41.Sh NAME
42.Nm sm
43.Nd SMC91C9x-based Ethernet interfaces device driver
44.Sh SYNOPSIS
45.Cd "sm0 at isa? port 0x300 irq 10"
46.Cd "sm* at mhzc?"
47.Cd "sm* at pcmcia? function ?"
48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49The
50.Nm
51device driver supports SMC91C9x-based Ethernet interfaces.
52.Pp
53The ISA attachment of the
54.Nm
55driver supports any SMC91C9x-based Ethernet interface on the ISA
56bus, including the EFA Info*Express SVC VLB interface, and the
57on-board SMC91C9x Ethernet found in many embedded PCs and laptop
58docking stations.
59.Pp
60The mhzc attachment of the
61.Nm
62driver supports the Megahertz combo Ethernet and modem card.
63.Pp
64The PCMCIA attachment of the
65.Nm
66driver supports Megahertz X-JACK Ethernet cards.
67.Sh MEDIA SELECTION
68The SMC91C9x supports AUI and UTP media types.
69.Pp
70To enable the AUI media, select the
71.Em 10base5
72or
73.Em aui
74media type with
75.Xr ifconfig 8 's
76.Sq media
77directive.  To select UTP, select the
78.Em 10baseT
79or
80.Em utp
81media type.
82.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
83.Bl -diag
84.It "sm0: unable to read MAC address from CIS"
85This indicates that the Ethernet address, which is stored in the
86CIS information on the Megahertz X-JACK PCMCIA Ethernet card, is
87corrupted.
