NAME
neptune
- Neptune-X ISA bridge driver
SYNOPSIS
neptune0 at intio0 addr 0xece000 irq 239
ne0 at neptune? addr 0x300
DESCRIPTION
The Neptune-X is a Ethernet interface card initially designed by
Hirofumi Shimada, which uses popular NE2000 or its clone with its
own x68k-proprietary bus to ISA bus bridge.
The
NetBSD
neptune
driver takes charge of the ISA bridge part of the Neptune-X.
It is implemented as a more generic `bus' with its own
bus_space(9)
interface, and is intended to be used with
ne(4)
driver.

HISTORY
The
neptune
device appeared in
NetBSD1.4.
BUGS
neptune
itself is always detected when it is specified in the kernel config file.
This is because the Neptune-X ISA bridge is transparent to software.
The attached device is detected appropriately.
