This includes, among others, the following models: .Pp .Bl -tag -width -offset indent -compact .It DEC PCI DE435, EISA DE425, DE450, DE500 .It SMC 8432, 9332, 9334 .It Cogent EM100FX and EM440TX .It Asante .It ZNYX ZX3xx .El .Pp This driver may support other cards based on the 21040 and 21041 Ethernet controllers, or the 21140[A], 21141, 21142, and 21143 Fast Ethernet controllers. .Pp The following media types and options (as given to .Xr ifconfig 8 ) are supported: .Pp .Bl -tag -width xxx -offset indent .It Cm media No autoselect Enable autoselection of the media type and options. .It Cm media No 10baseT Set 10Mbps operation on the 10baseT port. .It Cm media No 10base2 Set 10Mbps operation on the BNC port. .It Cm media No 10base5 Set 10Mbps operation on the AUI port. .It Cm media No 100baseTX Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation. .It Cm media No 100baseFX Set 100Mbps operation. .It Cm media No 100baseT4 Set 100Mbps operation (4-pair cat-3 cable). .El .Pp The .Nm driver supports the following media options: .Pp .Bl -tag -width xxx -offset indent -compact .It full-duplex Set full duplex operation for UTP port. .El .Pp For more information on configuring this device, see .Xr ifconfig 8 . To view a list of media types and options supported by your card try .Ic ifconfig -m . For example, .Ic ifconfig -m de0 . .Pp Note that the media types available depend on the particular card in use. Some cards are explicitly programmed to a particular media type by a setup utility and are not changeable. .Pp Use the .Xr ifconfig 8 command an in particular the .Fl m flag to list the supported media types for your particular card. .Pp The old .Dq ifconfig linkN method of configuration is not supported. .Sh DIAGNOSTICS .Bl -diag .It "de%d: waking device from sleep/snooze mode" The 21041 and 21140A chips support suspending the operation of the card. .It "de%d: error: desired IRQ of %d does not match device's actual IRQ of %d" The device probe detected that the board is configured for a different interrupt than the one specified in the kernel configuration file. .It "de%d: not configured; limit of %d reached or exceeded" There is a limit of 32 .Nm devices allowed in a single machine. .It "de%d: not configured; 21040 pass 2.0 required (%d.%d found)" .It "de%d: not configured; 21140 pass 1.1 required (%d.%d found)" Certain revisions of the chipset are not supported by this driver. .El .Sh CAVEATS Since the 21040 is available on both EISA and PCI boards, one must be careful in how defines the 21040 in the kernel config file. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr arp 4 , .Xr intro 4 , .Xr netintro 4 , .Xr ifconfig 8 .Sh AUTHORS The .Nm device driver was written by Matt Thomas.
