I noticed that the ep(4) man page doesn't match the actual code with
respect to the way the link flags select the media. It says:
The default port to use is the BNC. To choose an alternate port, use the
following flag combinations with ifconfig(8) or in your /etc/hostname.ep?
file.
-link0 Use the BNC port (default).
link0 -link1 Use the AUI port.
link0 link1 Use the UTP port.
However the driver (isa/if_ep.c) says:
* Now behavior was slightly changed:
*
* if any of flags link[0-2] is used and its connector is
* physically present the following connectors are used:
*
* link0 - AUI * highest precedence
* link1 - BNC
* link2 - UTP * lowest precedence
*
* If none of them is specified then
* connector specified in the EEPROM is used
* (if present on card or AUI if not).
which is not exactly the same thing. I find that to use UTP, I have to
specify link2.
As long as we're at it, the following diagnostics do not seem
to exist anymore:
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: 3c509 in test mode. Erase pencil mark!
This means that someone has scribbled with pencil in the test area on
the card. Erase the pencil mark and reboot. (This is not a joke).
