CM(4) | Device Drivers Manual | CM(4) |
NAME¶
cm
—
SYNOPSIS¶
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:device isa
device cm
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
if_cm_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION¶
Thecm
driver provides support for the Arcnet ISA
network adapters.
This driver also has quirks preset in the device.hints(5) file for card detection.
HARDWARE¶
Thecm
driver supports the following card models:
- SMC90c26
- SMC90c56
- SMC90c66 in '56 compatibility mode.
IMPLEMENTATION NOTES¶
When the NOARP flag is set on thecm
interface, it does not employ the address
resolution protocol described in arp(4) to dynamically map
between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local network. Instead it uses
the least significant 8 bits of the IP address as the hardware address like
described in RFC 1051 and RFC 1201.
With the IFF_LINK0
flag cleared
IP/ARP/RARP encoding is done according to RFC 1201 that is, with Packet
Header Definition Standard header and packet type 212 / 213. The MTU is
normally 1500. The IFF_LINK0
flag is cleared by
default.
With the IFF_LINK0
flag set, IP and ARP
encoding is done according to the deprecated RFC 1051 encoding, that is with
simple header, packet type 240 / 241, and the MTU is 507.
When switching between the two modes, use
ifconfig interfacename down
up
DIAGNOSTICS¶
The following driver specific error messages may be reported:- reset: card reset, link addr = 0x%02x (cm%d)
- The card is being reset and a new link address assigned.
- srint: restarted rx on buf cm%d
- The rx buffer has been emptied and will be reset.

Thecm
device was ported from
NetBSD by
Max Khon <fjoe@FreeBSD.org> and first appeared in FreeBSD 4.6. This manual page first appeared in FreeBSD 5.3.
AUTHORS¶
This manual page was written by Tom Rhodes <trhodes@FreeBSD.org>. The IMPLEMENTATION NOTES section was submitted byMax Khon <fjoe@FreeBSD.org> and originated from NetBSD.
BUGS¶
Thecm
driver code could do with a bit of improvement,
it would be nice if some one could come along and take care of this.
The IMPLEMENTATION NOTES section is specific to all Arcnet devices (see sys/net/if_arcsubr.c) and should be moved to a more generic location.
