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 numbers 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.
