.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interface provides access to the 10 Mb/s
|
|
.Tn Ethernet
|
|
network via the
|
|
.Tn AMD
|
|
Am7990
|
|
Local Area Network Controller for Ethernet
|
|
.Pq Tn LANCE
|
|
chip set.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each of the host's network addresses
|
|
is specified at boot time with an
|
|
.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
|
|
.Xr ioctl .
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interface employs the address resolution protocol described in
|
|
.Xr arp 4
|
|
to dynamically map between Internet and
|
|
.Tn Ethernet
|
|
addresses on the local
|
|
network.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Interfaces attached to an
|
|
.Sy ledma0
|
|
typically have have two types of connectors:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -offset indent -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
|
|
.It AUI/DIX
|
|
Standard 15 pin connector
|
|
.It 10BaseT
|
|
UTP, also known as twisted pair
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The appropriate connector can be selected by supplying a
|
|
.Cm media
|
|
parameter to
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8 .
|
|
The supported arguments for
|
|
.Cm media
|
|
are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -offset indent -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
|
|
.It Sy 10base5/AUI
|
|
to select the AUI connector, or
|
|
.It Sy 10baseT/UTP
|
|
to select the UTP connector.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If a
|
|
.Cm media
|
|
parameter is not specified, a default connector is selected for
|
|
use by examining all media types for carrier.
|
|
The first connector on which a carrier is detected will be selected.
|
|
Additionally, if carrier is dropped on a port, the driver will switch between
|
|
the possible ports until one with carrier is found.
