23.Sh SYNOPSIS
24.Cd "nep* at pci?"
25.Cd "brgphy* at mii?"
26.Sh DESCRIPTION
27The
28.Nm
29driver provides support for various NICs based on the Sun Neptune
30Ethernet controller chips, including the following:
31.Pp
32.Bl -bullet -compact -offset indent
33.It
34Sun Quad GbE UTP x8 PCI Express Card
35.It
36Sun Quad GbE UTP x8 PCIe ExpressModule
37.El
38.Pp
39It uses an internal or external PHY or an external 10-bit interface.
40.Pp
41The
42.Nm
43driver supports several media types, which are selected via the
44.Xr ifconfig 8
45command.
46The supported media types are:
47.Bl -tag -width "media" -offset indent
48.It Cm media No autoselect
49Attempt to autoselect the media type (default)
50.It Cm media No 1000baseT Cm mediaopt No full-duplex
