.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm el
|
|
.Nd "Ethernet driver for 3Com Etherlink 3C501 devices"
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
To compile support for the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver into your kernel, place the following line in your
|
|
kernel configuration file:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Cd "device el"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Alternatively, to load the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver at boot time, place the following line in
|
|
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
if_el_load="YES"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In
|
|
.Pa /boot/device.hints :
|
|
.Cd hint.el.0.at="isa"
|
|
.Cd hint.el.0.port="0x300"
|
|
.Cd hint.el.0.irq="9"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interface provides support for the 3Com 3c501 8bit ISA Ethernet card.
|
|
The 3c501 card is known to be quite slow, and a different Ethernet card
|
|
should be used if possible.
|
|
However, they allow inexpensive access to 10 Mb/s Ethernet networks.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The valid I/O ports are in the range 0x280-0x3f0.
|
|
.Sh HARDWARE
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver supports the 3Com 3c501 8bit ISA Ethernet card.

|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The driver assumes the card is configured for the same IRQ as the kernel.
|
|
No probing or checking is done to determine if this is the case.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Does not currently support DMA.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Does not currently support multicasts.
