DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The sm device driver supports SMC91C9x-based Ethernet interfaces.

     The  ISA  attachment of the sm driver supports any SMC91C9xbased Ethernet
     interface on the ISA bus, including the EFA Info*Express SVC
VLB interface,
  and  the on-board SMC91C9x Ethernet found in many embedded PCs and
     laptop docking stations.

     The PCMCIA attachment of the sm driver supports Megahertz XJACK Ethernet
     cards,  NewMedia BASICS Ethernet cards, and SMC EtherEZ 8020
series cards.

MEDIA SELECTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The SMC91C9x supports AUI and UTP media types.

     To enable the AUI media, select the  10base5  or  aui  media
type with
     ifconfig(8)'s  `media' directive.  To select UTP, select the
10baseT or
     utp media type.

DIAGNOSTICS    [Toc]    [Back]

     sm0: unable to read MAC address  from  CIS   This  indicates
that the Ethernet
  address,  which is stored in the CIS information on the
Megahertz XJACK
 PCMCIA Ethernet card, is corrupted.
