`devn-el589.so`

Driver for 3Com 589 PCMCIA Ethernet adapters

Syntax:

io-net -d el589 [option[,option ...]] ...

Use commas (,) to separate the options (not spaces).

ioport=num: The I/O port of the interface. This is a required parameter and port must be a hex address (e.g. 0x320).
irq=num: The IRQ of the interface. This is a required parameter.
mac=XXXXXXXXXXXX: MAC address of controller. The default is automatically detected on supported hardware.
nomulticast: Disables the driver from sending or receiving multicast packets. By default, multicast is enabled.
promiscuous: Enable promiscuous mode. The default is off.
tmem=name: Name to use for typed memory.
verbose verbose=num: Be verbose. Specify num for more verbosity (num can be 1-4, the higher the number, the more detailed the output). The output goes to slogger, invoke sloginfo to view.

The devn-el589.so driver controls 3Com 589 PCMCIA Ethernet adapters.

Start io-net using the 589 PCMCIA Ethernet adapter driver and the full TCP/IP stack:

io-net -d el589 ioport=0x200,irq=7 -p tcpip
ifconfig en0 10.184

/dev/io-net: The directory where, by default, drivers and protocol modules add entries. For more information, the documentation for io-net.

You must specify the ioport and irq options when using this driver.

The PCMCIA/Cardbus server, devp-pccard, must be started before running this driver.
