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.
MEDIA SELECTION
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.
