FMV(4)

📦 version 11.0, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 FMV — the Fujitsu FMV-18x Ethernet cards device driver, bestie ✨

Okay so picture this: it's the fmv manual page, living in section 4 (kernel interfaces manual, iykyk), and it's literally all about a driver for those adorable little Fujitsu FMV-18x ISA network cards. Yes, ISA. We're going vintage, we're going iconic, we're going slay. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

The whole vibe in two lines, no cap:

fmv0 at isa? port 0x2a0 irq ?
fmv* at isapnp?

That's it, that's the config. port 0x2a0, irq ? — the question mark is doing main character energy and letting the kernel figure out the interrupt. 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So the fmv driver is the one that holds it down for the Fujitsu FMV-18x ISA network adapters — the ones built on the Fujitsu MB86964/MB86965A Ethernet controllers. That's the chipset lore, remember it for the quiz. ✨

The supported boards are, in list form because we're organized girlies:

  • Fujitsu FMV-181 ISA Ethernet
  • Fujitsu FMV-181A ISA Ethernet
  • Fujitsu FMV-182 ISA Ethernet
  • Fujitsu FMV-182A ISA Ethernet
  • Fujitsu FMV-183 ISA-PnP Ethernet
🚨 Important plot twist: for the Fujitsu FMV-186/186A/188 PCI Ethernet adapters, you do not use this driver — you use fxp(4) instead. Different era, different driver, don't mix them up bestie, it's giving "wrong group chat". 💀

🦋 HISTORY 🦋

The fmv driver appeared in NetBSD 1.4. Ancient. Iconic. Respect the elders. 🫶

Okay that's the whole page and yes it was a lot of ISA nostalgia 💅 ngl this one is short but it ate.

This little beauty is from the Debian fam, dated October 5, 2002, and it goes by FMV(4) — so go forth and configure your vintage Ethernet, bestie, you've got this 🍓💜✨
