.Nm
driver supports the following media types:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
.It autoselect

.It 10baseT/UTP
Set 10Mbps operation
.It 100baseTX
Set 100Mbps (fast ethernet) operation
.El
.Pp

.Xr ifconfig 8 .
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
.Bl -diag
.It "fxp%d: couldn't map memory"
A fatal initialization error has occurred.
.It "fxp%d: couldn't map interrupt"
A fatal initialization error has occurred.
.It "fxp%d: Failed to malloc memory"
There are not enough mbuf's available for allocation.
.It "fxp%d: device timeout"
The device has stopped responding to the network, or there is a problem with
the network connection (cable).
.It "fxp%d: Ethernet address ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff"
In some Alpha's (AXPpci and Multia) you must tell the driver to use (slower)
I/O rather than memory to access the card. Add ``fxp_iomap=1'' to
.Pa /boot/loader.rc .
