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

HISTORY
The neptune device appeared in
NetBSD 1.4.
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.
