✨ mtd(4) — Kernel Interfaces Manual ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the mtd(4) page from the Kernel Interfaces Manual — we're talking about an Ethernet driver and I promise it's less chaotic than it sounds. 💅

💖 NAME 💖

mtd — the driver for the Myson Technologies MTD803 3-in-1 Fast Ethernet board. That's the whole vibe: it's a driver, it's for that board, periodt. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

mtd* at pci?

yep, that's the whole synopsis, no cap. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so the mtd device driver supports the MTD803 PCI Ethernet chip. Iconic. 🔥

Supported models include:

  • Safeway Lancard SW-10/100 PCI (model 117204). Please note: some cards sold under this name are supported by rtk(4) instead. So don't come for mtd if your card is actually an rtk(4) girlie. 👀

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

🎀 HISTORY 🎀

The mtd driver appeared in NetBSD 2.0. A whole era. ⭐

💀 BUGS 💀

Okay, listen: this driver has not been tested on any architecture besides i386. That's real. It does not handle DMA cache flushes at all, so it will very likely not work on other architectures that require this. Not a drill. 😭

Power management is missing. Yep, missing missing. 🙈

A CardBus variant is rumored to exist, but support for it has not been added to the driver yet. So it's giving rumor, not support. 🦋

okay that's the page bestie 💖 source/version: Debian; date: November 8, 2002; page tag: MTD(4). slay and stay safe. 🌈
