                     23: il \- Interlan NI1010 10 Mb/s Ethernet interface
                     24: .SH SYNOPSIS
                     25: .B "device il0 at uba0 csr 164000 vector ilrint ilcint"
                     26: .SH DESCRIPTION
                     27: The
                     28: .I il
                     29: interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network through
                     30: an Interlan 1010 or 1010A controller.
                     31: .PP
                     32: Each of the host's network addresses
                     33: is specified at boot time with an SIOCSIFADDR
                     34: ioctl.  The
                     35: .I il
                     36: interface employs the address resolution protocol described in
                     37: .IR arp (4)
                     38: to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
                     39: network.
                     40: .PP
                     41: The interface normally tries to use a ``trailer'' encapsulation
                     42: to minimize copying data on input and output.
                     43: The use of trailers is negotiated with ARP.
                     44: This negotiation may be disabled, on a per-interface basis,
                     45: by setting the IFF_NOTRAILERS
                     46: flag with an SIOCSIFFLAGS ioctl.
                     47: .SH DIAGNOSTICS
                     48: \fBil%d: input error\fP.  The hardware indicated an error
                     49: in reading a packet off the cable or an illegally sized packet.
                     50: .PP
                     51: \fBil%d: can't handle af%d\fP.  The interface was handed
                     52: a message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address
                     53: family; the packet was dropped.
                     54: .PP
                     55: \fBil%d: setaddr didn't work\fP.  The interface was unable to reprogram
                     56: its physical ethernet address.
                     57: This may happen with very early models of the interface.
                     58: This facility is used only when
                     59: the controller is not the first network interface configured for XNS.
                     60: The oldest interface tested (2.7.1.0.1.45) has never failed in this way.
                     61: .PP
                     62: The following messages indicate a probable hardware error performing
                     63: the indicated operation during autoconfiguration or initialization.
                     64: The status field in the control and status register (the low-order four bits)
                     65: should indicate the nature of the failure.
                     66: See the hardware manual for details.
                     67: .PP
                     68: \fBil%d: reset failed, csr=%b\fP.
                     69: .PP
                     70: \fBil%d: status failed, csr=%b\fP.

                     78: \fBil%d: can't initialize\fP.
