33 .Nd "Intel EtherExpress PRO/100 Ethernet device driver"
35 To compile this driver into the kernel,
36 place the following lines in your
37 kernel configuration file:
38 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
43 Alternatively, to load the driver as a
44 module at boot time, place the following line in
46 .Bd -literal -offset indent
52 driver provides support for Ethernet adapters based on the Intel
53 i82557, i82558, i82559, i82550, and i82562 chips.
57 driver supports the following media types:
59 .Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
61 Enable autoselection of the media type and options
65 Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation
70 driver supports the following media options:
72 .Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
74 Set full duplex operation
77 Note that 100baseTX media type is not available on the Pro/10.
78 For further information on configuring this device, see
83 driver supports reception and transmission of extended frames
88 can be controlled by means of the
96 driver also supports a special link option:
99 Some chip revisions have loadable microcode which can be used to reduce the
100 interrupt load on the host cpu.
101 Not all boards have microcode support.
106 will download the microcode to the chip if it is available.
