41.Sh NAME
42.Nm ec
43.Nd device driver for 3Com Etherlink II (3c503) Ethernet cards
44.Sh SYNOPSIS
45.Cd "ec0 at isa? port 0x250 iomem 0xd8000 irq 9"
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47The
48.Nm
49device driver supports 3Com Etherlink II (3c503) Ethernet cards.
50.Sh MEDIA SELECTION
51The Etherlink II supports two media types on a single card.  All support
52the AUI media type.  The other media is either BNC or UTP behind a
53transciever.  Software cannot differentiate between BNC and UTP cards.
54.Pp
55To enable the AUI media, select the
56.Em 10base5
57or
58.Em aui
59media type with
60.Xr ifconfig 8 's
61.Sq media
62directive.  To select the other media (BNC or UTP), select the
63.Em 10base2
64or
65.Em bnc
66media type.
67.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
68.Bl -diag
69.It "ec0: wildcarded IRQ is not allowed"
70The IRQ was wildcarded in the kernel configuration file.  This is not
71supported.
72.It "ec0: invalid IRQ <n>, must be 3, 4, 5, or 9"
73An IRQ other than the above listed IRQs was specified in the kernel
74configuration file.  The Etherlink II hardware only supports the
75above listed IRQs.
76.It "ec0: failed to clear shared memory at offset <off>"
77The memory test was unable to clear shared the interface's shared memory
78region.  This often indicates that the card is configured at a conflicting
79.Em iomem
80address.
