42.Sh NAME
43.Nm ec
44.Nd 3Com EtherLink II Ethernet (3c503) driver
45.Sh SYNOPSIS
46.Cd "ec0 at isa? port 0x250 iomem 0xd8000 irq 9"
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Nm
50device driver supports 3Com EtherLink II (3C503) Ethernet cards.
51Other models of 3Com network cards are supported by the
52.Xr ef 4 ,
53.Xr eg 4 ,
54.Xr el 4 ,
55.Xr ep 4 ,
56.Xr ie 4 ,
57and
58.Xr xl 4
59drivers.
60.Pp
61The Etherlink II supports two media types on a single card.  All support
62the AUI media type.  The other media is either BNC or UTP behind a
63transceiver.  Software cannot differentiate between BNC and UTP cards.
64.Pp
65The following media types and options (as given to
66.Xr ifconfig 8 )
67are supported:
68.Pp
69.Bl -tag -width xxx -offset indent
70.It Cm media No 10base5
71Set 10base5 (thick-net) operation.
72.It Cm media No 10base2
73Set BNC (10base2/thin-net) or UTP operation.
74.El
75.Pp
76For more information on configuring this device, see
77.Xr ifconfig 8 .
78To view a list of media types and options supported by your card try
79.Dq ifconfig -m <device> .
80For example,
81.Dq ifconfig -m ec0 .
82.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
83.Bl -diag
84.It "ec0: wildcarded IRQ is not allowed"
85The IRQ was wildcarded in the kernel configuration file.  This is not
86supported.
87.It "ec0: invalid IRQ <n>, must be 3, 4, 5, or 9"
88An IRQ other than the above listed IRQs was specified in the kernel
89configuration file.  The Etherlink II hardware only supports the
90above listed IRQs.
91.It "ec0: failed to clear shared memory at offset <off>"
92The memory test was unable to clear the interface's shared memory
93region.  This often indicates that the card is configured at a conflicting
94.Em iomem
95address.
