20 The following are notes and information on using the 3Com EtherLink III series
22 card's 3Com model number, 3c509. They are all 10mb/s ISA-bus cards and shouldn't
23 be (but sometimes are) confused with the similarly-numbered PCI-bus "3c905"
24 (aka "Vortex" or "Boomerang") series. Kernel support for the 3c509 family is
25 provided by the module 3c509.c, which has code to support all of the following
28 - 3c509 (original ISA card)
29 - 3c509B (later revision of the ISA card; supports full-duplex)
30 - 3c589 (PCMCIA)
31 - 3c589B (later revision of the 3c589; supports full-duplex)
32 - 3c579 (EISA)

52 This configures the first found 3c509 card for IRQ 10, base I/O 0x310, and
53 transceiver type 3 (10base2). The flag "0x3c509" must be set to avoid conflicts

65 The v1.18c driver added support for the 3c509B's full-duplex capabilities.
69 (a) You must have a Etherlink III card model whose hardware supports full-
70 duplex operations. Currently, the only members of the 3c509 family that are
71 positively known to support full-duplex are the 3c509B (ISA bus) and 3c589B
73 full-duplex mode; these include the original 3c509 (no "B"), the original
74 3c589, the 3c529 (MCA bus), and the 3c579 (EISA bus).
81 (c) Most importantly, your 3c509B must be connected to a link partner that is
82 itself full-duplex capable. This is almost certainly one of two things: a full-
83 duplex-capable Ethernet switch (*not* a hub), or a full-duplex-capable NIC on
84 another system that's connected directly to the 3c509B via a crossover cable.
92 Understand that the 3c509B's hardware's full-duplex support is much more

97 auto-negotiate a full-duplex connection with its link partner under any

160 use the same ISA IRQ line. The common conflict is with a sound card on IRQ10
