|

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.Nm
|
||
|
|
is a framework for writing network interface drivers for FreeBSD.
|
||
|
|
It is designed to remove a large amount of the boilerplate that is often
|
||
|
|
needed for modern network interface devices, allowing driver authors to
|
||
|
|
focus on the specific code needed for their hardware.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
There are three logical components to
|
||
|
|
.Nm
|
||
|
|
each of which is described in its own manual page.
|
||
|

These are:

||
|
|
.Nm
|
||
|
|
into the rest of the

|
|
networking stack.
