NAME
iy
- Intel EtherExpress PRO/10 Ethernet driver (Intel i82595)
SYNOPSIS
iy0 at isa? port {port} irq ?
DESCRIPTION
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.
NOTES
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.
