20 is the low-level Card Services driver for SMC 91c92, 91c94,
21 91c96, and 91c100 based PC Card ethernet adapters. When this
22 driver is attached to a card, it
23 allocates the next available ethernet device
26 device name will be reported in the kernel log file, and passed on to
29 With the default transceiver setting, the driver will attempt to
30 continuously autodetect the transceiver type (10base2 or 10baseT).
31 There should normally only be a one or two second lag before the
32 correct transceiver is selected. On particularly noisy or busy
33 networks, it is possible for the detection logic to incorrectly
34 toggle the transceiver type. If this becomes a problem, it may be
35 necessary to explicitly select the interface type when the module is
43 Selects the PCMCIA debugging level. This parameter is only available
44 if the module is compiled with debugging enabled. A non-zero value
48 Selects the transceiver type. 0 is autodetect (10baseT or 10base2),
49 1 is 10baseT (twisted pair), and 2 is 10base2 (BNC, or thin net). The
50 default is 0 (autodetect).
53 Specifies the set of interrupts that may be allocated by this driver.
56 .B eth#: interrupt(s) dropped!
57 Indicates that the driver did not receive an interrupt notification
58 for some reason. The driver will poll the card (with a significant
59 performance penalty) if the problem persists. The most likely cause
60 is an interrupt conflict and/or host bridge configuration problem.
