.Nd Ethernet driver for AMD 79C960 LANCE based boards
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "ae* at zbus0"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interface provides access to the 10 Mb/s Ethernet network via the
|
|
.Tn AMD
|
|
79C960
|
|
.Tn LANCE
|
|
Ethernet 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 Ethernet addresses on the local
|
|
network.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This card come with two different assortment of connectors:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
|
|
.It 10Base2
|
|
BNC, also known as thin-net
|
|
.It 10BaseT
|
|
UTP, also known as twisted pair
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The card uses an autoselect between UTP and BNC, so it uses UTP when an
|
|
active UTP line is connected or otherwise BNC.
|
|
To choose an alternate port, use the following flag combinations with
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8
|
|
or in your /etc/hostname.ae? file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
|
|
.It -link0
|
|
Use the autoselect between UTP and BNC (default).
|
|
.It \ link0 -link1
|
|
Use the BNC port.
|
|
.It \ link0 \ link1
|
|
Use the UTP port.
