.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm ep
|
|
.Nd Ethernet driver for 3Com Etherlink III (3c5x9)
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
device ep0 at isa? port 0x350 net irq 5 vector epintr
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
Configuration information for the
|
|
.Nm ep
|
|
device driver.
|
|
|
|
3c5x9 cards have various combinations of connectors on them including:
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
.in +9
|
|
AUI/DIX
|
|
10Base2 (BNC)
|
|
10BaseT (UTP)
|
|
.in -9
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
Consequently; the flags for ifconfig(8) are as follows:
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
.in +9
|
|
Flag Description Result
|
|
---- ----------- ------
|
|
-link0 Enable internal Transceiver (BNC/UTP)
|
|
link0 Disable internal Transceiver (AUI)
|
|
link1 Enable 10BaseT (UTP)
|
|
-link1 Disable 10BaseT (BNC)
|
|
.in -9
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
Thus to enable 10BaseT you would "ifconfig ep0 link0 link1"
|
|
|
|
It does not make sense to "ifconfig ep0 -link0 link1"
|
|
|
|
The default is "-link0 -link1".
|
|
|
|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
Since the card has no jumpers, the autoconfig routine scribbles
|
|
all over 0x100 to get the attention of any 3c509 cards that may
|
|
be in the machine. If you have any other hardware that lives at
|
|
0x100, then you should put any ep drivers before that hardware
|
|
in your config file.
|
|
|
|
Some models of 3c5x9 have all three connectors on them. In the case of these
|
|
cards; you must configure the transceiver type with the configuration
|
|
disk before the link0/link1 flags will operate correctly.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
Currently there is little support for EISA (3c579) cards and
|
|
multiple occurances of 3c501 (ISA) cards.
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
ep%d: reset (status: %x)
|
|
.in +4
|
|
the driver has encountered a FIFO underrun or overrun. The driver will reset
|
|
the card and the packet will be lost. This is not fatal.
|
|
.in -4
|
|
ep%d: eeprom failed to come ready
|
|
.in +4
|
|
The eeprom failed to come ready. This probably means the card is wedged.
|
|
.in -4
|
|
ep%d: 3c509 in test mode. Erase pencil mark!
|
|
.in +4
|
|
This means that someone has scribbled with pencil in the test area on the
|
|
card. Erase the pencil mark and reboot. (This is not a joke).
|
|
.in -4
|
|

|

|
|
.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
are great. There's so many to choose from.
