Intel EtherExpress PRO/10 Ethernet driver (Intel i82595)
iy0 at isa? port {port} irq ?
The iy
device driver supports the EtherExpress PRO/10
card, and might support other ISA cards using the same chip.
The different models of the supported boards come with some subset of RJ-45, BNC
and AUI connectors. Supported media include:
- AUI/DIX
- Standard 15 pin connector
- 10Base2
- BNC, also known as thin-net
- 10BaseT
- UTP, also known as twisted pair
The default port to use is the port the card autodetects at
ifconfig up
time. To choose an alternative port, an
explicit medium can be specified to
ifconfig(8) or in your
ifconfig.iy? file.
The EtherExpress PRO card has no jumpers to set the address. Intel supplies
software to set the address of the card in software. You have to hardwire this
address in your kernel configuration file.
are great. There's so many to choose from.
