33d532e4f8Sjmc.Nd Intel i82596 Ethernet device
34b1014d07Smickey.Sh SYNOPSIS
35b1014d07Smickey.Cd "ie0 at gsc? irq 8"
36b1014d07Smickey.Sh DESCRIPTION
37b1014d07SmickeyThe
38b1014d07Smickey.Nm
39b1014d07Smickeyinterface provides access to the 10 Mb/s
40b1014d07Smickey.Tn Ethernet
41b1014d07Smickeynetwork via the
42b1014d07Smickey.Tn Intel
43cba302adSmickeyi82596 DX/CA 32-bit
449bfd5855SjmcLocal Area Network Coprocessor for Ethernet.
45b1014d07Smickey.Pp
46cba302adSmickeyThe i82596 comes basically in two different flavors:
47b1014d07Smickey.Bl -tag -width i82596DXxxx
48b1014d07Smickey.It i82596DX
49cba302adSmickeySystems with an ASP or WAX Main Bus Adapter (MBA), e.g. 720, 735 etc.
50b1014d07SmickeyThese types of systems generally have only AUI or BNC and AUI connectors at
51fa986dacSdavidthe back.
52fa986dacSdavidOn the models with both you usually have to switch a big
53569edf49Smickeyjumper-block on the mainboard to choose which one to activate.
54b1014d07Smickey.It i82596CA
55cba302adSmickeySystems with LASI MBA, e.g. 712/*, 715/100 have the i82596CA
56fa986dacSdavidintegrated on the LASI macrochip.
57fa986dacSdavidThey usually have TP and AUI
58569edf49Smickeyconnectors and autodetect to which one the network is connected to.
59b1014d07Smickey.El
60b1014d07Smickey.Pp
61b1014d07SmickeyBy default, the system will select the media type automatically, but the
62b1014d07Smickey.Xr ifconfig 8
63b1014d07Smickeycommand can be used to force the media selection.
64b1014d07SmickeyThe media types are shown below:
65d6936e52Smiod.Bl -tag -width "media autoselect" -offset indent
66b1014d07Smickey.It media autoselect
67b1014d07SmickeyAttempt to autoselect the media type (default)
68b1014d07Smickey.It media 10base5
69b1014d07SmickeyUse the AUI connector
70b1014d07Smickey.It media 10baseT
71b1014d07SmickeyUse the twisted pair connector
72b1014d07Smickey.It media 10base2
73b1014d07SmickeyUse the BNC connector
