# NAME

iy — Intel EtherExpress PRO/10 Ethernet driver (Intel i82595)

# SYNOPSIS

iy0 at isa? port {port} irq ?

# DESCRIPTION

The iy device driver supports the EtherExpress PRO/10 card, and might support other ISA cards using the same chip.

# MEDIA SELECTION

The different models of the supported boards come with some subset of RJ-45, BNC and AUI connectors. Supported media include:

AUI/DIX
  Standard 15 pin connector
10Base2
  BNC, also known as thin-net
10BaseT
  UTP, also known as twisted pair

The default port to use is the port the card autodetects at ifconfig up time. To choose an alternative port, an explicit medium can be specified to ifconfig(8) or in your ifconfig.iy? file.

# NOTES

The EtherExpress PRO card has no jumpers to set the address. Intel supplies software to set the address of the card in software. You have to hardwire this address in your kernel configuration file.
