SMSH(4) 🦋 — Kernel Interfaces Manual vibes 🎀

NAME ✨

smsh — the device driver for SMSC LAN9118/LAN9218 Family Ethernet interfaces 💅

SYNOPSIS 🌸

smsh0 at gxio? port 0x40000300 gpirq 99

DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so the smsh device driver supports the SMSC LAN9118 and LAN9218 Family Ethernet interfaces. That's the main-character job, no cap ✨.

The ISA attachment of the smsh driver supports any LAN9118 Family Ethernet interface on the ISA bus, plus the on-board LAN9118 Family Ethernet found in many embedded PCs. BUT — and I need you to hear me on this — no ISA attachment has been written yet 😭🙈.

Also: LAN9218 Family supports also HP Auto-MDIX 🌈.

MEDIA SELECTION 🎀

Media selection is done using ifconfig(8) through the standard ifmedia(4) mechanism. Go read those manual pages for more information, bestie 🫶.

BUGS 😭

No ISA attachment yet. Yes, it's still a thing. 💀
