IY(4)                     NetBSD Programmer's Manual                     IY(4)


NAME

     iy - Ethernet driver for Intel i82595


SYNOPSIS

     iy0 at isa? port {port} irq ?


DESCRIPTION

     The iy device driver supports the Etherepress PRO/10 card, and might sup-
     port other ISA cards using the same chip.

     Various models of these cards come with a different assortment of connec-
     tors:

     AUI/DIX               Standard 15 pin connector

     10Base2               BNC, also known as thin-net

     10BaseT               UTP, also known as twisted pair

     The default port to use is the port the card autodetects at ifconfig(up)
     time. To choose an alternative port, use the following flag combinations
     with ifconfig(8) or in your /etc/hostname.iy? file.

     -link0 -link1         Use the autodetected port (default).

     -link0  link1         Use the BNC port.

      link0 -link1         Use the AUI port.

      link0  link1         Use the UTP port.


NOTES

     The Etherexpress PRO card has no jumpers to set the address.  Intel sup-
     plies software to set the address of the card in software.  You have to
     hardwire this address in your kernel configuration file.
