EL(4)			  i386 Kernel Interfaces Manual 		   EL(4)

NAME
     el -- Ethernet driver for 3Com Etherlink 3C501 device driver

SYNOPSIS
     device el0 at isa? port 0x300 irq 9

DESCRIPTION
     The  el  interface  provides  support  for the 3Com 3c501 8bit ISA ethernet
     card.  The 3c501 card is known to be quite slow, and a  different	ethernet
     card should be used if possible.  However, they allow inexpensive access to
     10 Mb/s Ethernet networks.

     The valid I/O ports are in the range 0x280-0x3f0.

BUGS
     The  driver  assumes the card is configured for the same IRQ as the kernel.
     No probing or checking is done to determine if this is the case.

     Does not currently support DMA.

     Does not currently support multicasts.
