| | 35 | .Sh NAME |
| | 36 | .Nm ep |
| | 37 | .Nd Ethernet driver for 3Com Etherlink III (3c5x9) |
| | 38 | .Sh SYNOPSIS |
| | 39 | .Cd "device ep" |
| | 40 | .Sh DESCRIPTION |
| | 41 | The |
| | 42 | .Nm |
| | 43 | device driver supports the 3c509 (ISA), 3c529 (MCA), |
| | 44 | and various PCMCIA cards including the 3c589. |
| | 45 | Various models of these cards come with a different assortment of |
| | 46 | connectors: |
| | 47 | .Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |
| | 48 | .It AUI/DIX |
| | 49 | Standard 15 pin connector, also known as 10base5 (thick-net) |
| | 50 | .It 10Base2 |
| | 51 | BNC, also known as thin-net |
| | 52 | .It 10BaseT |
| | 53 | UTP, also known as twisted pair |
| | 54 | .El |
| | 55 | .Pp |
| | 56 | The default port to use is the port that has been selected with the |
| | 57 | setup utility. |
| | 58 | To override this, use the following media options with |
| | 59 | .Xr ifconfig 8 |
| | 60 | or in your |
| | 61 | .Pa /etc/rc.conf |
| | 62 | file. |
| | 63 | .Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |
| | 64 | .It 10base5/AUI |
| | 65 | Use the AUI port. |
| | 66 | .It 10base2/BNC |
| | 67 | Use the BNC port. |
| | 68 | .It 10baseT/UTP |
| | 69 | Use the UTP port. |
| | 70 | .El |
| | 71 | .Pp |
| | 72 | If there are multiple cards in the computer, they are searched for |
| | 73 | in the following order: bus, slot, then ethernet address. |
| | 74 | .Sh NOTES |
| | 75 | The 3c509 card has no jumpers to set the address. |
| | 76 | 3Com supplies software to set the address of the card in software. |
| | 77 | To find the card on the ISA bus, the kernel performs a complex |
| | 78 | scan operation at IO address 0x110. |
| | 79 | Beware! |
| | 80 | Avoid placing other cards at that address! |
| | 81 | .Sh DIAGNOSTICS |
| | 82 | .Bl -diag |
| | 83 | .It ep0: reset (status: %x) |
| | 84 | The driver has encountered a FIFO underrun or overrun. |
| | 85 | The driver will reset the card and the packet will be lost. |
| | 86 | This is not fatal. |
| | 87 | .It ep0: eeprom failed to come ready |
| | 88 | The eeprom failed to come ready. |
| | 89 | This probably means the card is wedged. |
| | 90 | .It ep0: 3c509 in test mode. Erase pencil mark! |
| | 91 | This means that someone has scribbled with pencil |
| | 92 | in the test area on the card. |
| | 93 | Erase the pencil mark and reboot. |
| | 94 | (This is not a joke). |
