38.Sh NAME
39.Nm sis
40.Nd SiS 900, SiS 7016, and NS DP83815/6 10/100 Ethernet device

42.Cd "sis* at pci?"

44.Cd "nsphyter* at mii?"
45.Cd "rlphy* at mii?"
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47The
48.Nm
49driver provides support for PCI Ethernet adapters and embedded
50controllers based on the Silicon Integrated Systems SiS 900 /
51SiS 7016 Fast Ethernet controller chips, and National
52Semiconductor DP83815 (MacPHYTER) / DP83816 (MacPHYTER-II) PCI
53Ethernet controller chips, including the following:

64.El
65.Pp
66The SiS 900 is a 100Mbps Ethernet MAC and MII-compliant transceiver
67in a single package.
68It uses a bus master DMA and a scatter/gather descriptor scheme.
69The SiS 7016 is similar to the SiS 900 except that it has no internal PHY,
70requiring instead an external transceiver to be attached to its MII interface.
71The SiS 900 and SiS 7016 both have a 128-bit multicast hash filter
72and a single perfect filter entry for the station address.
73.Pp
74The NS DP83815 and DP83816 are also 100Mbps Ethernet MACs
75with integrated PHY.
76The NatSemi chips and the SiS chips share many of the same features and
77a fairly similar programming interface, and hence are supported
78by the same driver.
79.Pp
80The
81.Nm
82driver supports the following media types:
83.Bl -tag -width full-duplex
84.It autoselect
85Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
86The user can manually override
87the autoselected mode by adding media options to the
88.Xr hostname.if 5
89file.
90.It 10baseT
91Set 10Mbps operation.
92The
93.Ar mediaopt
94option can also be used to select either
95.Ar full-duplex
96or
97.Ar half-duplex
98modes.
99.It 100baseTX
100Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation.
101The
102.Ar mediaopt
103option can also be used to select either
104.Ar full-duplex
105or
106.Ar half-duplex
107modes.
108.El
109.Pp
110The
111.Nm
112driver supports the following media options:
113.Bl -tag -width full-duplex
114.It full-duplex
115Force full duplex operation.
116.It half-duplex
117Force half duplex operation.
118.El

121.Xr ifconfig 8 .
122.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
123.Bl -diag
124.It "sis0: couldn't map ports/memory"
125A fatal initialization error has occurred.
126.It "sis0: couldn't map interrupt"
127A fatal initialization error has occurred.
128.It "sis0: watchdog timeout"
129The device has stopped responding to the network, or there is a problem with
130the network connection (cable).
131.It "sis0: no memory for rx list"
132The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the receiver ring.
133.It "sis0: no memory for tx list"
134The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the transmitter ring when
135allocating a pad buffer or collapsing an mbuf chain into a cluster.
