.Nd 3Com Fast EtherLink ISA (3c515) driver
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "ef* at isapnp?"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
device driver supports the 3Com Fast EtherLink ISA family
of Ethernet cards, and embedded controllers based on the 3Com
.Dq corkscrew
EtherLink chips.
This includes the 3C515 adapter(s) with National Semiconductor
.Tn DP83840
PHYs, see
.Xr nsphy 4 .
Other models of 3Com network cards are supported by the
.Xr ec 4 ,
.Xr eg 4 ,
.Xr el 4 ,
.Xr ep 4 ,
.Xr ie 4
and
.Xr xl 4
drivers.
.Pp
