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 akbd 4 101ADB keyboard. 102.It Xr ams 4 103ADB mouse. 104.It Xr an 4 105Aironet Communications 4500/4800 IEEE 802.11DS wireless network adapter. 106.It Xr aue 4 107ADMtek AN986-based USB Ethernet adapters. 108.It Xr awacs 4 109Apple audio device. 110.It Xr bktr 4 111Video capture driver. 112.It Xr bm 4 113BMAC ethernet. 114.It Xr de 4 115DEC tulip-based ethernet cards. 116.It Xr eap 4 117Ensoniq AudioPCI based audio. 118.It Xr em 4 119Intel i82542, i82543, and i82544 Pro/1000 Gigabit ethernet. 120.It Xr fxp 4 121Intel EtherExpress PRO/100 Ethernet driver. 122.It Xr gem 4 123GMAC ethernet. 124.It Xr gpio 4 125PMU interrupt router. 126.It Xr hifn 4 127Hifn 7751 crypto accelerator. 128.It Xr hme 4 129National DP83840 ethernet cards. 130.It Xr iop 4 131I2O adapter. 132.It Xr kue 4 133Kawasaki LSI KL5KUSB101B-based USB ethernet. 134.It Xr siop 4 135LSI/Symbios Logic/NCR 53c8xx SCSI adapter boards. 136.It Xr ti 4 137Alteon Networks Tigon I and II Gigabit Ethernet driver. 138.It Xr uaudio 4 139USB audio devices. 140.It Xr ukbd 4 141USB keyboard. 142.It Xr ulpt 4 143USB printers. 144.It Xr umass 4 145USB mass storage. 146.It Xr ums 4 147USB mouse. 148.It Xr uplcom 4 149I/O Data USB-RSAQ2 USB serial adapters. 150.It Xr uscanner 4 151USB scanners. 152.It Xr usscanner 4 153SCSI-over-USB scanners. 154.It Xr vgafb 4 155PCI VGA graphics. 156.It Xr wi 4 157WaveLAN/IEEE and PRISM-II 802.11DS wireless network adapters. 158.It Xr xl 4 1593Com EtherLink XL and Fast EtherLink XL Ethernet driver. 160.It Xr zs 4 161Zilog 8530 serial controller. 162.El 163.Sh SEE ALSO 164.Xr autoconf 4 , 165.Xr config 8 166.Sh HISTORY 167The 168MacPPC 169.Nm 170first appeared in 171.Ox 3.0 . 172
