Marvell Yukon Ethernet Adapter
This file contains
The mrvl ODI driver supports the Marvell Yukon Ethernet Adapter
on SCO OpenServer 5.0.7.
For proper software installation the following package file is required:
yukonos5.tar .
In the text below the expression <package file> refers to this file.
Driver packages downloaded from our web site may be available in a
compressed format (.Z files). The downloaded package has to be uncompressed
before installation.
To uncompress the downloaded driver package, proceed as follows:
1. Go to the directory where the compressed driver package yukonos5.tar.Z
is located.
2. Uncompress the file with the following command:
uncompress yukonos5.tar.Z
3. You will get a tar - file.
Untar the file: tar -xvf yukonos5.tar.
4. You will get an installable volume file e.g.: VOL.000.000
Move this volume file to the target directory that you want to install from.
5. IMPORTANT: If the target machine supports multiple CPUs and your OS needs to
be configured for synchronous multiprocessing (including Hyper-Threading on
Intel CPUs) you must have installed the following software packages for
OpenServer release 5.0.7:

Manager' folder. Alternatively you can also run the command 'scoadmin network'
from the console.
2. Select the network device driver from the list of devices and click on the
item 'Remove network device' in the 'Hardware' menu.
3. You will be prompted for removal of the network device driver.
Confirm the removal by clicking on the 'Yes' button otherwise click on the
'No' button to abort the operation.
4. The removal of the device driver will be indicated in a separate message window.
Click on the 'Ok' button.
5. Upon exiting the 'Network Configuration Manager' the system prompts for
rebuilding the kernel. You should confirm building a new kernel by clicking on
the 'Yes' button.
After building the kernel please answer the following two questions with 'y'
(yes) to activate the network device driver.
a) Do you want this kernel to boot by default ? (y/n)
b) Do you want the kernel environment rebuilt ? (y/n)
Press enter to continue.
6. When rebuilding the kernel has finished you should reboot the system.
Parameters can be set by means of the "Network Configuration Manager".
There are two possibilities to set the paramters:
- during the installation of the driver, or
- after the installation by selecting "Hardware->Modify Hardware
Configuration" and the <Advanced> button.
NOTE: Once a parameter has been reconfigured for an existing network device
the kernel must be rebuild and the system must be rebooted for the changes
to take effect.
- Alternate MAC Address
Change the adapter's current receive address or use 'default' for the built
in factory address. A valid MAC address consists of the following hexadecimal
format: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Default: default
By default the network adapter's burnt-in factory address is used as the
station's current network address, which represents the receive address for
the protocol data.
- TX queue size (KBytes)
- RX queue size (KBytes)
These both parameters define the transmit and receive queue size in kilo
bytes. Large queue sizes may be used if data bursts from / to the network
may overrrun the receive / transmit capacity of the driver. Transmit and
receive queues buffer outgoing and incoming data.
Values : 1 2 3
Default: 2
- Duplex Capabilities
Specify the duplex capabilities of the physical port.
Values : both, full, half
Default: both
The duplex capabilities define the link mode of the media access connector
of the physical port. Possible values are: both, full, and half.
Also refer to the parameter "Auto-Negotiation" that allows the following
combinations of settings:
- Auto Negotation: on Duplex Capabilities: both
This combination forces the port to start the auto-negotiation
process with the best result of full-duplex or half-duplex.
- Auto Negotation: on Duplex Capabilities: full
This combination forces the port to start the auto-negotiation
process with the result of full-duplex operation mode only.
- Auto Negotation: on Duplex Capabilities: half
This combination forces the port to start the auto-negotiation
process with the result of half-duplex operation mode only.
- Auto Negotation: off Duplex Capabilities: both
This combination is not valid and causes the driver to start the
auto-negotiation process with the best result of full-duplex or
half-duplex.
- Auto Negotation: off Duplex Capabilities: full
If this operation mode is specified, the corresponding MAC is forced
to work in full-duplex mode only. If the remote MAC does not support
full-duplex mode the link will fail.
In full-duplex mode there is no need for the Transmit Media Access
Management to avoid contention with other traffic on the medium. The
frame transmission may be initiated after the interframe delay
regardless of the presence of any receive activity. In full-duplex
mode the MAC sublayer does not perform carrier extension or frame
bursting.
- Auto Negotation: off Duplex Capabilities: half
If this operation mode is specified, the corresponding MAC is forced
to work in half-duplex mode only. In half-duplex mode the Transmit
Media Access Management attempts to avoid contention with any other
traffic on the medium by monitoring the carrier sense signal
provided by the Physical Layer Signaling (PLS) component and
deferring to passing traffic.
- Auto Negotation: sense Duplex Capabilities: <any value>
If the auto-negotation parameter is set to `sense` any value of
Duplex Capabilities is ignored. In this operation mode the
corresponding MAC will check the carrier for the best possible mode.
This depends on the capabilities of other stations in the network.
- Auto-Negotiation
Values : sense, on, off.
Default: on
Auto-negotiation is the capability to detect the modes of operation
supported by the device at the other end of a link segment, to determine
common abilities, and to configure the network adapter for joint
operation.
- Flow Control Mode
Values : Sym, SymOrRem, LocSend, None
Default: SymOrRem
This parameter can be used to set the flow control capabilities that the
port reports during auto-negotiation.
The following modes are possible:
- Sym (Symmetric) both link partners are allowed to send PAUSE frames.
- SymOrRem (SymmetricOrRemote) both or only remote partner are allowed
to send PAUSE frames.
- LocSend (LocalSend) only local link partner is allowed to send PAUSE
frames.
- None: no link partner is allowed to send PAUSE frames.
NOTE: This parameter is ignored if auto-negotiation is set to Off.
- Master/Slave mode
Set Role in Master-Slave-Negotiation (1000Base-T only).
Values : auto, master, slave
Default: auto
This parameter is only valid for copper adapters. For two 1000Base-T ports
to communicate, one must take the role as master (providing timing
information), while the other must be slave. Usually, this is negotiated
between the two ports during link establishment. If this fails, a port
can be forced to a specific setting with this parameter.
- Speed
Specify the link speed of the corresponding port. This parameter is only
valid for copper adapters.
Values : auto,10,100,1000
Default: auto
