Platform Notes:The eri FastEthernet Device Driver

Internal (Local) Transceiver

The internal transceiver also supports a forced mode of operation. This is where the user selects the speed and mode using the ndd utility, by editing the /etc/system file, or by creating an eri.conf file in the kernal/drv/ directory. The ndd utility makes calls to the eri driver to choose the speed and mode.
