CX(4)                FreeBSD/i386 Kernel Interfaces Manual               CX(4)

NAME
     cx -- driver for synchronous/asynchronous Cronyx Sigma WAN adapters

SYNOPSIS
     device cx0 at isa? port 0x240 irq 5 drq 7
     or
     device cx
     for autodetection.

     Additional options:
     device sppp
     options NETGRAPH
     options NETGRAPH_CRONYX

DESCRIPTION
     The cx driver needs either sppp(4) or netgraph(4).  Which one to use is
     determined by the NETGRAPH_CRONYX option.  If this option is present in
     your kernel configuration file, the cx driver will be compiled with
     netgraph(4) support.  Otherwise, it will be compiled with sppp(4) sup-
     port.

     The base I/O port address specified in /sys/i386/conf/_YOUR_KERN_CONF_
     must match the port address set by the jumpers on the board.  The DMA I/O
     channel and interrupt request numbers are configured by software at
     adapter initialization.  Legal values are:

     Port:  0x240, 0x260, 0x280, 0x300, 0x320, 0x380
     IRQ:   3, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 15
     DMA:   5, 6, 7

     The cx driver supports autodetection.  As for all non-PNP hardware, using
     autodetection could lead to some potential problems with other devices
     during the hardware detection process.  It is always better to specify
     hardware resources manually.

     Refer to sconfig(8) for information about the cx adapter configuration.

HISTORY
     The cx driver was updated in FreeBSD 5.2 and FreeBSD 4.10.  In most of
     the previous versions of FreeBSD the cx driver is out of date.  The cx
     driver for previous versions of FreeBSD is available from
     http://www.cronyx.ru/.

FreeBSD 4.10                   November 27, 2003                  FreeBSD 4.10
