.Sh NAME
.Nm cm
.Nd SMC Arcnet Ethernet device driver
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd device isa
.Cd device cm
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver provides support for the
.Tn Arcnet
.Tn ISA
network adapters.
This driver supports the following card models:
.Pp
.Bl -item -compact
.It
SMC90c26
.It
SMC90c56
.It
SMC90c66 in '56 compatibility mode.
.El
.Pp
The
.Nm
driver also has quirks preset in the
.Xr device.hints 5
file for card detection.
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
When the
.Va NOARP
flag is set on the
.Nm
interface,
it does not employ the address resolution protocol described in
.Xr arp 4
to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on
the local network.
Instead it uses the least significant 8 bits of the
.Tn IP
address as the hardware address
like described in
.Tn RFC
1051
and
.Tn RFC
1201.
.Pp
With the
.Dv IFF_LINK0
flag cleared
.Tn IP/ARP/RARP
encoding is done according to
.Tn RFC
1201
that is, with Packet Header Definition Standard header and packet type
212 / 213.
The
.Tn MTU
is normally 1500.
The
.Dv IFF_LINK0
flag is cleared by default.
.Pp
With the
.Dv IFF_LINK0
flag set,
.Tn IP
and
.Tn ARP
encoding is done according to the deprecated
.Tn RFC
1051 encoding, that is with simple header, packet type 240 / 241,
and the
.Tn MTU
is 507.
.Pp
When switching between the two modes, use
.Dl ifconfig interfacename down up
to switch the
.Tn MTU .
.Sh ERRORS
The following driver specific error messages
may be reported:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er ENOENT
May be returned if the device cannot allocate a port,
memory resource, or IRQ with the given resource ID.
.It Bq Er EINVAL
May be returned if the device is marked as down and is
still running.
This error may also be returned if the device is marked as up
but is not running.

.Sh BUGS
The
.Nm
driver code could do with a bit of improvement,
it would be nice if some one could come along and take care of this.
