40.Sh NAME
41.Nm sip
42.Nd SiS 900-based Ethernet driver
43.Sh SYNOPSIS
44.Cd "sip* at pci? dev ? function ?"
45.Pp
46Configuration of PHYs is also necessary.  See
47.Xr mii 4 .
48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49The
50.Nm
51device driver supports Ethernet interfaces based on the Silicon
52Integrated Systems SiS 900, SiS 7016, and National Semiconductor
53DP83815 Ethernet chips.
54.Pp
55The SiS 900 is found on many motherboards featuring SiS chipsets,
56and on some embedded systems, and has a built-in PHY.  The SiS 7016
57is an older version of the chip, which uses an external PHY.
58.Pp
59The National Semiconductor DP83815 is found on NetGear FA-311 and
60FA-312 Ethernet boards, and has a built-in PHY.
61.\" .Sh DIAGNOSTICS
