It's not supported any more. It was never ported to CAM, and that
functionality has been taken over by the da driver. So the man page can be
removed.

PCI fast ethernet controller. Currently, the only card I know that uses
this chip is the D-Link DFE-550TX. (Don't ask me where to buy these: the
only cards I have are samples sent to me by D-Link.)
This driver is the first to make use of the miibus code once I'm sure
it all works together nicely, I'll start converting the other drivers.
The Sundance chip is a clone of the 3Com 3c90x Etherlink XL design
only with its own register layout. Support is provided for ifmedia,
hardware multicast filtering, bridging and promiscuous mode.
- increase the default timeout from 10 seconds to 60 seconds
- add a new kernel option, SCSI_PT_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT, that lets users specify
the default timeout for the pt driver to use
- add two new ioctls, one to get the timeout for a given pt device, the
other to set the timeout for a given pt device. The idea is that
userland applications using the device can set the timeout to suit their
purposes. The ioctls are defined in a new header file, sys/ptio.h

No one's objected, so I've made this change. This sort of fixes docs/12220,
by removing the reference to the undocumented getkerninfo(2) call. So I'll
close the PR as well.

ethernet controllers based on the AIC-6915 "Starfire" controller chip.
There are single port, dual port and quad port cards, plus one 100baseFX
card. All are 64-bit PCI devices, except one single port model.
The Starfire would be a very nice chip were it not for the fact that
receive buffers have to be longword aligned. This requires buffer
copying in order to achieve proper payload alignment on the alpha.
Payload alignment is enforced on both the alpha and x86 platforms.
The Starfire has several different DMA descriptor formats and transfer
mechanisms. This driver uses frame descriptors for transmission which
can address up to 14 packet fragments, and a single fragment descriptor
for receive. It also uses the producer/consumer model and completion
queues for both transmit and receive. The transmit ring has 128
descriptors and the receive ring has 256.
This driver supports both FreeBSD/i386 and FreeBSD/alpha, and uses newbus
so that it can be compiled as a loadable kernel module. Support for BPF
and hardware multicast filtering is included.

gigabit ethernet adapters. This includes two single port cards
(single mode and multimode fiber) and two dual port cards (also single
mode and multimode fiber). SysKonnect is currently the only
vendor with a dual port gigabit ethernet NIC.
The ports on dual port adapters are treated as separate network
interfaces. Thus, if you have an SK-9844 dual port SX card, you
should have both sk0 and sk1 interfaces attached. Dual port cards
are implemented using two XMAC II chips connected to a single
SysKonnect GEnesis controller. Hence, dual port cards are really
one PCI device, as opposed to two separate PCI devices connected
through a PCI to PCI bridge. Note that SysKonnect's drivers use
the two ports for failover purposes rather that as two separate
interfaces, plus they don't support jumbo frames. This applies to
their Linux driver too. :)
Support is provided for hardware multicast filtering, BPF and
jumbo frames. The SysKonnect cards support TCP checksum offload
however this feature is not currently enabled (hopefully it will
be once we get checksum offload support).
There are still a few things that need to be implemeted, like
the ability to communicate with the on-board LM80 voltage/temperature
monitor, but I wanted to get the driver under CVS control and into
-current so people could bang on it.
A big thanks for SysKonnect for making all their programming info
for these cards (and for their FDDI and token ring cards) available
without NDA (see www.syskonnect.com).
Don't document non-bugs in the BUGS section, or anywhere else. It
is not a bug to drop data when overloaded. The compile-time tuning
options turned out to be not very useful, and aren't supported
offically.
Documented the not so new option CY_PCI_FASTINTR.

similar to the PNIC I (supported by the pn driver). In fact, it's really
a Macronix 98715A with wake on LAN support added. According to LinkSys,
the PNIC II was jointly developed by Lite-On and Macronis. I get the
feeling Macronix did most of the work. (The datasheet has the Macronix
logo on it, and is in fact nearly identical to the 98715 datasheet, except
for the extra wake on LAN registers.) In any case, the PNIC II works just
fine with the Macronix driver.
The changes are:
- Move PCI ID for the PNIC II from the pn driver to the mx driver.
- Mention PNIC II support in mx.4.
- Mention PNIC II support in RELNOTES.TXT and HARDWARE.TXT.
- Mention that the 6Mbps turbo adapters are supported in HARDWARE.TXT
and RELNOTES.TXT and the wi.4 man page
- Mention turbo adapters in the wicontrol.8 man page and provide a
complete table of available transmit speed settings
