.Nd Ethernet driver for 3Com 3c505 Etherlink+ Ethernet board
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "device eg0 at isa? port 0x310 net irq 5"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network via the
|
|
3Com 3c505 board based on the Intel 82586 Ethernet chip.
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.Bl -diag
|
|
.It "eg%d: configure card command failed"
|
|
For some reason, the driver could not initialize the card. Please check
|
|
the card's IRQ and I/O settings relative to those in the kernel
|
|
configuration file.

.Sh BUGS
|
|
Uses the onboard firmware, which is not a good way to do it.
|
|
Doesn't support DMA or high speeds.
|
|
Currently the driver does not support multicast.
|
|
The timeout interval can be quite long (16 seconds) for a 512k board.
