid evidence - either way. - - However, if a card supports 100BaseTx without requiring an add - on daughterboard, it should work with 100BaseTx. - - The "Netelligent 10 T/2 PCI UTP/Coax" (b012) device is untested, - but I do not expect any problems. - - -II. Driver Options - 1. You can append debug=x to the end of the insmod line to get - debug messages, where x is a bit field where the bits mean - the following: - - 0x01 Turn on general debugging messages. - 0x02 Turn on receive debugging messages. - 0x04 Turn on transmit debugging messages. - 0x08 Turn on list debugging messages. - - 2. You can append aui=1 to the end of the insmod line to cause - the adapter to use the AUI interface instead of the 10 Base T - interface. This is also what to do if you want to use the BNC - connector on a TLAN based device. (Setting this option on a - device that does not have an AUI/BNC connector will probably - cause it to not function correctly.) - - 3. You can set duplex=1 to force half duplex, and duplex=2 to - force full duplex. - - 4. You can set speed=10 to force 10Mbs operation, and speed=100 - to force 100Mbs operation. (I'm not sure what will happen - if a card which only supports 10Mbs is forced into 100Mbs - mode.) - - 5. You have to use speed=X duplex=Y together now. If you just - do "insmod tlan.o speed=100" the driver will do Auto-Neg. - To force a 10Mbps Half-Duplex link do "insmod tlan.o speed=10 - duplex=1". - - 6. If the driver is built into the kernel, you can use the 3rd - and 4th parameters to set aui and debug respectively. For - example: - - ether=0,0,0x1,0x7,eth0 - - This sets aui to 0x1 and debug to 0x7, assuming eth0 is a - supported TLAN device. - - The bits in the third byte are assigned as follows: - - 0x01 = aui - 0x02 = use half duplex - 0x04 = use full duplex - 0x08 = use 10BaseT - 0x10 = use 100BaseTx - - You also need to set both speed and duplex settings when forcing - speeds with kernel-parameters. - ether=0,0,0x12,0,eth0 will force link to 100Mbps Half-Duplex. - - 7. If you have more than one tlan adapter in your system, you can - use the above options on a per adapter basis. To force a 100Mbit/HD - link with your eth1 adapter use: - - insmod tlan speed=0,100 duplex=0,1 - - Now eth0 will use auto-neg and eth1 will be forced to 100Mbit/HD. - Note that the tlan driver supports a maximum of 8 adapters. - - -III. Things to try if you have problems. - 1. Make sure your card's PCI id is among those listed in - section I, above. - 2. Make sure routing is correct. - 3. Try forcing different speed/duplex settings - - -There is also a tlan mailing list which you can join by sending "subscribe tlan" -in the body of an email to majordomo@vuser.vu.union.edu. -There is also a tlan website at http://www.compaq.com - |
