AC101P(4) BSD Programmer's Manual AC101P(4)NAMEAC101P - Physical layer (PHY) driver for Altima AC101 PHYceivers
SYNOPSIS
ac101p* at se? phy ?
DESCRIPTION
The ac101p driver supports the Altima AC101QF/TF series of PHYceivers for
10baseT and 100baseTX Ethernet. This device driver is called upon by net-
work device drivers; no direct administrative control is provided.
The ifconfig(8) command in conjunction with the device driver making us-
ing of this drivers services provides an administrative interface that
allows various physical level parameters (such as duplex, speed, and
loopback) to be controlled.
The AC101 supports NWay automatic speed and duplex negotiation as well as
automatic speed detection for hubs that do not support the NWay FLP pro-
tocol (both methods are defined by the IEEE 802.3u standard).
