NAME
wb
- Winbond W89C840F Fast Ethernet device driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel,
place the following lines in your
kernel configuration file:
device miibusdevice wb
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
module at boot time, place the following line in
loader.conf5:
if_wb_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The
driver provides support for PCI Ethernet adapters and embedded
controllers based on the Winbond W89C840F Fast Ethernet controller
chip.
The 840F should not be confused with the 940F, which is
an NE2000 clone and only supports 10Mbps speeds.
The Winbond controller uses bus master DMA and is designed to be
a DEC 'tulip' workalike.
It differs from the standard DEC design
in several ways: the control and status registers are spaced 4
bytes apart instead of 8, and the receive filter is programmed through
registers rather than by downloading a special setup frame via
the transmit DMA engine.
Using an external PHY, the Winbond chip
supports both 10 and 100Mbps speeds in either full or half duplex.
The
driver supports the following media types:
autoselect
Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
This is only
supported if the PHY chip attached to the Winbond controller
supports NWAY autonegotiation.
The user can manually override
the autoselected mode by adding media options to the
/etc/rc.conf
file.
10baseT/UTP
Set 10Mbps operation.
The
mediaopt
option can also be used to select either
full-duplex
or
half-duplex
modes.
100baseTX
Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation.
The
mediaopt
option can also be used to select either
full-duplex
or
half-duplex
modes.
The
driver supports the following media options:
full-duplex
Force full duplex operation
half-duplex
Force half duplex operation.
Note that the 100baseTX media type is only available if supported
by the adapter.
For more information on configuring this device, see
ifconfig(8).
HARDWARE
The
driver supports Winbond W89C840F based Fast Ethernet
adapters and embedded controllers including:
Trendware TE100-PCIE
DIAGNOSTICS
"wb%d: couldn't map memory"
A fatal initialization error has occurred.
"wb%d: couldn't map interrupt"
A fatal initialization error has occurred.
"wb%d: watchdog timeout"
The device has stopped responding to the network, or there is a problem with
the network connection (cable).
"wb%d: no memory for rx list"
The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the receiver ring.
"wb%d: no memory for tx list"
The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the transmitter ring when
allocating a pad buffer or collapsing an mbuf chain into a cluster.
"wb%d: chip is in D3 power state -- setting to D0"
This message applies only to adapters which support power
management.
Some operating systems place the controller in low power
mode when shutting down, and some PCI BIOSes fail to bring the chip
out of this state before configuring it.
The controller loses all of
its PCI configuration in the D3 state, so if the BIOS does not set
it back to full power mode in time, it will not be able to configure it
correctly.
The driver tries to detect this condition and bring
the adapter back to the D0 (full power) state, but this may not be
enough to return the driver to a fully operational condition.
If
you see this message at boot time and the driver fails to attach
the device as a network interface, you will have to perform second
warm boot to have the device properly configured.
Note that this condition only occurs when warm booting from another
operating system.
If you power down your system prior to booting
Fx ,
the card should be configured correctly.
The Winbond chip seems to behave strangely in some cases when the
link partner switches modes.
If for example both sides are set to
10Mbps half-duplex, and the other end is changed to 100Mbps
full-duplex, the Winbond's receiver suddenly starts writing trash
all over the RX descriptors.
The
driver handles this by forcing a reset of both the controller
chip and attached PHY.
This is drastic, but it appears to be the
only way to recover properly from this condition.
