SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     ef* at isapnp?

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The ef device driver supports the 3Com  Fast  EtherLink  ISA
family of Ethernet
  cards,  and  embedded  controllers  based on the 3Com
``corkscrew''
     EtherLink chips.  This includes the  3C515  adapter(s)  with
National Semiconductor
  DP83840 PHYs, see nsphy(4).  Other models of 3Com
network cards
     are supported by the ec(4), eg(4), el(4), ep(4),  ie(4)  and
xl(4) drivers.

     For  more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).
