NAME

     eh -- i-cubed EtherLan 100/200/500-series (EtherH) Ethernet driver


SYNOPSIS

     eh* at podulebus0 slot ?


DESCRIPTION

     The eh driver provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network through an i-
     cubed EtherLan 100-series, 200-series or 500-series expansion card.  It
     also supports the Acorn-badged variants of the same cards, with part num-
     bers AEH75, AEH77 and AEH79.

     Media selection on cards supporting multiple media can be accomplished
     either using ifconfig(8) or using links on the card.  The links override
     the software and make the card behave as if only one medium is available.
     The media available, subject to the hardware on the card, are:

     auto      Automatically select 10BASE-T or 10BASE2.  10BASE-T will be
               used if a link beat appears to be present on that interface.
               Otherwise, 10BASE2 will be used.

     10baseT   10BASE-T, 10Mb/s over unshielded twisted pair, RJ45 connector.

     10base2   10BASE2, 10Mb/s over coaxial cable, BNC connector, also called
               Thinnet.

BUGS

     EtherLan 500-series support is untested.

     The 10BASE-FL port on the EtherLan 513 will probably be identified as
     10BASE2.
