13 The sfe driver is a loadable, clonable, GLD-based STREAMS driver sup‐
14 porting the Data Link Provider Interface dlpi(7P) on Silicon Integrated
15 Systems 900 series Fast Ethernet controllers.
16
18 The relevant fields returned as part of a DL_INFO_ACK response are:
19
20 o Maximum SDU is 1500.
21
22 o Minimum SDU is 0.
23
24 o The dlsap address length is 8.
25
26 o MAC type is DL_ETHER.
27
28 o SAP length is -2. The 6-byte physical address is followed
29 immediately by a 2-byte SAP.
30
31 o Service mode is DL_CLDLS.
32
33 o Broadcast address is the 6-byte Ethernet broadcast address
34 (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff).
35
36
37 If the SAP provided is zero, then IEEE 802.3 mode is assumed and out‐
38 bound frames will have the frame payload length written into the type
39 field. Likewise, inbound frames with a SAP between zero and 1500 are
40 interpreted as IEEE 802.3 frames and delivered to any streams that are
41 bound to SAP zero (the 802.3 SAP).
42
44 The following properties may be configured using either ndd(1M) or
45 the sfe.conf configuration file as described by driver.conf(4):
46
47 adv_100fdx_cap
48
49 Enables the 100 Base TX full-duplex link option. (This is generally
50 the fastest mode if both link partners support it. Most modern
51 equipment supports this mode.)
52
53
54 adv_100hdx_cap
55
56 Enables the 100 Base TX half-duplex link option. (Typically used
57 when the link partner is a 100 Mbps hub.)
58
59
60 adv_10fdx_cap
61
62 Enables the 10 Base-T full-duplex link option. (This less-fre‐
63 quently used mode is typically used when the link partner is a 10
64 Mbps switch.)
65
66
67 adv_10hdx_cap
68
69 Enables the 10 Base-T half-duplex link option. (This is the fall-
70 back when no other option is available. It is typically used when
71 the link partner is a 10 Mbps hub or is an older network card.)
