NAME

     ne - NE2000 and compatible Ethernet cards device driver


SYNOPSIS

     ne0 at isa? port 0x300 irq 9
     ne* at isapnp?
     ne* at pci? dev ? function ?
     ne* at pcmcia? function ?


DESCRIPTION

     The ne device driver supports NE2000 and compatible (including NE1000)
     Ethernet cards.


MEDIA SELECTION

     The RealTek 8019 (ISA, ISAPnP, some PCMCIA) and RealTek 8029 (PCI)
     NE2000-compatible Ethernet chips include support for software media se-
     lection.  If one of these chips is detected by the driver, the list of
     supported media will be displayed.

     For all other chips supported by the ne driver, media selection selection
     must be performed either via card jumper settings or by vendor-supplied
     configuration programs.


DIAGNOSTICS

     ne0: where did the card go?  The driver found the card, but was unable to
     make the card respond to complete the configuration sequence.
