+.Sh NAME
+.Nm we
+.Nd device driver for Western Digital/SMC WD80x3, SMC Elite Ultra,
+and SMC EtherEZ Ethernet cards
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "we0 at isa? port 0x280 iomem 0xd0000 irq 9"
+.Cd "we1 at isa? port 0x300 iomem 0xcc000 irq 10"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+device driver supports Western Digital/SMC WD80x3, SMC Elite Ultra, and
+SMC EtherEZ Ethernet cards.
+.Sh MEDIA SELECTION
+The ability to select media from software is dependent on the particular
+model of WD/SMC card. The following models support only manual configuration:
+WD8003S, WD8003E, and WD8013EBT.
+.Pp
+Other WD/SMC 80x3 interfaces support two types of media on a single card.
+All support the AUI media type. The other media is either BNC or UTP
+beind a transciever. Sofware cannot differentiate between BNC and UTP
+cards. On some models, the AUI port is always active.
+.Pp
+The SMC Elite Ultra and SMC EtherEZ interfaces support three media
+a single card: AUI, BNC, and UTP. If the transciever is active, the BNC
+media is selected. Otherwise, the AUI and UTP ports are both active.
+.Pp
+To enable the AUI media, select the
+.Em 10base5
+or
+.Em aui
+media type with
+.Xr ifconfig 8 's
+.Sq media
+directive. To select the other media (transciever), select the
+.Em 10base2
+or
+.Em bnc
+media type.
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+.Bl -diag
+.It "we0: overriding IRQ <n> to <m>"
+The IRQ specified in the kernel configuration file is different from that
+found in the card's configuration registers. The value in the kernel
+configuration file is being overridden by the one configured into the card.
+.It "we0: can't wildcard IRQ on a <model>"
+The IRQ was wildcarded in the kernel configuration file, and the card is
+a WD8003S, WD8003E, or WD8013EBT, which do not support software IRQ
+configuration.
+.It "we0: failed to clear shared memory at offset <off>"
+The memory test was unable to clear shared the interface's shared memory
+region. This often indicates that the card is configured at a conflicting
+.Em iomem
+address.
