Required Entry Points

mc_getstat(9E)

Retrieve network statistics from the driver. See GLDv3 Network Statistics.

mc_start(9E)

Start a driver instance. The GLDv3 framework invokes the start entry point before any operation is attempted. 

mc_stop(9E)

Stop a driver instance. The MAC layer invokes the stop entry point before the device is detached. 

mc_setpromisc(9E)

Change the promiscuous mode of the device driver instance. 

mc_multicst(9E)

Add or remove a multicast address. 

mc_unicst(9E)

Set the primary unicast address. The device must start passing back through mac_rx() the packets with a destination MAC address that matches the new unicast address. See Receive Data Path for information about mac_rx().

mc_tx(9E)

Send one or more packets. See Transmit Data Path.

Optional Entry Points

mc_ioctl(9E)

Optional ioctl driver interface. This facility is intended to be used only for debugging purposes. 

mc_getcapab(9E)

Retrieve capabilities. See GLDv3 Capabilities.

mc_setprop(9E)

Set a property value. See GLDv3 Properties.

mc_getprop(9E)

Get a property value. See GLDv3 Properties.

mc_propinfo(9E)

Get information about a property. See GLDv3 Properties.

Data Structures

mac_register(9S)

Registration information. See GLDv3 MAC Registration Data Structures.

mac_callbacks(9S)

Driver callbacks. See GLDv3 MAC Registration Data Structures.

mac_capab_lso(9S)

LSO metadata. See Large Segment (or Send) Offload.

lso_basic_tcp_ipv4(9S)

LSO metadata for TCP/IPv4. See Large Segment (or Send) Offload.

MAC Registration Functions

mac_alloc(9F)

Allocate a new mac_register structure. See GLDv3 MAC Registration.

mac_free(9F)

Free a mac_register structure.

mac_register(9F)

Register with the MAC layer. 

mac_unregister(9F)

Unregister from the MAC layer. 

mac_init_ops(9F)

Initialize the driver's dev_ops(9S) structure.

mac_fini_ops(9F)

Release the driver's dev_ops structure.

Data Transfer Functions

mac_rx(9F)

Pass up received packets. See Receive Data Path.

mac_tx_update(9F)

TX resources are available. See GLDv3 State Change Notifications.

mac_link_update(9F)

Link state has changed. 

mac_hcksum_get(9F)

Retrieve hardware checksum information. See Hardware Checksum Offload and Transmit Data Path.

mac_hcksum_set(9F)

Attach hardware checksum information. See Hardware Checksum Offload and Receive Data Path.

mac_lso_get(9F)

Retrieve LSO information. See Large Segment (or Send) Offload.

Properties Functions

mac_prop_info_set_perm(9F)

Set the permission of a property. See GLDv3 Properties.

mac_prop_info_set_default_uint8(9F), mac_prop_info_set_default_str(9F), mac_prop_info_set_default_link_flowctrl(9F)

Set a property value. 

mac_prop_info_set_range_uint32(9F)

Set a property values range.
