10MB Media Codes:

T--Twisted Pair (10BASE-T)
B--BNC (10BASE2)
A--AUI (10BASE5)

100MB Media Codes:

X--100BASE-TX (Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair)

Notes:

1--BNC/AUI jumper on board must be set to select between those two media.
2--First port is the bottom one (closest to board edge connector).
3--STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) medium is not supported.
4--Board has separate jacks for 10 Mbytes and 100 Mbytes.
5--The DEC chip on this card is a prototype 21041 chip, labeled "proto."
6--Only tested on 10BASE-T network.
7--Only works on 100TX network.
A--ICS 1890Y PHY chip.
B--National Semiconductor DP83840 PHY chip.
C--National Semiconductor DP83223V PHY chip.
D--National Semiconductor DP83840VCE PHY chip.

Known Problems and Limitations

The adapters and configurations listed above are supported by the dnet driver, and additional boards will be supported in the future.
On multiport cards, the first port is the top port, except on the Rockwell RNS2340, the first port is the bottom port.
For the embedded dnet chip on Diversified Technologies and Znyx ZX312 cards, the network cable must be plugged in before the machine is turned on for proper speed detection. For all other cards, the cable should be plugged in at or before boot time.
Secondary ports on multiport cards may not work.(Bug 4007871)
