Linux device driver for Motorcomm Ethernet controllers

This is the Linux device driver released for Motorcomm YT6801 Gigabit
Ethernet controllers with PCI-Express interface.

Requirements

- Kernel source tree (supported Linux kernel 4.19 and latter.)
- Compiler/binutils for kernel compilation

Quick install with proper kernel settings

make dir :
	mkdir yt6801

Unpack the zip file :
	# unzip yt6801-linux-driver-1.0.27.zip -d yt6801

Change to the directory:
	# cd yt6801

If you are running the target kernel, then you should be able to do :

	# ./yt_nic_install.sh	(as root or with sudo)

You can check whether the driver is loaded by using following commands.

	# lsmod | grep yt6801
	# ifconfig -a

If there is a device name, ethX, shown on the monitor, the linux
driver is loaded. Then, you can use the following command to activate
the ethX.

	# ifconfig ethX up

	,where X=0,1,2,...

Set the network related information

1. Set manually
	a. Set the IP address of your machine.

		# ifconfig ethX "the IP address of your machine"

	b. Set the IP address of DNS.

	   Insert the following configuration in /etc/resolv.conf.

		nameserver "the IP address of DNS"

	c. Set the IP address of gateway.

		# route add default gw "the IP address of gateway"

2. Set by doing configurations in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
   /ifcfg-ethX for Redhat and Fedora, or /etc/sysconfig/network
   /ifcfg-ethX for SuSE. There are two examples to set network
   configurations.

	a. Fixed IP address:
		DEVICE=eth0
		BOOTPROTO=static
		ONBOOT=yes
		TYPE=ethernet
		NETMASK=255.255.255.0
		IPADDR=192.168.1.1
		GATEWAY=192.168.1.254
		BROADCAST=192.168.1.255

	b. DHCP:
		DEVICE=eth0
		BOOTPROTO=dhcp
		ONBOOT=yes

Modify the MAC address

There are two ways to modify the MAC address of the NIC.
1. Use ifconfig:

	# ifconfig ethX hw ether YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY

   ,where X is the device number assigned by Linux kernel, and
	  YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY is the MAC address assigned by the user.

2. Use ip:

	# ip link set ethX address YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY

   ,where X is the device number assigned by Linux kernel, and
	  YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY is the MAC address assigned by the user.

Force Link Status

Force the link status by using ethtool.
	a. Insert the driver first.
	b. Make sure that ethtool exists in /sbin.
	c. Force the link status as the following command.

		# ethtool -s ethX speed SPEED_MODE duplex DUPLEX_MODE autoneg NWAY_OPTION

		,where
			SPEED_MODE	= 1000	for 1000Mbps
					= 100	for 100Mbps
					= 10	for 10Mbps
			DUPLEX_MODE	= half	for half-duplex
					= full	for full-duplex
			NWAY_OPTION	= off	for auto-negotiation off (true force)
					= on	for auto-negotiation on (nway force)

	For example:

		# ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg on

	will force PHY to operate in 100Mpbs Full-duplex(nway force).

Jumbo Frame

Transmitting Jumbo Frames, whose packet size is bigger than 1500 bytes, please change mtu by the following command.

# ifconfig ethX mtu MTU

, where X=0,1,2,..., and MTU is configured by user.

YT6801 supports Jumbo Frame size up to 9 kBytes.
