.SH NAME
vr \- driver for VIA Rhine fast Ethernet controllers
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBvr\fR Fast Ethernet driver is GLD based and supporting the VIA Rhine
family of Fast Ethernet adapters:

The \fBvr\fR driver supports IEEE 802.3 auto-negotiation, flow control and VLAN
tagging.
.SS "Configuration"
.sp
.LP
The default configuration is \fBautonegotiation\fR with bidirectional flow
control. The advertised capabilities for \fBautonegotiation\fR are based on the
capabilities of the PHY.
.sp
.LP
You can set the capabilities advertised by the \fBvr\fR controlled device using
\fBdladm\fR(1M). The driver supports a number of parameters, the names of which
begin with \fBen_\fR (enabled). Each of these boolean parameters determines if
the device advertises that mode of operation when the hardware supports it.
.sp
.LP
The \fBadv_autoneg_cap\fR parameter controls whether auto-negotiation is
performed. If \fBadv_autoneg_cap\fR is 0, the driver selects the speed/duplex
combination from the first non-zero parameter from this list:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
en_100fdx_cap     100Mpbs full duplex
en_100hdx_cap     100Mpbs half duplex
en_10fdx_cap      10Mpbs full duplex
en_10hdx_cap      10Mpbs half duplex
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.sp
.LP
All capabilities default to enabled. Changing any capability parameter causes
the link to go down while the link partners renegotiate the link using the
newly changed capabilities.
.SS "Limitations"
.sp
.LP
The \fBvr\fR driver does not support asymmetric \fBflowcontrol\fR. VT86C100A
and Rhine II adapters are not capable of transmitting \fBflowcontrol\fR
messages
