1.1       root        1: ttnn -- Device Driver
                      2: 
                      3: 
                      4: /ddeevv/ttnn* provides  access to an  ARCNET local area  network via a  Tiac 236
                      5: card,  Tiac 238  card or  equivalent (e.g., Pure  Data ARCNET  card).  Each
                      6: entry  is  assigned major  device  number  20, and  may  be  accessed as  a
                      7: character-special device.
                      8: 
                      9: The ttnn driver supports up to four ARCNET cards in a single computer.  Minor
                     10: devices 0, 1, 2, and 3 refer to each card.  For a card to work properly, it
                     11: must  have a  unique interrupt,  64-kilobyte memory  bank, and  port number
                     12: assigned to it.  The driver must  also be configured to the same interrupt,
                     13: memory bank, and port number.  You can use the command /ccoonnff/ppaattcchh to build
                     14: a properly configured version of the kernel; see the Lexicon article hhss for
                     15: sample  commands.   If  loadable  device  drivers  are  used  they  may  be
                     16: configured in the identical fashion.
                     17: 
                     18: For an interface  to be accessible from the COHERENT  system, a device file
                     19: must  be present  in directory  /ddeevv with the  appropriate type,  major and
                     20: minor device  numbers, and permissions.   You can use the  command mmkknnoodd to
                     21: creates a special file for a device, as follows:
                     22: 
                     23: /eettcc/mmkknnoodd /ddeevv/ttnn00  cc 2200   00
                     24: /eettcc/mmkknnoodd /ddeevv/ttnn11  cc 2200   11
                     25: 
                     26: It is  usual to have a  generic LAN interface /ddeevv/ttnn.   This is associated
                     27: with a particular LAN card by the following command:
                     28: 
                     29: /bbiinn/llnn -ff /ddeevv/ttnn00  /ddeevv/ttnn
                     30: 
                     31: This device  driver provides  a raw interface  to the LAN.   To communicate
                     32: with other computers  on the network, it is normally  necessary to add some
                     33: higher level protocol (e.g., XNS or TCP/IP).
                     34: 
                     35: _F_i_l_e_s
                     36: /ddeevv/ttnn* -- LAN network access special file
                     37: /ddeevv/ttnn -- Default LAN
                     38: 
                     39: _S_e_e _A_l_s_o
                     40: ddeevviiccee ddrriivveerrss, llnn, mmkknnoodd
                     41: 
                     42: _N_o_t_e_s
                     43: As  delivered, the  LAN driver  supports  one card  with interrupt  2, port
                     44: 0x2E0, and bank 0xD000.
