It +supports high and low priority transmit and receive queues, TCP/IP +checksum offload, multiple DMA descriptor formats and both polling +and producer/consumer DMA models. The AIC-6915 receive filtering +options include a 16 entry perfect filter, a 512-bit hash table +for multicast addresses, a 512-bit hash table for priority address +matching and VLAN filtering. An external MII-compliant transceiver +is required for media interfacing. +.Pp +Multiport adapters consist of several AIC-6915 controllers connected +via a PCI to PCI bridge. Each controller is treated as a separate +interface by the +.Nm +driver. +.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 +file. +.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.
