IY(4)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, meet iy: the Intel EtherExpress PRO/10 Ethernet driver (Intel i82595) 💅✨ and yes, this is the IY(4) page — main character energy fr fr.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

iy0 at isa? port {port} irq ?

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

The iy device driver supports the EtherExpress PRO/10 card, and might support other ISA cards using the same chip. Lowkey iconic, not gonna lie 🫶.

🦋 MEDIA SELECTION 🦋

The different models of the supported boards come with some subset of RJ-45, BNC and AUI connectors. Supported media include:

• AUI/DIX — Standard 15 pin connector 💅
• 10Base2 — BNC, also known as thin-net 🎀
• 10BaseT — UTP, also known as twisted pair 🌈

The default port to use is the port the card autodetects at ifconfig up time. To choose an alternative port, an explicit medium can be specified to ifconfig(8) or in your ifconfig.iy? file. No cap, just pick your vibe ✨.

🔥 NOTES 🔥

The EtherExpress PRO card has no jumpers to set the address. Intel supplies software to set the address of the card in software. You have to hardwire this address in your kernel configuration file. Like, actually hardwire it bestie — this is not a drill 😭.
