-.Sh NAME

-Lite-On 82c168/82c169 PNIC fast ethernet device driver
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Cd "device pn0"
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Nm
-driver provides support for PCI ethernet adapters and embedded
-controllers based on the Lite-On 82c168 and 82c169 fast ethernet
-controller chips. This includes the LinkSys LNE100TX, the
-Bay Networks Netgear FA310TX revision D1, the Matrox Networks
-FastNIC 10/100, certain adapters manufactured by D-Link and
-Trendware, and various other commodity fast ethernet cards.
-.Pp
-The Lite-On chips use bus master DMA and are designed to be
-DEC 'tulip' workalikes. Many vendors that formerly based their
-designs around the DEC 21x4x devices are now using the PNIC
-instead. The chips support both an internal transceiver
-and external transceivers via an MII bus. The Lite-On parts are
-advertised as being register compatible with the DEC 21x4x
-controllers, however there are some differences in the way the
-EEPROM and MII access is done. The PNIC controllers support both
-10 and 100Mbps speeds in either full or half duplex.
-.Pp
-The
-.Nm
-driver supports the following media types:
-.Pp
-.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
-.It autoselect
-Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
-The user can manually override
-the autoselected mode by adding media options to the
-.Pa /etc/rc.conf
-fine.
-.It 10baseT/UTP
-Set 10Mbps operation. The
-.Ar mediaopt
-option can also be used to select either
-.Ar full-duplex
-or
-.Ar half-duplex modes.
-.It 100baseTX
-Set 100Mbps (fast ethernet) operation. The
-.Ar mediaopt
-option can also be used to select either
-.Ar full-duplex
-or
-.Ar half-duplex
-modes.
-.El
-.Pp
-The
-.Nm
-driver supports the following media options:
-.Pp
-.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
-.It full-duplex
-Force full duplex operation
-.It half-duplex
-Force half duplex operation.
-.El
-.Pp
-Note that the 100baseTX media type is only available if supported
-by the adapter.
-For more information on configuring this device, see
-.Xr ifconfig 8 .
-.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
-.Bl -diag
-.It "pn%d: couldn't map memory"
-A fatal initialization error has occurred.
-.It "pn%d: couldn't map interrupt"
-A fatal initialization error has occurred.
-.It "pn%d: watchdog timeout"
-The device has stopped responding to the network, or there is a problem with
-the network connection (cable).
-.It "pn%d: no memory for rx list"
-The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the receiver ring.
-.It "pn%d: no memory for tx list"
-The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the transmitter ring when
-allocating a pad buffer or collapsing an mbuf chain into a cluster.
-.It "pn%d: chip is in D3 power state -- setting to D0"
-This message applies only to adapters which support power
-management. Some operating systems place the controller in low power
-mode when shutting down, and some PCI BIOSes fail to bring the chip
-out of this state before configuring it. The controller loses all of
-its PCI configuration in the D3 state, so if the BIOS does not set
-it back to full power mode in time, it won't be able to configure it
-correctly. The driver tries to detect this condition and bring
-the adapter back to the D0 (full power) state, but this may not be
-enough to return the driver to a fully operational condition. If
-you see this message at boot time and the driver fails to attach
-the device as a network interface, you will have to perform second
-warm boot to have the device properly configured.
-.Pp
-Note that this condition only occurs when warm booting from another
-operating system. If you power down your system prior to booting
-.Fx ,
-the card should be configured correctly.

-.Sh HISTORY
-The
-.Nm
-device driver first appeared in
-.Fx 3.0 .
-.Sh AUTHOR
-The
-.Nm
-driver was written by
-.An Bill Paul Aq wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu .
-.Sh BUGS
-The
-.Nm
-driver currently only supports cards with external transceivers
-connected to the PNIC controller via its MII bus. This is because
-the author had no boards available for testing which made use of the
-internal transceiver. Most of the PNIC implementations on the market
-today use an external PHY, so hopefully this will not present any
-serious problems. Code to support the internal transceiver may be
-added later if hardware becomes available.
