EX(4) BSD/i386 Kernel Interfaces Manual EX(4)NAMEex — Ethernet device driver for the Intel EtherExpress Pro/10 and Pro/10+
SYNOPSIS
device ex0 at isa? port? irq ?
DESCRIPTION
The ex driver provides support for the 16-bit PCI Intel EtherExpress
Pro/10 and Pro/10+ Ethernet cards based on the Intel i82595 chip.
If the port start address isn't found, the card will be searched for in
the I/O address range 0x200 - 0x3a0. If the IRQ isn't specified, it will
be read from the EEPROM on the card. For correct operation on newer
cards the Plug-N-Play support should be disabled.
DIAGNOSTICS
ex%d: Intel EtherExpress Pro/10, address %6D, connector %s The device
probe found an installed card, and was able to correctly install the
device driver.
ex%d: WARNING: board's EEPROM is configured for IRQ %d, using %d The
device probe detected that the board is configured for a different inter‐
rupt than the one specified in the kernel configuration file.
ex%d: invalid IRQ. The device probe detected an invalid IRQ setting.
