.Sh NAME

|
.Nm ec
|
|
.Nd device driver for 3Com Etherlink II (3c503) Ethernet cards
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "ec0 at isa? port 0x250 iomem 0xd8000 irq 9"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device driver supports 3Com Etherlink II (3c503) Ethernet cards.
|
|
.Sh MEDIA SELECTION
|
|
The Etherlink II supports two media types on a single card. All support
|
|
the AUI media type. The other media is either BNC or UTP behind a
|
|
transciever. Software cannot differentiate between BNC and UTP cards.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To enable the AUI media, select the
|
|
.Em 10base5
|
|
or
|
|
.Em aui
|
|
media type with
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8 's
|
|
.Sq media
|
|
directive. To select the other media (BNC or UTP), select the
|
|
.Em 10base2
|
|
or
|
|
.Em bnc
|
|
media type.
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.Bl -diag
|
|
.It "ec0: wildcarded IRQ is not allowed"
|
|
The IRQ was wildcarded in the kernel configuration file. This is not
|
|
supported.
|
|
.It "ec0: invalid IRQ <n>, must be 3, 4, 5, or 9"
|
|
An IRQ other than the above listed IRQs was specified in the kernel
|
|
configuration file. The Etherlink II hardware only supports the
|
|
above listed IRQs.
|
|
.It "ec0: failed to clear shared memory at offset <off>"
|
|
The memory test was unable to clear shared the interface's shared memory
|
|
region. This often indicates that the card is configured at a conflicting
|
|
.Em iomem
|
|
address.
