50see 51.Xr syslogd 8 52for more information. 53.Pp 54This section contains both devices 55which may be configured into the system 56and network related information. 57The networking support is introduced in 58.Xr netintro 4 . 59.Sh DEVICE SUPPORT 60This section describes the hardware supported on the MacPPC 61platform. 62Software support for these devices comes in two forms. 63A hardware device may be supported with a character or block 64.Em device driver , 65or it may be used within the networking subsystem and have a 66.Em network interface driver . 67Block and character devices are accessed through files in the file 68system of a special type; see 69.Xr mknod 8 . 70Network interfaces are indirectly accessed through the interprocess 71communication facilities provided by the system; see 72.Xr socket 2 . 73.Pp 74A hardware device is identified to the system at configuration time 75and the appropriate device or network interface driver is then compiled 76into the system. 77When the resultant system is booted, the autoconfiguration facilities 78in the system probe for the device and, if found, enable the software 79support for it. 80If a device does not respond at autoconfiguration 81time it is not accessible at any time afterwards. 82To enable a device which did not autoconfigure, 83the system will have to be rebooted. 84.Pp 85The configuration system is described in 86.Xr autoconf 4 . 87A list of the supported devices is given below. 88.Sh LIST OF DEVICES 89The devices listed below are supported in this incarnation of 90the system. 91Pseudo-devices are not listed. 92Devices are indicated by their functional interface. 93Not all supported devices are listed. 94.Pp 95.Bl -tag -width usscanner(4) -compact -offset indent 96.It Xr abtn 4 97ADB button. 98.It Xr aed 4 99ADB Event Device. 100.It Xr ahc 4 101Adaptec PCI SCSI host adapter driver. 102.It Xr akbd 4 103ADB keyboard. 104.It Xr ams 4 105ADB mouse. 106.It Xr an 4 107Aironet Communications 4500/4800 IEEE 802.11DS wireless network adapter. 108.It Xr aue 4 109ADMtek AN986-based USB Ethernet adapters. 110.It Xr awacs 4 111Apple audio device. 112.It Xr bktr 4 113Video capture driver. 114.It Xr bm 4 115BMAC ethernet. 116.It Xr dc 4 , Xr de 4 117DEC tulip-based ethernet cards. 118.It Xr eap 4 119Ensoniq AudioPCI based audio. 120.It Xr em 4 121Intel i82542, i82543, and i82544 Pro/1000 Gigabit ethernet. 122.It Xr fxp 4 123Intel EtherExpress PRO/100 Ethernet driver. 124.It Xr gem 4 125GMAC ethernet. 126.It Xr gpio 4 127PMU interrupt router. 128.It Xr hifn 4 129Hifn 7751 crypto accelerator. 130.It Xr hme 4 131National DP83840 ethernet cards. 132.It Xr iop 4 133I2O adapter. 134.It Xr kue 4 135Kawasaki LSI KL5KUSB101B-based USB ethernet. 136.It Xr lofn 4 137Hifn 6500 crypto accelerator. 138.It Xr safe 4 139SafeNet SafeXcel 1141/1741. 140.It Xr siop 4 141LSI/Symbios Logic/NCR 53c8xx SCSI adapter boards. 142.It Xr ti 4 143Alteon Networks Tigon I and II Gigabit Ethernet driver. 144.It Xr uaudio 4 145USB audio devices. 146.It Xr ubsec 4 147Broadcom and BlueStell uBsec 5x0x crypto accelerator. 148.It Xr ukbd 4 149USB keyboard. 150.It Xr ulpt 4 151USB printers. 152.It Xr umass 4 153USB mass storage. 154.It Xr ums 4 155USB mouse. 156.It Xr uplcom 4 157I/O Data USB-RSAQ2 USB serial adapters. 158.It Xr uscanner 4 159USB scanners. 160.It Xr usscanner 4 161SCSI-over-USB scanners. 162.It Xr vgafb 4 163PCI VGA graphics. 164.It Xr wi 4 165WaveLAN/IEEE and PRISM-II 802.11DS wireless network adapters. 166.It Xr xl 4 1673Com EtherLink XL and Fast EtherLink XL Ethernet driver. 168.It Xr zs 4 169Zilog 8530 serial controller. 170.El 171.Sh SEE ALSO 172.Xr autoconf 4 , 173.Xr config 8 174.Sh HISTORY 175The 176MacPPC 177.Nm 178first appeared in 179.Ox 3.0 . 180
