"SMC Elite 16" ISA card which has AUI (10Base5) and BNC (10Base2) ports
I use AUI (10Base5) port only.
>Description:
Any Ethernet packets cannot be send. I suppose that this card uses
only BNC port, not AUI. However, this supposition is uncertain. I cannot
test this card on BNC environment. I have no BNC environment.
I cannot setup for this card to use AUI on MS-DOS or other method.
Because this card has no dip switch and cannot memorise any status; it
forgets all status at power off. I have to setup it in FreeBSD kernel
to use AUI.
>How-To-Repeat:
Always.
>Fix:
If I apply the following patch, I can use this card. Ethernet packets
can be send without any problem.
However, I cannot say that this patch is applicable to all other
environment. This patch might be applicable only to my environment.
There might be a environment that this patch make bad.
It might be better that we adopt a option for "ifconfig", eg. "-link2",
like HP PC LAN+ card.
