NAME

     ea -- Atomwide ``Ether3'' Ethernet driver

SYNOPSIS

     ea* at podulebus0 slot ?

DESCRIPTION

     The ea driver provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network through a card based on the SEEQ 8005 Advanced Ethernet Data Link Controller.

     The cards supported by this driver are generally those supported by the ``Ether3'' driver under RISC OS.  These include:

     o	 Atomwide A-1005
     o	 Atomwide A-1006
     o	 Atomwide A-1007
     o	 Acorn AEH54

     Media selection on these cards is through links on the board, so there are no media options available through the driver.

SEE ALSO

     eb(4), netintro(4), podulebus(4), ifconfig(8)

BUGS

     The driver doesn't support 8-bit cards like the A-1009, A-1010, A-1011 and A-1012.

NAME

     xi -- Xircom CreditCard Ethernet device driver

SYNOPSIS

     xi* at xirc?

     Configuration of PHYs may also be necessary.  See mii(4).

DESCRIPTION

     The xi driver provides support for the Xircom CreditCard family of PCMCIA Ethernet adapters.  Supported cards include:

	   Xircom CreditCard Ethernet II
	   Xircom CreditCard 10/100 Ethernet
	   Xircom RealPort 10/100 Ethernet + Modem (Ethernet function only)
	   Intel EtherExpress Pro/100
	   Compaq Netelligent 10/100

     Cards which should work, but have not been confirmed include:

	   Xircom RealPort Ethernet
	   Xircom RealPort 10/100 Ethernet

     Some Xircom Ethernet products are supported by the tlp(4) driver.

MEDIA SELECTION

     Media selection is done using ifconfig(8) using the standard ifmedia(4) mechanism.  Refer to those manual pages for more information.

SEE ALSO

     ifmedia(4), mii(4), netintro(4), pcmcia(4), tlp(4), xirc(4), ifconfig(8)

HISTORY

     The xi device driver appeared in NetBSD 1.5.

BUGS

     The driver suffers from poor performance.	Even with the 10/100 cards, do not expect more than ~450KB/s.  Some 10/100 cards may not autonego-
     tiate reliably and require manual media selection.

     The Xircom multifunction cards which contain both Ethernet and modem interfaces are known to have problems.  This is due to the card not
     reporting itself correctly as a multifunction card.
