.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm le
|
|
.Nd Ethernet driver for AMD7990(LANCE) and AMD 79C960 based boards
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "le* at zbus0"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interface provides access to the 10 Mb/s Ethernet network via the
|
|
.Tn AMD
|
|
7990 and 79C960
|
|
.Tn LANCE
|
|
Ethernet chip set.
|
|
.Sh HARDWARE
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interface supports the following Zorro II expansion cards:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "AMERISTAR" -offset indent
|
|
.It Em A2065
|
|
Commodore's Ethernet card, manufacturer\ 514, product\ 112
|
|
.It Em AMERISTAR
|
|
Ameristar's Ethernet card, manufacturer\ 1053, product\ 1
|
|
.It Em ARIADNE
|
|
Village Tronic's Ethernet card, manufacturer\ 2167, product\ 201
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh MEDIA SELECTION
|
|
The A2065 and Ameristar Ethernet cards supports only manual media selection.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The Ariadne card supports a software media selection for it's two
|
|
different connectors:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
|
|
.It 10Base2/BNC
|
|
also known as thinwire-Ethernet
|
|
.It 10BaseT/UTP
|
|
also known as twisted pair
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The Ariadne card uses an autoselect between UTP and BNC, so it uses UTP when an
|
|
active UTP line is connected or otherwise BNC.
|
|
To control this choice, use the following flag combinations with
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8
|
|
or in your /etc/hostname.le? file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
|
|
.It \ media auto
|
|
Use the autoselect between UTP and BNC (default).
|
|
.It \ media BNC
|
|
Use the BNC port.
|
|
.It \ media UTP
|
|
Use the UTP port.
