NAME

pcelx − 3COM EtherLink III PCMCIA Ethernet Adapter

SYNOPSIS

pcelx@<socket>:pcelx<socket>

DESCRIPTION

The pcelx driver supports the 3COM EtherLink III PCMCIA PC Card as a standard Ethernet type of device conforming to the DLPI interface specification. The driver supports the hot-plugging of the PC Card. 

The PPA (Physical Point of Attachment) is defined by the socket number the card is inserted in.  This means that for IP use, the card should always be plugged into the same socket that the network interface was initially brought up on or else a network reconfiguration should be done to take down the old interface and bring up the new one. 

Both the 3C589 and 3C589B versions of the card are supported on the x86 architecture.  The 3C589B may be required on other platforms.
