NAME

satalink — Silicon Image SATALink disk controller driver

SYNOPSIS

satalink* at pci? dev ? function ? flags 0x0000

DESCRIPTION

The satalink driver supports the Silicon Image SATALink 3112 2-port and 3114 4-port Serial ATA controllers, and provides the interface with the hardware for the ata(4) driver.

The 0x0002 flag forces the satalink driver to disable DMA on chipsets for which DMA would normally be enabled. This can be used as a debugging aid, or to work around problems where the SATA controller is wired up to the system incorrectly.
