- This document describes the usage and errata of the 3Com "Vortex" device
- driver for Linux.
-
- This driver supports the following hardware:
- 3c590, 3c592, 3c595, 3c597
-
- When loaded as a module the following variables may be set:
- name type description
- debug int The debug message level, 0 (no messages) to 6 (wordy).
- options int[] The media type override and card operation settings
- (See list below.)
-
- An example of loading the vortex module is
- insmod 3c59x.o debug=1 options=0,,12
- This sets the debug message level to minimal messages, sets the first card to
- the 10baseT transceiver, the second to the EEPROM-set transceiver, and the
- third card to operate in full-duplex mode using its 100baseTx transceiver.
- (Note: card ordering is set by the PCI BIOS.)
-
- Possible media type settings
- 0 10baseT
- 1 10Mbs AUI
- 2 undefined
- 3 10base2 (BNC)
- 4 100base-TX
- 5 100base-FX
- 6 MII (not yet available)
- 7 <Use default setting>
-
- 8 Full-duplex bit
- 8 10baseT full-duplex
- 12 100baseTx full-duplex
- 16 Bus-master enable bit (experimental use only!)
-
- Details of the device driver implementation are at the top of the source file.
