.Sh NAME
|
||||
.Nm ep
|
||||
.Nd Ethernet driver for 3Com Etherlink III (3c5x9)
|
||||
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
||||
.Cd "ep0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 vector epintr"
|
||||
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm ep
|
||||
device driver supports the 3c509 (ISA) and 3c579 (EISA) cards.
|
||||
Various models of these cards come with a different assortment of
|
||||
connectors:
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
|
||||
.It AUI/DIX
|
||||
Standard 15 pin connector
|
||||
.It 10Base2
|
||||
BNC, also known as thin-net
|
||||
.It 10BaseT
|
||||
UTP, also known as twisted pair
|
||||
.El
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The default port to use is the BNC. To choose an alternate port,
|
||||
use the following flag combinations with
|
||||
.Xr ifconfig 8
|
||||
or in your /etc/hostname.ep? file.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
|
||||
.It -link0
|
||||
Use the BNC port (default).
|
||||
.It \ link0 -link1
|
||||
Use the AUI port.
|
||||
.It \ link0 \ link1
|
||||
Use the UTP port.
|
||||
.El
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
If there are multiple cards in the computer, they are searched for
|
||||
in the following order:
|
||||
The 3c579 EISA cards are searched for first -- they will be found
|
||||
in EISA slot# order.
|
||||
Next, the 3c509 ISA cards are searched -- they are found in increasing
|
||||
ethernet address order.
|
||||
This is an example of how they will probe:
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
ep0 at isa0 port 0x6000-0x600f irq 10: aui/bnc address 00:60:8c:70:e5:c5
|
||||
ep1 at isa0 port 0x300-0x30f irq 3: aui/bnc/utp address 00:20:af:10:62:ab
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
You may specify the port and irq numbers that the cards are expected
|
||||
to be found at, but it is not necessary.
|
||||
The cards are sufficiently intelligent to tell us where they
|
||||
actually live on the ISA bus.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Sh NOTES
|
||||
The 3c509 card has no jumpers to set the address.
|
||||
3Com supplies software to set the address of the card in software.
|
||||
To find the card on the ISA bus, the kernel performs a complex
|
||||
scan operation at IO address 0x100.
|
||||
Beware!
|
||||
Avoid placing other cards at that address!
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Some models of 3c5x9 have all three connectors on them.
|
||||
In the case of these cards; you must configure the transceiver type
|
||||
with the 3Com supplied DOS configuration disk before the link0/link1
|
||||
flags will operate correctly.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
||||
ep0: 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
|
||||
ep0: eeprom failed to come ready
|
||||
.in +4
|
||||
The eeprom failed to come ready. This probably means the card is wedged.
|
||||
.in -4
|
||||
ep0: 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).
