41.Sh NAME
42.Nm sm
43.Nd SMC91Cxx-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.Cd "sm* at nubus?"
49.Sh DESCRIPTION
50The
51.Nm
52device driver supports SMC91C9x-based and SMC91C1xx-based Ethernet interfaces.
53.Pp
54The ISA attachment of the
55.Nm
56driver supports any SMC91C9x-based Ethernet interface on the ISA
57bus, including the EFA Info*Express SVC VLB interface, and the
58on-board SMC91C9x Ethernet found in many embedded PCs and laptop
59docking stations.
60.Pp
61The mhzc attachment of the
62.Nm
63driver supports the Megahertz combo Ethernet and modem card.
64.Pp
65The PCMCIA attachment of the
66.Nm
67driver supports Megahertz X-JACK Ethernet cards.
68.Pp
69The nubus attachment of the
70.Nm
71driver supports SMC-based Ethernet cards for the macintosh.
72.Sh MEDIA SELECTION
73The SMC91C1xx supports the MII interface and so the list of supported
74media depends on several factors, including which PHY is attached.  The
75SMC91C9x supports AUI and UTP media types.
76.Pp
77To enable the AUI media, select the
78.Em 10base5
79or
80.Em aui
81media type with
82.Xr ifconfig 8 Ns s
83.Sq media
84directive.  To select UTP, select the
85.Em 10baseT
86or
87.Em utp
88media type.
89.Pp
90.Xr ifconfig 8 Ns s
91.Sq -m
92option will display the full list of supported
93.Sq media
94directives for a particular configuration.
95.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
96.Bl -diag
97.It "sm0: unable to read MAC address from CIS"
98This indicates that the Ethernet address, which is stored in the
99CIS information on the Megahertz X-JACK PCMCIA Ethernet card, is
100corrupted.
