.Nm ep
.Nd Ethernet driver for 3Com Etherlink III (3c5x9)
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "device ep0 at isa? port 0x300 irq 10"
.Cd "device ep0
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm ep
device driver supports the 3c509 (ISA) and 3c579 (EISA) cards.
device driver supports the 3c509 (ISA), 3c529 (MCA), 3c579 (EISA),
and various PCMCIA cards including the 3c589.
Various models of these cards come with a different assortment of
connectors:

The default port to use is the port that has been selected with the

If there are multiple cards in the computer, they are searched for
in the following order:
The 3c579 EISA cards are searched for first -- they will be found
in EISA slot# order.
Next, the 3c509 ISA cards are searched -- they are found in increasing
ethernet address order.
This is an example of how they will probe:
.Pp
ep0 at isa0 port 0x6000-0x600f irq 10: aui/bnc address 00:60:8c:70:e5:c5
ep1 at isa0 port 0x300-0x30f irq 3: aui/bnc/utp address 00:20:af:10:62:ab
.Pp
You may specify the port and irq numbers that the cards are expected
to be found at, but it is not necessary.
The cards are sufficiently intelligent to tell us where they
actually live on the ISA bus.
in the following order: bus, slot, then ethernet address.

.Sh NOTES
The 3c509 card has no jumpers to set the address.
