* Clear the Os macro, which is assumed gracefully at run-off time.
* Use quotes to reduce the long name description (Nd) to a single
argument.
* Use meaningful arguments to the -width option of the Bl macro.
* Mark rc.conf up with Xr instead of Pa so that it is obvious that
further help on that file is available.
* Explicitly indicate that mediaopt is a command modifier (Cm) of
the ifconfig(8) utility.
* Do not mark up half-duplex and full-duplex as arguments (Ar),
since they are allowed values for an argument.
* Fix various grammar and spelling mistakes.
controller chip. This chip is currently being used on the NetGear
FA312-TX adapter, which I guess is a replacement for the FA310-TX
(PNIC-based).
I added support for this chip by modifying the sis driver since
the SiS 900 and the NS DP83815 have almost the same programming
interface (the RX filter programming and PHY access methods are
different, but the general configuration, DMA scheme and register
layout are identical).
I would have had this done a lot sooner, but getting the damn MAC
address out of the EEPROM proved to be more complicated than expected.
SiS 900 and SiS 7016 PCI fast ethernet chipsets. Full manuals for the
SiS chips can be found at www.sis.com.tw.
This is a fairly simple chipset. The receiver uses a 128-bit multicast
hash table and single perfect entry for the station address. Transmit and
receive DMA and FIFO thresholds are easily tuneable. Documentation is
pretty decent and performance is not bad, even on my crufty 486. This
driver uses newbus and miibus and is supported on both the i386 and
alpha architectures.
