41.Os
42.Sh NAME
43.Nm sm
44.Nd SMC91C9x-based Ethernet driver
45.Sh SYNOPSIS
46.Cd "sm0 at isa? port 0x300 irq 10"
47.Cd "sm* at pcmcia? function ?"
48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49The
50.Nm
51device driver supports SMC91C9x-based Ethernet interfaces.
52.Pp
53The ISA attachment of the
54.Nm
55driver supports any SMC91C9x-based Ethernet interface on the ISA
56bus, including the EFA Info*Express SVC VLB interface, and the
57on-board SMC91C9x Ethernet found in many embedded PCs and laptop
58docking stations.
59.Pp
60The PCMCIA attachment of the
61.Nm
62driver supports Megahertz X-JACK Ethernet cards, NewMedia BASICS Ethernet
63cards, and SMC EtherEZ 8020 series cards.
64.Sh MEDIA SELECTION
65The SMC91C9x supports AUI and UTP media types.
66.Pp
67To enable the AUI media, select the
68.Em 10base5
69or
70.Em aui
71media type with
72.Xr ifconfig 8 's
73.Sq media
74directive.
75To select UTP, select the
76.Em 10baseT
77or
78.Em utp
79media type.
80.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
81.Bl -diag
82.It "sm0: unable to read MAC address from CIS"
83This indicates that the Ethernet address, which is stored in the
84CIS information on the Megahertz X-JACK PCMCIA Ethernet card, is
85corrupted.
