ibmtr_cs(4)
NAME
ibmtr_cs - IBM Token Ring PCMCIA device driver
SYNOPSIS
insmod ibmtr_cs.o [pc_debug=n] [mmiobase=n] [srambase=n] [ringspeed=n] [irq_list=i,j,...]
DESCRIPTION
ibmtr_cs is the low-level Card Services driver for the IBM
Token Ring network adapter and a few very similar cards.
When this driver is attached to a card, it allocates the
next available token ring interface (tr0..tr#). This
device name will be reported in the kernel log file, and
passed on to cardmgr(8).
Due to awkward design of the kernel ibmtr driver, the
shared packet memory for these cards must be mapped to a
memory address below 1MB or 0x100000. The PCMCIA software
will attempt to do this automatically, but the automatic
algorithm may choose values that conflict with other sys
tem devices, so a manual override with the srambase param
eter may be required. The memory-mapped IO window gener
ally will not be a problem.
PARAMETERS
- pc_debug=n
- Selects the PCMCIA debugging level. This parameter
is only available if the module is compiled with
debugging enabled. A non-zero value enables debug
ging. - mmiobase=n
- Specifies a fixed address for the card's memory
mapped IO window. The default is to select any
available memory window. - srambase=n
- Specifies a fixed address for the card's shared
packet memory. The default is to select any avail
able window below 1MB. - ringspeed=n
- Selects the network speed, in mb/sec. Valid values
are 4 or 16, and the default is 16.
