EBPHY(4)		    BSD Programmer's Manual		      EBPHY(4)

NAME
     EBPHY - Physical layer (PHY) driver on 3C905B ASIC

SYNOPSIS
     ebphy* at eb? phy ?

DESCRIPTION
     The ebphy driver supports the PHYceiver built into the 3C905B ASIC for
     10baseT and 100baseTX Ethernet. This device driver is called upon by net-
     work device drivers; no direct administrative control is provided.

     The ifconfig(8) command in conjunction with the device driver making us-
     ing of this drivers services provides an administrative interface that
     allows various physical level parameters (such as duplex, speed, and
     loopback) to be controlled.

     The 3C905B supports NWay automatic speed and duplex negotiation as well
     as automatic speed detection for hubs that do not support the NWay FLP
     protocol (both methods are defined by the IEEE 802.3u standard).

BUGS
     The ebphy MII ID is {0,0}. This is legal, but it allows false recognition
     when used in bad kernel configuration files in combination with other
     PHYs that don't have a unique identifier.

SEE ALSO
     ifconfig(8),  eb(4)
