31.Sh NAME
32.Nm ie
33.Nd Intel i82596 Ethernet device
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Cd "ie0 at gsc? irq 8"
36.Sh DESCRIPTION
37The
38.Nm
39interface provides access to the 10 Mb/s
40.Tn Ethernet
41network via the
42.Tn Intel
43i82596 DX/CA 32-bit
44Local Area Network Coprocessor for Ethernet.
45.Pp
46The i82596 comes basically in two different flavors:
47.Bl -tag -width i82596DXxxx
48.It i82596DX
49Systems with an ASP or WAX Main Bus Adapter (MBA), e.g. 720, 735 etc.
50These types of systems generally have only AUI or BNC and AUI connectors at
51the back.
52On the models with both you usually have to switch a big
53jumper-block on the mainboard to choose which one to activate.
54.It i82596CA
55Systems with LASI MBA, e.g. 712/*, 715/100 have the i82596CA
56integrated on the LASI macrochip.
57They usually have TP and AUI
58connectors and autodetect to which one the network is connected to.
59.El
60.Pp
61By default, the system will select the media type automatically, but the
62.Xr ifconfig 8
63command can be used to force the media selection.
64The media types are shown below:
65.Bl -tag -width "media autoselect" -offset indent
66.It media autoselect
67Attempt to autoselect the media type (default)
68.It media 10base5
69Use the AUI connector
70.It media 10baseT
71Use the twisted pair connector
72.It media 10base2
73Use the BNC connector
