🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, this is EL(4) from the Kernel Interfaces Manual, and it's all about el β€” the 3Com EtherLink (3c501) Ethernet interface device driver. yes, that's the whole name, and it ate πŸ’…βœ¨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

el0 at isa? port 0x300 irq 9

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

The el interface gives you access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network via the 3Com EtherLink (3c501) Ethernet cards. that's it, that's the vibe, and honestly it's giving vintage network-card realness πŸŒˆπŸ“Ά

πŸ¦‹ SEE ALSO πŸ¦‹

go read these, bestie:

πŸŽ€ AUTHORS πŸŽ€

The el driver was written my Matthew Kimmel. β€” exact words, bestie, I'm not doing a grammar makeover on the source material 😭🫢

πŸ’€ BUGS πŸ’€

The el driver does not currently support multicast or DMA. so if you were hoping for either, nope, not today, and not currently β€” periodt πŸ™ˆ

important vibe check: those limitations are real, no cap.

okay bye bestie, mwah πŸ’‹ β€” this page came from Debian, dated November 10, 1997, and it's serving vintage manual realness πŸŽ€πŸ’Ύβœ¨
