33eb4cb80bSthorpej.Sh NAME
34eb4cb80bSthorpej.Nm sip
35eb4cb80bSthorpej.Nd SiS 900-based Ethernet driver
36eb4cb80bSthorpej.Sh SYNOPSIS
37eb4cb80bSthorpej.Cd "sip* at pci? dev ? function ?"
38eb4cb80bSthorpej.Pp
39eb4cb80bSthorpejConfiguration of PHYs is also necessary.  See
40eb4cb80bSthorpej.Xr mii 4 .
41eb4cb80bSthorpej.Sh DESCRIPTION
42eb4cb80bSthorpejThe
43eb4cb80bSthorpej.Nm
44eb4cb80bSthorpejdevice driver supports Ethernet interfaces based on the Silicon
45eb4cb80bSthorpejIntegrated Systems SiS 900, SiS 7016, and National Semiconductor
46eb4cb80bSthorpejDP83815 Ethernet chips.
47eb4cb80bSthorpej.Pp
48eb4cb80bSthorpejThe SiS 900 is found on many motherboards featuring SiS chipsets,
49eb4cb80bSthorpejand on some embedded systems, and has a built-in PHY.  The SiS 7016
50eb4cb80bSthorpejis an older version of the chip, which uses an external PHY.
51eb4cb80bSthorpej.Pp
52eb4cb80bSthorpejThe National Semiconductor DP83815 is found on NetGear FA-311 and
53eb4cb80bSthorpejFA-312 Ethernet boards, and has a built-in PHY.
