37.Nd 3Com Fast EtherLink ISA (3c515) driver
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.Cd "ef* at isapnp?"
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41The
42.Nm
43device driver supports the 3Com Fast EtherLink ISA family
44of Ethernet cards, and embedded controllers based on the 3Com
45.Dq corkscrew
46EtherLink chips.
47This includes the 3C515 adapter(s) with National Semiconductor
48.Tn DP83840
49PHYs, see
50.Xr nsphy 4 .
51Other models of 3Com network cards are supported by the
52.Xr ec 4 ,
53.Xr eg 4 ,
54.Xr el 4 ,
55.Xr ep 4 ,
56.Xr ie 4
57and
58.Xr xl 4
59drivers.

61For more information on configuring this device, see
62.Xr ifconfig 8 .
63.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
64.Bl -diag
65.It "ef%d: adapter failure (%x)"
66A fatal error during receive or transmit has occurred.
67.It "ef%d: eeprom failed to come ready"
68When reading/writing the EEPROM, the busy bit failed to clear.
69This may indicate a hardware problem.
70.It "ef%d: device timeout"
71The device has stopped responding to the network, or there is a problem with
