SYNOPSIS

To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:

device ex

Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf5:

if_ex_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

The driver provides support for Ethernet adapters based on the Intel i82595 chip.

On the ISA bus, the card will be searched for in the I/O address range 0x200 - 0x3a0. The IRQ will be read from the EEPROM on the card. For correct operation Plug-N-Play support should be disabled.

On the PC Card bus, the card will be automatically recognized and configured.

HARDWARE

The driver supports the following Ethernet adapters:

• Intel EtherExpress Pro/10 ISA
• Intel EtherExpress Pro/10+ ISA
• Olicom OC2220 Ethernet PC Card
• Olicom OC2232 Ethernet/Modem PC Card
• Silicom Ethernet LAN PC Card
• Silicom EtherSerial LAN PC Card

DIAGNOSTICS

"ex%d: Intel EtherExpress Pro/10, address %6D, connector %s"

The device probe found an installed card, and was able to correctly install the device driver.

"ex%d: WARNING: board's EEPROM is configured for IRQ %d, using %d"

The device probe detected that the board is configured for a different interrupt than the one specified in the kernel configuration file.

"ex%d: invalid IRQ."

The device probe detected an invalid IRQ setting.

HISTORY

The device driver first appeared in Fx 2.2 .
