NAME
sk
- SysKonnect SK-984x and SK-982x PCI Gigabit Ethernet adapter driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel,
place the following lines in your
kernel configuration file:
device miibusdevice sk
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
module at boot time, place the following line in
loader.conf5:
if_sk_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The
driver provides support for the SysKonnect SK-984x and SK-982x series PCI
Gigabit Ethernet adapters.
The SysKonnect adapters consist of two main components: the XaQti Corp.
XMAC II gigabit MAC and the SysKonnect GEnesis controller ASIC.
The
XMAC provides the gigabit MAC and PHY support while the GEnesis
provides an interface to the PCI bus, DMA support, packet buffering
and arbitration.
The GEnesis can control up to two XMACs simultaneously,
allowing dual-port NIC configurations.
The SK-982x 1000baseT adapters also include a Broadcom BCM5400 1000baseTX
PHY which is used in place of the XMAC's internal PHY.
The Broadcom PHY is connected to the XMAC via its GMII port.
The
driver configures dual port SysKonnect adapters such that each XMAC
is treated as a separate logical network interface.
Both ports can
operate independently of each other and can be connected to separate
networks.
The SysKonnect driver software currently only uses the
second port on dual port adapters for failover purposes: if the link
on the primary port fails, the SysKonnect driver will automatically
switch traffic onto the second port.
Also supported is the Marvell Semiconductor 88E1000* gigabit PHY.
The XaQti XMAC II supports full and half duplex operation with
autonegotiation.
The XMAC also supports unlimited frame sizes.
Support for jumbo frames is provided via the interface MTU setting.
Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the
ifconfig(8)
utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit jumbo frames.
Using jumbo frames can greatly improve performance for certain tasks,
such as file transfers and data streaming.
The
driver supports the following media types:
autoselect
Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
The user can manually override
the autoselected mode by adding media options to the
/etc/rc.conf
file.
1000baseTX
Set 1000baseTX operation over twisted pair.
This is only available
for SK-982x series adapters with 1000baseT ports.
Both
full-duplex
and
half-duplex
modes are supported.
1000baseSX
Set 1000Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) operation.
Both
full-duplex
and
half-duplex
modes are supported.
The
driver supports the following media options:
full-duplex
Force full duplex operation
half-duplex
Force half duplex operation.
The
driver also supports one special link option for 1000baseTX cards:
link0
With 1000baseTX cards, establishing a link between two ports requires
that one port is configured as master and the other one as slave.
With autonegotiation,
the master/slave settings will be chosen automatically.
However when manually selecting the link state, it is necessary to
force one side of the link to be a master and the other a slave.
The
driver configures the ports as slaves by default.
Setting the
link0
flag with
ifconfig(8)
will set a port as a master instead.
For more information on configuring this device, see
ifconfig(8).
HARDWARE
Adapters supported by the
driver include:
3Com 3C940 single port, 1000baseT adapter
3Com 3C2000-T single port, 1000baseT adapter
Belkin F5D5005 single port, 1000baseT adapter
D-Link DGE-530T single port, 1000baseT adapter
Linksys EG1032 single port, 1000baseT adapter
SK-9521 SK-NET GE-T single port, 1000baseT adapter
SK-9821 SK-NET GE-T single port, 1000baseT adapter
SK-9822 SK-NET GE-T dual port, 1000baseT adapter
SK-9841 SK-NET GE-LX single port, single mode fiber adapter
SK-9842 SK-NET GE-LX dual port, single mode fiber adapter
SK-9843 SK-NET GE-SX single port, multimode fiber adapter
The following variable is available as both
sysctl(8)
variable and
loader(8)
tunable:
dev.skc.%d.int_mod
This variable controls interrupt moderation.
The accepted range is 10 to 10000, default value is 100 microseconds.
The interface has to be brought down and up again before a change takes effect.
DIAGNOSTICS
"sk%d: couldn't map memory"
A fatal initialization error has occurred.
"sk%d: couldn't map ports"
A fatal initialization error has occurred.
"sk%d: couldn't map interrupt"
A fatal initialization error has occurred.
"sk%d: no memory for softc struct!"
The driver failed to allocate memory for per-device instance information
during initialization.
"sk%d: failed to enable memory mapping!"
The driver failed to initialize PCI shared memory mapping.
This might
happen if the card is not in a bus-master slot.
"sk%d: no memory for jumbo buffers!"
The driver failed to allocate memory for jumbo frames during
initialization.
"sk%d: watchdog timeout"
The device has stopped responding to the network, or there is a problem with
the network connection (cable).
