Driver for Xpeed Inc. PCI network cards --------------------------------------- The following cards are supported with this driver: Xpeed X200 IDSL NIC (http://www.xpeed.com/Products/x200/x200_c.html) Xpeed X300 SDSL NIC (http://www.xpeed.com/Products/x300/x300_c.html) This driver handles frame relay encapsulation of WAN link and presents the card to the kernel as an ethernet-like device called dsl0, dsl1, etc. The driver supports up to 6 cards and supports operation in either RFC1490 frame relay or bridged ethernet modes. Note that when operating in RFC1490 frame relay mode, "ifconfig -arp" (no ARP) should be used. =============================== NOTE ==================================== You will NEED to use the xpds-config utility to configure the link speed, change LT/NT mode, change swap/invert parameters, and reflash the adapter firmware. This utility and other support files can be downloaded at ftp://ftp.xpeed.com/pub/linux/ =============================== NOTE ==================================== The driver accepts the following parameters when compiled as a module: xpds_default_dlci Defines the DLCI to be used for the local interface. Default is 16. xpds_default_dlci_cr A special mask value to be used when speaking with certain buggy vendor equipment. Can be 0 or 2. Default is 0. xpds_default_dlci_lmi Defines how the card will perform LMI protocol negotiation. Valid values are: 0 No LMI will be used. 1 LMI will operate in LT (Line Termination) mode. 2 LMI will operate in NT (Network Termination) mode. 3 LMI will operation in bidirectional NT mode. -1 Attempt to autoconfigure LMI mode. (Default) xpds_default_bridged Defines whether the card will operate in RFC1490 frame relay or bridged ethernet mode. Default is 0, RFC1490 frame relay mode. Typical usage for a connection in RFC1490 frame relay mode: # modprobe xpds-fr # ifconfig dsl0 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255 -arp Typical usage for a connection in bridged ethernet mode: # modprobe xpds-fr xpds_default_bridged=1 # ifconfig dsl0 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255
