This document describes the usage and errata of the 3Com "Vortex" device
driver for Linux.
This driver supports the following hardware:
3c590, 3c592, 3c595, 3c597
When loaded as a module the following variables may be set:
name type description
debug int The debug message level, 0 (no messages) to 6 (wordy).
options int[] The media type override and card operation settings
(See list below.)
An example of loading the vortex module is
insmod 3c59x.o debug=1 options=0,,12
This sets the debug message level to minimal messages, sets the first card to
the 10baseT transceiver, the second to the EEPROM-set transceiver, and the
third card to operate in full-duplex mode using its 100baseTx transceiver.
(Note: card ordering is set by the PCI BIOS.)
Possible media type settings
0 10baseT
1 10Mbs AUI
2 undefined
3 10base2 (BNC)
4 100base-TX
5 100base-FX
6 MII (not yet available)
7 <Use default setting>
8 Full-duplex bit
8 10baseT full-duplex
12 100baseTx full-duplex
16 Bus-master enable bit (experimental use only!)
Details of the device driver implementation are at the top of the source file.
