etfdrv.206 Macronix MX987xx Family Fast Ethernet LLI driver
packaged for SCO-UNIX.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Introduction.
----------------
This is a SCO-UNIX LLI driver for Macronix MX987xx Family
Fast Ethernet Adapters whose released version is 2.0.5.
It is installed by "custom" and configured by using
"netconfig" command.
The LLI driver requires the following hardware and software:
- Macronix MX987xx Family Fast Ethernet Adapters.
- SCO-UNIX ODT 2.0 (rev 3.2.4) or higher version and
SCO OpenServer 5.0.
B. Installation Procedure.
--------------------------
1. Prepare a formatted diskette on any DOS machine. For example, type:
C>format a:
2. Now boot the SCO-UNIX and enter the Maintenance mode.
Please follow the following steps to uncompress the package file:
> cd /tmp (and inserts the package floppy in the proper drive,
i.e. drive A:)
> doscp a:/sco-unix/llidrv/etfdrv.204 etftar
> then replaces with the prepared formatted diskette done in step 1.
> dd if=etftar of=/dev/rfd0135ds18
(Note: Use another device file name if you use a different
floppy drive.)
> Now the package installation diskette is ready for installing.
3. The following sections describe the configuration of the driver.
It is suggested that you should perform these instructions in the
singler-user environment (maintenance mode).

4) Quit
Select option:
3.1.3. Please follow the indications below to finish the driver
installation:
a. Select option 1 "Add a chain"
b. Select top level of chain to Add or q to quit:
please choose the option "1. sco_tcp SCO TCP/IP for UNIX"
c. Select next level of chain to Add or q to quit:
please "Macronix MX987xx Family Fast Ethernet Adapter 0"
d. Add chain sco_tcp->etf0 (y/n):
please type 'y'to confirm the choice.
e. Enter the internet Address of this interface: n.n.n.n
f. Enter the netmask for this interface (default 255.255.255.0):
g. Does the interface use a broadcast address of all 1's (y/n)
(default: y):
h. Enter the boardcast address for this interface
(default: n.n.n.n):
i. Are these values correct ? (y/n):
please type 'y'to confirm the choice.
j. Pseudo ttys are currently configured, do you want to:
1) Add Pseudo ttys
2) Remove Pseudo ttys
Select an option or enter q to quit [q]:
please type 'q' to exit the installation.
k. Available options:
1) Add a chain
2) Remove a chain
3) Reconfigure an element in a chain
4) Quit
Select option:
please type 'q' to leave the configuration.
l. Do you want to relink to kernel now?
please type 'y' to relink the kernel.
m. Do you want this kernel to boot by default? (y/n)

n. Do you want the kernel environment rebuilt? (y/n)
please type 'y' to set up the new kernel environment.
o. Reboot system:
please type "shutdown -g0 -y" or "reboot" to activate
the new added driver under the new UNIX kernel.
3.2 SCO OpenServer 5.0.
3.2.1. Run "custom" command and select the "Install New..."
option under "Software" item. It will prompt you
"Installing: Macronix MX987xx Family Fast Ethernet LLI
Driver (version 2.0.5)" and then choose the "FULL"
option to install this package.
After run the "custom" command and the new package is
installed, you should continue to run the "netconfig"
command to add the driver into your system following
the procedures 3.2.2 below.
3.2.2. Run "netconfig" to add the desired LAN adapter.
The steps for adding the new LAN adapter are
listed below:
a. When the "Network Configuration Manager" is shown,
please select "Add new LAN adapter" option under
"Hardware" main item.
b. When the screen "Add new LAN Adapter" is shown,then
select the option "Configure hardware not listed
above... ]".
c. After "Select network adapter to be added:" is shown,
please select the "Macronix MX987xx Family Fast Ethernet
Adapter 0" item to add the driver into the system.
d. When the driver is selected correctly, the "Add protocol"
will be shown, then select the item "- SCO TCP/IP" as the
default protocol stack.
e. After finished the "TCP/IP" protocol choice, the success
message will be shown as following:
"The following products were sucessfully configured into
the system:
SCO TCP/IP
Macronix MX987xx Family Fast Ethernet Adapter 0"
f. When the adapter has been configured, select 'q' from the
netconfig menu, and relink the kernel at the prompt.
4. When the system has been rebooted, you should see the following message
among the other configuration messages:
%etf0 0xE400-0xE480 11 12 speed=100Mbs id=[xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx]
with the appropriate I/O addresses, IRQ, PCI device number, line
speed, and the six octets of the adapter IEEE MAC address.
5. Setup driver line speed parameter.
- Make sure the driver is installed and booted up.
- Change the directory to /etc/conf/pack.d/etf0
- Modify the value of "SpeedMode" which is located in
"space.c". If only one card is installed, please
change the value which is included in the statement
of "#ifdef ETF_CNTLS". If two cards are installed,
please change the values which are included in the
statements of "#ifdef ETF_CNTLS" and "#ifdef ETF1_CNTLS".
If more than two cards are installed, please follow
the above stated rule to change the line speed value.
- SpeedMode[] : default is "AUTO".
AUTO : start NWAY function to perform media speed detection
during driver initialization.
TX10 : line speed is set to 10 Mega bits per second.
TX10FD : line speed is set to 10Mbps full duplex mode.
TX100 : line speed is set to 100 Mega bits per second.
TX100FD : line speed is set to 100Mbps full duplex mode.
6. If you encounter any problems during installation, (i.e., an error
message appears on screen) call your dealer for assistance.
Notes: 1. This driver supports up to maximum 4 boards.
2. Device name is etf0, etf1, etf2, etf3.
