Axnet_cs is a driver for PCMCIA ethernet cards based on the Asix
AX88190 chipset. These cards are mostly NE2000 compatible but have
several bugs that are sufficiently tricky to work around that a
separate driver was deemed necessary. When this driver is bound to a
card, it allocates the next available ethernet device
This
device name will be reported in the kernel log file, and passed on to
cardmgr(8) .
PARAMETERS
pc_debug= n
Selects the PCMCIA debugging level. This parameter is only available
if the module is compiled with debugging enabled. A non-zero value
enables debugging.
irq_list= i,j,...
Specifies the set of interrupts that may be allocated by this driver.
DIAGNOSTICS
axnet_cs: this is not an AX88190 card!
Indicates that this card is probably a normal NE2000 compatible card,
which requires the pcnet_cs driver.
eth#: interrupt(s) dropped!
Indicates that the driver did not receive an interrupt notification
for some reason. The driver will poll the card (with a significant
performance penalty) if the problem persists. The most likely cause
is an interrupt conflict and/or host bridge configuration problem.
