Configuring Driver Parameters

This chapter describes how to configure the driver parameters used by the Sun
GigaSwift Ethernet adapter. This chapter contains the following sections:

“GigaSwift Ethernet Device Driver Parameters” on page 25

“Setting

ce

Driver Parameters” on page 33

“GigaSwift Ethernet Driver Operating Statistics” on page 39

GigaSwift Ethernet Device Driver
Parameters

The

ce

device driver controls the GigaSwift Ethernet devices. The

ce

driver is

attached to the UNIX

pci

name property

pci108e,abba

for the Sun GigaSwift

Ethernet adapter (

108e

is the vendor ID and

abba

is the PCI device ID).

You can manually configure the

ce

device driver parameters to customize each Sun

GigaSwift Ethernet adapter device in your system. This section provides an
overview of the capabilities of the GigaSwift Ethernet device used in the adapter,
lists the available

ce

device driver parameters, and describes how to configure these

parameters.

The Sun GigaSwift Ethernet UTP PCI adapter is capable of all the operating speeds
and modes listed in “Setting the Autonegotiation Mode” on page 36. The ce device
performs autonegotiation with the remote end of the link (link partner) to select a
common mode of operation. The ce device also supports a forced mode of operation.
