+.Sh NAME
+.Nm eh
+.Nd i-cubed EtherLan 100/200/500-series (EtherH) Ethernet driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd eh* at podulebus0 slot ?
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network through an
+i-cubed EtherLan 100-series, 200-series or 500-series expansion card.
+It also supprts the Acorn-badged variants of the same cards, with part
+numbers
+.Tn AEH75 ,
+.Tn AEH77
+and
+.Tn AEH79 .
+.Pp
+Media selection on cards supporting multiple media can be accomplished
+either using
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+or using links on the card.  The links override the software and make the
+card behave as if only one medium is available.  The media available are:
+.Bl -tag -width 10baseFL
+.It 10baseT
+10baseT, 10Mb/s over unshielded twisted pair, RJ45 connector.
+.It 10base2
+10base2, 10Mb/s over coaxial cable, BNC connector, also called Thinnet.
+.El
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr ifmedia 4 ,
+.Xr ne 4 ,
+.Xr netintro 4 ,
+.Xr podulebus 4 ,
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+.Sh BUGS
+EtherLan 500-series support is untested.
+.Pp
+The 10baseFL port on the EtherLan 513 will probably be identified as 10base2.
+.Pp
+Automatic media selection doesn't currently work.  At startup, the driver tries
+to carry on using the same medium as RISC OS, but it isn't always successful.
+.Pp
+The driver can't detect the type of MAU plugged into an EtherLan 200-series
+card.
