LANCE

 

NAME

LANCE (Scout in-kernel lance ethernet driver)

SYNOPSIS

LANCE is a Scout in-kernel ethernet driver. It is based on the LANCE driver for the Mach 3 kernel.

Each instantiation of LANCE is associated with a single ethernet device.

REALM

LANCE is in the ASYNC realm, supporting the ethernet driver interface described in the ETH appendix.

PARTICIPANTS

LANCE supports the ethernet driver interface rather than a standard xkernel UPI interface and thus makes no use of participant stacks.

EXTERNAL INTERFACE

LANCE supports the ethernet driver interface described in the ETH appendix.

CONFIGURATION

LANCE requires no lower protocol. The instance name should correspond to the name of the device controlled by that particular instantiation. E.g.,

name=lance/ln0;

for lance device ln0.
