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 + |
