NAME
     ep -- Ethernet driver for 3Com Etherlink III (3c5x9)

SYNOPSIS
     device ep

DESCRIPTION
     The ep device driver supports various PCMCIA cards including the 3c589.
     Various models of these cards come with a different assortment of connec-
     tors:

     AUI/DIX		   Standard 15 pin connector, also known as 10base5
			   (thick-net)

     10Base2		   BNC, also known as thin-net

     10BaseT		   UTP, also known as twisted pair

     The default port to use is the port that has been selected with the setup
     utility.  To override this, use the following media options with
     ifconfig(8) or in your /etc/rc.conf file.

     10base5/AUI	   Use the AUI port.

     10base2/BNC	   Use the BNC port.

     10baseT/UTP	   Use the UTP port.

     If there are multiple cards in the computer, they are searched for in the
     following order: bus, slot, then ethernet address.

DIAGNOSTICS
     ep0: reset (status: %x)  The driver has encountered a FIFO underrun or
     overrun.  The driver will reset the card and the packet will be lost.
     This is not fatal.

     ep0: eeprom failed to come ready  The eeprom failed to come ready.  This
     probably means the card is wedged.
