The ep
device driver supports the 3Com
EtherLink III and Fast EtherLink III family of Ethernet cards. This
includes, among others, the following models:
Category 3, 4 or 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable should be used for RJ-45 (10baseT), thick Ethernet coaxial (RG59 B/U, 50 ohm) for AUI/DIX, and thin Ethernet coaxial (RG58 A/U or C/U, 50 ohm +/- 4) for BNC (10base2). Some 3Com NICs also support MII connectors (switchable 10/100Mbps UTP).
The following media types and options (as given to ifconfig(8)) are supported:
media
autoselectmedia
100baseTX mediaopt
full-duplexmedia
100baseTX mediaopt
half-duplexmedia
10baseT mediaopt
full-duplexmedia
10baseT mediaopt
half-duplexmedia
10base5media
10base2Note that the 100baseTX media type is only available if supported by the adapter. For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8). To view a list of media types and options supported by your card try “ifconfig <device> media”. For example, “ifconfig ep0 media”.
If more than one of the supported cards is installed, they are probed for in the following order:
You may specify the port and IRQ numbers where the cards are expected to be found, but it is not necessary. The cards are intelligent enough to let us know where they live on the bus.
