NAME snc - National Semiconductor DP8393X SONIC Ethernet adapter driver CONTENTS Synopsis Description Hardware Implementation Notes Diagnostics See Also History Authors Bugs SYNOPSIS .Cd device isa .Cd device snc DESCRIPTION The snc driver provides support for the National Semiconductor SONIC Ethernet adapters. HARDWARE The snc driver supports the following cards: National Semiconductor DP83934AVQB NEC PC-9801-83 NEC PC-9801-84 NEC PC-9801-103 NEC PC-9801-104 NEC PC-9801N-15 NEC PC-9801N-25 NEC PC-9801N-J02 PCMCIA NEC PC-9801N-J02R PCMCIA The snc driver also includes support for the National Semiconductor NS46C46 as 64 * 16 bits Microwave Serial EEPROM. IMPLEMENTATION NOTES Accessing SONIC card data structures and registers as 32 bit values makes code endianness independent. The SONIC is however always in big-endian mode so it is necessary to ensure that data structures shared between the CPU and the SONIC card are always in big-endian order. The snc driver supports the PC-98 C-Bus, and PnP buses. Support is also provided for the legacy C-Bus. DIAGNOSTICS The following driver specific error messages may be reported:
