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


NAME

     iy - Intel i82595 Ethernet driver


SYNOPSIS

     iy0 at isa? port {port} irq ?


DESCRIPTION

     The iy device driver supports the EtherExpress PRO/10 card, and might
     support other ISA cards using the same chip.


MEDIA SELECTION

     The different models of the supported boards come with some subset of
     RJ-45, BNC and AUI connectors.  Supported media include:

           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, an explicit medium can be specified
     to ifconfig(8) or in your ifconfig.iy?  file.


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.
