NAME
eisa
- Introduction to EISA bus machine-independent drivers and support
SYNOPSIS
options EISAVERBOSE
Machine-dependent; depends on the bus topology and
EISA
bus interface of your system. Typical
EISA
buses are either connected directly
to the main system bus, or via an
PCI
to
EISA
bridge. See the
intro(4)
documentation for your system for details.
DESCRIPTION
NetBSD
includes a machine-independent
EISA
bus subsystem and several machine-independent
EISA
device drivers.
Your system may support additional
EISA
devices.
Drivers for
EISA
devices not listed here are machine-dependent.
Consult your system's
intro(4)
for additional information.
SUPPORTED DEVICES
NetBSD
includes machine-independent
EISA
drivers, sorted by device type
and driver name:

Network interfaces
- ep

3Com 3c579 and 3c592 10Mbit
Ethernet,
and 3c597 10/100Mbit

Note that most or all
EISA
devices also have
PCI
or
ISA
equivalents.
These are listed in
pci(4),
isa(4),
or
isapnp(4),
respectively. The manual pages for each individual driver also lists the
supported bus variants.
