(1) Special Driver Features
Special Driver Features
=======================
Overriding card settings
The driver allows boot- or load-time overriding of the card's detected IOADDR,
IRQ, and transceiver settings, although this capability shouldn't generally be
needed except to enable full-duplex mode (see below). An example of the syntax
for LILO parameters for doing this:
for LILO parameters for doing this::
ether=10,0x310,3,0x3c509,eth0
ether=10,0x310,3,0x3c509,eth0
This configures the first found 3c509 card for IRQ 10, base I/O 0x310, and
transceiver type 3 (10base2). The flag "0x3c509" must be set to avoid conflicts
with other card types when overriding the I/O address. When the driver is
loaded as a module, only the IRQ may be overridden. For example,
setting two cards to IRQ10 and IRQ11 is done by using the irq module
option:
option::
options 3c509 irq=10,11
(2) Full-duplex mode
Full-duplex mode
================
The v1.18c driver added support for the 3c509B's full-duplex capabilities.
In order to enable and successfully use full-duplex mode, three conditions
must be met:

/////Extremely important caution concerning full-duplex mode/////
Understand that the 3c509B's hardware's full-duplex support is much more
limited than that provide by more modern network interface cards. Although
at the physical layer of the network it fully supports full-duplex operation,
the card was designed before the current Ethernet auto-negotiation (N-way)
spec was written. This means that the 3c509B family ***cannot and will not
auto-negotiate a full-duplex connection with its link partner under any
circumstances, no matter how it is initialized***. If the full-duplex mode
of the 3c509B is enabled, its link partner will very likely need to be
independently _forced_ into full-duplex mode as well; otherwise various nasty
failures will occur - at the very least, you'll see massive numbers of packet
collisions. This is one of very rare circumstances where disabling auto-
negotiation and forcing the duplex mode of a network interface card or switch
would ever be necessary or desirable.

RSS for UDP
---------------------------------
RSS for UDP
-----------
Currently, NIC does not support RSS for fragmented IP packets, which leads to
incorrect working of RSS for fragmented UDP traffic. To disable RSS for UDP the
RX Flow L3/L4 rule may be used.
Example:
ethtool -N eth0 flow-type udp4 action 0 loc 32
Example::
ethtool -N eth0 flow-type udp4 action 0 loc 32
UDP GSO hardware offload

UDP GSO allows to boost UDP tx rates by offloading UDP headers allocation
into hardware. A special userspace socket option is required for this,

3.0 LOADING THE DRIVER AS A MODULE
===============================================================================
3. Loading the Driver as a Module
=================================
If the driver is compiled as a loadable module, you can load the driver module
with the 'modprobe' command. Many of the adapter's configuration parameters can
be specified as command-line arguments to the load command. This facility
provides a means to override the EEPROM's settings or for interface
with the 'modprobe' command. Many of the adapter's configuration parameters can
be specified as command-line arguments to the load command. This facility
provides a means to override the EEPROM's settings or for interface
configuration when an EEPROM is not used.
Example:
Example::
insmod cs89x0.o io=0x200 irq=0xA media=aui
This example loads the module and configures the adapter to use an IO port base
address of 200h, interrupt 10, and use the AUI media connection. The following
configuration options are available on the command line:
* io=### - specify IO address (200h-360h)
* irq=## - specify interrupt level
* use_dma=1 - Enable DMA
* dma=# - specify dma channel (Driver is compiled to support
Rx DMA only)
* dmasize=# (16 or 64) - DMA size 16K or 64K. Default value is set to 16.
* media=rj45 - specify media type
configuration options are available on the command line::
io=### - specify IO address (200h-360h)
irq=## - specify interrupt level
use_dma=1 - Enable DMA
dma=# - specify dma channel (Driver is compiled to support
Rx DMA only)
dmasize=# (16 or 64) - DMA size 16K or 64K. Default value is set to 16.
media=rj45 - specify media type
or media=bnc
or media=aui
or media=auto
* duplex=full - specify forced half/full/autonegotiate duplex
duplex=full - specify forced half/full/autonegotiate duplex
or duplex=half
or duplex=auto
* debug=# - debug level (only available if the driver was compiled
for debugging)
debug=# - debug level (only available if the driver was compiled
for debugging)
NOTES:
**Notes:**
a) If an EEPROM is present, any specified command-line parameter
will override the corresponding configuration value stored in
EEPROM.
b) The "io" parameter must be specified on the command-line.
b) The "io" parameter must be specified on the command-line.
c) The driver's hardware probe routine is designed to avoid
writing to I/O space until it knows that there is a cs89x0
card at the written addresses. This could cause problems
with device probing. To avoid this behaviour, add one
to the `io=' module parameter. This doesn't actually change
to the ``io=`` module parameter. This doesn't actually change
the I/O address, but it is a flag to tell the driver
to partially initialise the hardware before trying to
identify the card. This could be dangerous if you are
not sure that there is a cs89x0 card at the provided address.
For example, to scan for an adapter located at IO base 0x300,
specify an IO address of 0x301.

4.0 COMPILING THE DRIVER
===============================================================================
4. Compiling the Driver
=======================
The cs89x0 driver can be compiled directly into the kernel or compiled into
a loadable device driver module.
Just use the standard way to configure the driver and compile the Kernel.
4.1 COMPILING THE DRIVER AS A LOADABLE MODULE
To compile the driver into a loadable module, use the following command
(single command line, without quotes):
"gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -DMODULE -DCONFIG_MODVERSIONS
-c cs89x0.c"
4.2 COMPILING THE DRIVER TO SUPPORT MEMORY MODE
Support for memory mode was not carried over into the 2.3 series kernels.
4.3 COMPILING THE DRIVER TO SUPPORT Rx DMA
4.1. Compiling the Driver to Support Rx DMA
-------------------------------------------
The compile-time optionality for DMA was removed in the 2.3 kernel
series. DMA support is now unconditionally part of the driver. It is
enabled by the 'use_dma=1' module option.

This test requires that each of the two PCs have a CS8900/20-based adapter
installed and have the CS8900/20 Setup Utility running. The first PC is
configured as a Responder and the other PC is configured as an Initiator.
Once the Initiator is started, it sends data frames to the Responder which
installed and have the CS8900/20 Setup Utility running. The first PC is
configured as a Responder and the other PC is configured as an Initiator.
Once the Initiator is started, it sends data frames to the Responder which
returns the frames to the Initiator.

SB100 device driver
===================
sb1000 is a module network device driver for the General Instrument (also known
as NextLevel) SURFboard1000 internal cable modem board. This is an ISA card
which is used by a number of cable TV companies to provide cable modem access.
It's a one-way downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link
is provided by your regular phone modem.
This driver was written by Franco Venturi <fventuri@mediaone.net>. He deserves
a great deal of thanks for this wonderful piece of code!
Needed tools
============
Support for this device is now a part of the standard Linux kernel. The
driver source code file is drivers/net/sb1000.c. In addition to this
you will need:
1. The "cmconfig" program. This is a utility which supplements "ifconfig"
to configure the cable modem and network interface (usually called "cm0");
2. Several PPP scripts which live in /etc/ppp to make connecting via your
cable modem easy.
These utilities can be obtained from:
http://www.jacksonville.net/~fventuri/
in Franco's original source code distribution .tar.gz file. Support for
the sb1000 driver can be found at:
- http://web.archive.org/web/%2E/http://home.adelphia.net/~siglercm/sb1000.html
- http://web.archive.org/web/%2E/http://linuxpower.cx/~cable/
along with these utilities.
3. The standard isapnp tools. These are necessary to configure your SB1000
card at boot time (or afterwards by hand) since it's a PnP card.
If you don't have these installed as a standard part of your Linux
distribution, you can find them at:
http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/
or check your Linux distribution binary CD or their web site. For help with
isapnp, pnpdump, or /etc/isapnp.conf, go to:
http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/isapnpfaq.html
Using the driver
================
To make the SB1000 card work, follow these steps:
1. Run ``make config``, or ``make menuconfig``, or ``make xconfig``, whichever
you prefer, in the top kernel tree directory to set up your kernel
configuration. Make sure to say "Y" to "Prompt for development drivers"
and to say "M" to the sb1000 driver. Also say "Y" or "M" to all the standard
networking questions to get TCP/IP and PPP networking support.
2. **BEFORE** you build the kernel, edit drivers/net/sb1000.c. Make sure
to redefine the value of READ_DATA_PORT to match the I/O address used
by isapnp to access your PnP cards. This is the value of READPORT in
/etc/isapnp.conf or given by the output of pnpdump.
3. Build and install the kernel and modules as usual.
4. Boot your new kernel following the usual procedures.
5. Set up to configure the new SB1000 PnP card by capturing the output
of "pnpdump" to a file and editing this file to set the correct I/O ports,
IRQ, and DMA settings for all your PnP cards. Make sure none of the settings
conflict with one another. Then test this configuration by running the
"isapnp" command with your new config file as the input. Check for
errors and fix as necessary. (As an aside, I use I/O ports 0x110 and
0x310 and IRQ 11 for my SB1000 card and these work well for me. YMMV.)
Then save the finished config file as /etc/isapnp.conf for proper
configuration on subsequent reboots.
6. Download the original file sb1000-1.1.2.tar.gz from Franco's site or one of
the others referenced above. As root, unpack it into a temporary directory
and do a ``make cmconfig`` and then ``install -c cmconfig /usr/local/sbin``.
Don't do ``make install`` because it expects to find all the utilities built
and ready for installation, not just cmconfig.
7. As root, copy all the files under the ppp/ subdirectory in Franco's
tar file into /etc/ppp, being careful not to overwrite any files that are
already in there. Then modify ppp@gi-on to set the correct login name,
phone number, and frequency for the cable modem. Also edit pap-secrets
to specify your login name and password and any site-specific information
you need.
8. Be sure to modify /etc/ppp/firewall to use ipchains instead of
the older ipfwadm commands from the 2.0.x kernels. There's a neat utility to
convert ipfwadm commands to ipchains commands:
http://users.dhp.com/~whisper/ipfwadm2ipchains/
You may also wish to modify the firewall script to implement a different
firewalling scheme.
9. Start the PPP connection via the script /etc/ppp/ppp@gi-on. You must be
root to do this. It's better to use a utility like sudo to execute
frequently used commands like this with root permissions if possible. If you
connect successfully the cable modem interface will come up and you'll see a
driver message like this at the console::
cm0: sb1000 at (0x110,0x310), csn 1, S/N 0x2a0d16d8, IRQ 11.
sb1000.c:v1.1.2 6/01/98 (fventuri@mediaone.net)
The "ifconfig" command should show two new interfaces, ppp0 and cm0.
The command "cmconfig cm0" will give you information about the cable modem
interface.
10. Try pinging a site via ``ping -c 5 www.yahoo.com``, for example. You should
see packets received.
11. If you can't get site names (like www.yahoo.com) to resolve into
IP addresses (like 204.71.200.67), be sure your /etc/resolv.conf file
has no syntax errors and has the right nameserver IP addresses in it.
If this doesn't help, try something like ``ping -c 5 204.71.200.67`` to
see if the networking is running but the DNS resolution is where the
problem lies.
12. If you still have problems, go to the support web sites mentioned above
and read the information and documentation there.
Common problems
===============
1. Packets go out on the ppp0 interface but don't come back on the cm0
interface. It looks like I'm connected but I can't even ping any
numerical IP addresses. (This happens predominantly on Debian systems due
to a default boot-time configuration script.)
Solution
As root ``echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/cm0/rp_filter`` so it
can share the same IP address as the ppp0 interface. Note that this
command should probably be added to the /etc/ppp/cablemodem script
*right*between* the "/sbin/ifconfig" and "/sbin/cmconfig" commands.
You may need to do this to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/ppp0/rp_filter as well.
If you do this to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/default/rp_filter on each reboot
(in rc.local or some such) then any interfaces can share the same IP
addresses.
2. I get "unresolved symbol" error messages on executing ``insmod sb1000.o``.
Solution
You probably have a non-matching kernel source tree and
/usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm header files. Make sure you
install the correct versions of the header files in these two directories.
Then rebuild and reinstall the kernel.
3. When isapnp runs it reports an error, and my SB1000 card isn't working.
Solution
There's a problem with later versions of isapnp using the "(CHECK)"
option in the lines that allocate the two I/O addresses for the SB1000 card.
This first popped up on RH 6.0. Delete "(CHECK)" for the SB1000 I/O addresses.
Make sure they don't conflict with any other pieces of hardware first! Then
rerun isapnp and go from there.
4. I can't execute the /etc/ppp/ppp@gi-on file.
Solution
As root do ``chmod ug+x /etc/ppp/ppp@gi-on``.
5. The firewall script isn't working (with 2.2.x and higher kernels).
Solution
Use the ipfwadm2ipchains script referenced above to convert the
/etc/ppp/firewall script from the deprecated ipfwadm commands to ipchains.
6. I'm getting *tons* of firewall deny messages in the /var/kern.log,
/var/messages, and/or /var/syslog files, and they're filling up my /var
partition!!!
Solution
First, tell your ISP that you're receiving DoS (Denial of Service)
and/or portscanning (UDP connection attempts) attacks! Look over the deny
messages to figure out what the attack is and where it's coming from. Next,
edit /etc/ppp/cablemodem and make sure the ",nobroadcast" option is turned on
to the "cmconfig" command (uncomment that line). If you're not receiving these
denied packets on your broadcast interface (IP address xxx.yyy.zzz.255
typically), then someone is attacking your machine in particular. Be careful
out there....
7. Everything seems to work fine but my computer locks up after a while
(and typically during a lengthy download through the cable modem)!
Solution
You may need to add a short delay in the driver to 'slow down' the
SURFboard because your PC might not be able to keep up with the transfer rate
of the SB1000. To do this, it's probably best to download Franco's
sb1000-1.1.2.tar.gz archive and build and install sb1000.o manually. You'll
want to edit the 'Makefile' and look for the 'SB1000_DELAY'
define. Uncomment those 'CFLAGS' lines (and comment out the default ones)
and try setting the delay to something like 60 microseconds with:
'-DSB1000_DELAY=60'. Then do ``make`` and as root ``make install`` and try
it out. If it still doesn't work or you like playing with the driver, you may
try other numbers. Remember though that the higher the delay, the slower the
driver (which slows down the rest of the PC too when it is actively
used). Thanks to Ed Daiga for this tip!

Texas Instruments CPSW ethernet driver
======================================
Multiqueue & CBS & MQPRIO
=========================
The cpsw has 3 CBS shapers for each external ports. This document
describes MQPRIO and CBS Qdisc offload configuration for cpsw driver
based on examples. It potentially can be used in audio video bridging
(AVB) and time sensitive networking (TSN).
The following examples were tested on AM572x EVM and BBB boards.
Test setup
==========
Under consideration two examples with AM572x EVM running cpsw driver
in dual_emac mode.
Several prerequisites:
- TX queues must be rated starting from txq0 that has highest priority
- Traffic classes are used starting from 0, that has highest priority
- CBS shapers should be used with rated queues
- The bandwidth for CBS shapers has to be set a little bit more then
potential incoming rate, thus, rate of all incoming tx queues has
to be a little less
- Real rates can differ, due to discreetness
- Map skb-priority to txq is not enough, also skb-priority to l2 prio
map has to be created with ip or vconfig tool
- Any l2/socket prio (0 - 7) for classes can be used, but for
simplicity default values are used: 3 and 2
- only 2 classes tested: A and B, but checked and can work with more,
maximum allowed 4, but only for 3 rate can be set.
Test setup for examples

* Texas Instruments CPSW ethernet driver
Multiqueue & CBS & MQPRIO
=====================================================================
=====================================================================
The cpsw has 3 CBS shapers for each external ports. This document
describes MQPRIO and CBS Qdisc offload configuration for cpsw driver
based on examples. It potentially can be used in audio video bridging
(AVB) and time sensitive networking (TSN).
The following examples were tested on AM572x EVM and BBB boards.
Test setup
==========
Under consideration two examples with AM572x EVM running cpsw driver
in dual_emac mode.
Several prerequisites:
- TX queues must be rated starting from txq0 that has highest priority
- Traffic classes are used starting from 0, that has highest priority
- CBS shapers should be used with rated queues
- The bandwidth for CBS shapers has to be set a little bit more then
potential incoming rate, thus, rate of all incoming tx queues has
to be a little less
- Real rates can differ, due to discreetness
- Map skb-priority to txq is not enough, also skb-priority to l2 prio
map has to be created with ip or vconfig tool
- Any l2/socket prio (0 - 7) for classes can be used, but for
simplicity default values are used: 3 and 2
- only 2 classes tested: A and B, but checked and can work with more,
maximum allowed 4, but only for 3 rate can be set.

example:
example::
ether=0,0,0x1,0x7,eth0
ether=0,0,0x1,0x7,eth0
This sets aui to 0x1 and debug to 0x7, assuming eth0 is a
supported TLAN device.

Driver module autoloading
Make sure that "Kernel module loader" - module auto-loading
support is enabled in your kernel. The kernel should load it on
first access.
Manual loading
insert the module by hand:
modprobe tun

FreeBSD 3.x, 4.x, 5.x
Solaris 2.6, 7.0, 8.0
- Linux kernels 2.2.x, 2.4.x
- FreeBSD 3.x, 4.x, 5.x
- Solaris 2.6, 7.0, 8.0
2. What is TUN/TAP driver used for?
As mentioned above, main purpose of TUN/TAP driver is tunneling.
As mentioned above, main purpose of TUN/TAP driver is tunneling.
It is used by VTun (http://vtun.sourceforge.net).
Another interesting application using TUN/TAP is pipsecd
(http://perso.enst.fr/~beyssac/pipsec/), a userspace IPSec
implementation that can use complete kernel routing (unlike FreeS/WAN).

Ethernet device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical
media, receives them from user space program and instead of sending
packets via physical media sends them to the user space program.
Let's say that you configured IPv6 on the tap0, then whenever
the kernel sends an IPv6 packet to tap0, it is passed to the application
(VTun for example). The application encrypts, compresses and sends it to
(VTun for example). The application encrypts, compresses and sends it to
the other side over TCP or UDP. The application on the other side decompresses
and decrypts the data received and writes the packet to the TAP device,
and decrypts the data received and writes the packet to the TAP device,
the kernel handles the packet like it came from real physical device.
4. What is the difference between TUN driver and TAP driver?
TUN works with IP frames. TAP works with Ethernet frames.
This means that you have to read/write IP packets when you are using tun and
ethernet frames when using tap.
5. What is the difference between BPF and TUN/TAP driver?
BPF is an advanced packet filter. It can be attached to existing
network interface. It does not provide a virtual network interface.
A TUN/TAP driver does provide a virtual network interface and it is possible
to attach BPF to this interface.
6. Does TAP driver support kernel Ethernet bridging?
Yes. Linux and FreeBSD drivers support Ethernet bridging.
