| Text File for the COPS LocalTalk Linux driver (cops.c). | |
| By Jay Schulist <jschlst@samba.org> | |
| This driver has two modes and they are: Dayna mode and Tangent mode. | |
| Each mode corresponds with the type of card. It has been found | |
| that there are 2 main types of cards and all other cards are | |
| the same and just have different names or only have minor differences | |
| such as more IO ports. As this driver is tested it will | |
| become more clear exactly what cards are supported. | |
| Right now these cards are known to work with the COPS driver. The | |
| LT-200 cards work in a somewhat more limited capacity than the | |
| DL200 cards, which work very well and are in use by many people. | |
| TANGENT driver mode: | |
| Tangent ATB-II, Novell NL-1000, Daystar Digital LT-200 | |
| DAYNA driver mode: | |
| Dayna DL2000/DaynaTalk PC (Half Length), COPS LT-95, | |
| Farallon PhoneNET PC III, Farallon PhoneNET PC II | |
| Other cards possibly supported mode unknown though: | |
| Dayna DL2000 (Full length) | |
| The COPS driver defaults to using Dayna mode. To change the driver's | |
| mode if you built a driver with dual support use board_type=1 or | |
| board_type=2 for Dayna or Tangent with insmod. | |
| ** Operation/loading of the driver. | |
| Use modprobe like this: /sbin/modprobe cops.o (IO #) (IRQ #) | |
| If you do not specify any options the driver will try and use the IO = 0x240, | |
| IRQ = 5. As of right now I would only use IRQ 5 for the card, if autoprobing. | |
| To load multiple COPS driver Localtalk cards you can do one of the following. | |
| insmod cops io=0x240 irq=5 | |
| insmod -o cops2 cops io=0x260 irq=3 | |
| Or in lilo.conf put something like this: | |
| append="ether=5,0x240,lt0 ether=3,0x260,lt1" | |
| Then bring up the interface with ifconfig. It will look something like this: | |
| lt0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-F7-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 | |
| inet addr:192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 | |
| UP BROADCAST RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:600 Metric:1 | |
| RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 | |
| TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 coll:0 | |
| ** Netatalk Configuration | |
| You will need to configure atalkd with something like the following to make | |
| it work with the cops.c driver. | |
| * For single LTalk card use. | |
| dummy -seed -phase 2 -net 2000 -addr 2000.10 -zone "1033" | |
| lt0 -seed -phase 1 -net 1000 -addr 1000.50 -zone "1033" | |
| * For multiple cards, Ethernet and LocalTalk. | |
| eth0 -seed -phase 2 -net 3000 -addr 3000.20 -zone "1033" | |
| lt0 -seed -phase 1 -net 1000 -addr 1000.50 -zone "1033" | |
| * For multiple LocalTalk cards, and an Ethernet card. | |
| * Order seems to matter here, Ethernet last. | |
| lt0 -seed -phase 1 -net 1000 -addr 1000.10 -zone "LocalTalk1" | |
| lt1 -seed -phase 1 -net 2000 -addr 2000.20 -zone "LocalTalk2" | |
| eth0 -seed -phase 2 -net 3000 -addr 3000.30 -zone "EtherTalk" |
