RxPause/TxPause

NOTE: 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) full-duplex fixed speed is only valid for fiber connections. For copper, twisted-pair connections, 1 Gbps can only be set through auto-negotiation with a 1 Gbps partner.

NOTE: Auto-negotiation of Flow Control is only valid when the Line Speed is set to AutoNegotiate.

NOTE: A kernel relink and reboot is required before the new configuration will take effect.

For more detailed information and tuning parameters, at the command prompt enter:

man bcme

Jumbo Frames and other advanced parameters

Jumbo MTU sizes and other advanced, tunable parameters for the controller are located in the file space.c in the directory /etc/conf/pack.d/bcme. A description for each parameter is contained in space.c. Modify the desired parameter in space.c, rebuild the kernel, and reboot the system. The MTU sizes can be individually set for each adapter in the system (Jumbo Frames is not supported on the NC1020). All other parameters apply globally to all adapters.

UnixWare 7.x and OpenServer 6.x

The following procedure describes the installation of the UnixWare driver. The driver is released as a PKG file.

Installing the driver locally

1.Copy the file bcme-<version>.pkg to a UnixWare 7.x system.

2.Enter the following command: pkgadd -d <path><filename> where <path> is the directory to which the PKG file was copied.

Creating a diskette

1.Copy the file bcme-<version>.pkg to a Caldera system.

2.Create a diskette using the following command: dd if=bcme-<version>.pkg of=/dev/fd0

Installing the driver from a diskette

1.Use pkgadd -d diskette1 to install the bcme package.

2.Use netcfg or scoadmin network to add the new network adapter.

3.When prompted, select the Line Speed and then select Advanced Option for Flow Control, MAC Address, and Jumbo MTU Size settings, if desired. The settings for these parameters are listed below:

oLine Speed

Auto Negotiation (default) 10 Mbps half-duplex
