+Lite-On 82c168/82c169 PNIC fast ethernet device driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "pn* at pci? dev ? function ?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for PCI ethernet adapters and embedded
+controllers based on the Lite-On 82c168 and 82c169 fast ethernet
+controller chips. This includes the LinkSys LNE100TX, the
+Bay Networks Netgear FA310TX revision D1, the Matrox Networks
+FastNIC 10/100, certain adapters manufactured by D-Link and
+Trendware, and various other commodity fast ethernet cards.
+.Pp
+The Lite-On chips use bus master DMA and are designed to be
+DEC 'tulip' workalikes. Many vendors that formerly based their
+designs around the DEC 21x4x devices are now using the PNIC
+instead. The chips support both an internal transceiver
+and external transceivers via an MII bus. The Lite-On parts are
+advertised as being register compatible with the DEC 21x4x
+controllers, however there are some differences in the way the
+EEPROM and MII access is done. The PNIC controllers support both
+10 and 100Mbps speeds in either full or half duplex.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following media types:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+.It autoselect
+Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
+The user can manually override
+the autoselected mode by adding media options to the
+.Pa /etc/rc.conf
+fine.
+.It 10baseT/UTP
+Set 10Mbps operation. The
+.Ar mediaopt
+option can also be used to select either
+.Ar full-duplex
+or
+.Ar half-duplex modes.
+.It 100baseTX
+Set 100Mbps (fast ethernet) operation. The
+.Ar mediaopt
+option can also be used to select either
+.Ar full-duplex
+or
+.Ar half-duplex
+modes.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following media options:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+.It full-duplex
+Force full duplex operation
+.It half-duplex
+Force half duplex operation.
+.El
+.Pp
+Note that the 100baseTX media type is only available if supported
+by the adapter.
+For more information on configuring this device, see
+.Xr ifconfig 8 .
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+.Bl -diag
+.It "pn%d: couldn't map memory"
+A fatal initialization error has occurred.
+.It "pn%d: couldn't map interrupt"
+A fatal initialization error has occurred.
+.It "pn%d: watchdog timeout"
+The device has stopped responding to the network, or there is a problem with
+the network connection (cable).
+.It "pn%d: no memory for rx list"
+The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the receiver ring.
+.It "pn%d: no memory for tx list"
+The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the transmitter ring when
+allocating a pad buffer or collapsing an mbuf chain into a cluster.
+.It "pn%d: chip is in D3 power state -- setting to D0"
+This message applies only to adapters which support power
+management. Some operating systems place the controller in low power
+mode when shutting down, and some PCI BIOSes fail to bring the chip
+out of this state before configuring it. The controller loses all of
+its PCI configuration in the D3 state, so if the BIOS does not set
+it back to full power mode in time, it won't be able to configure it
+correctly. The driver tries to detect this condition and bring
+the adapter back to the D0 (full power) state, but this may not be
+enough to return the driver to a fully operational condition. If
+you see this message at boot time and the driver fails to attach
+the device as a network interface, you will have to perform second
+warm boot to have the device properly configured.
+.Pp
+Note that this condition only occurs when warm booting from another
+operating system. If you power down your system prior to booting
+.Fx ,
+the card should be configured correctly.

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+device driver first appeared in
+.Fx 3.0 .
+.Ox
+support first appeared in
+.Ox 2.5 .
+.Sh AUTHOR
+The
+.Nm
+driver was written by
+.An Bill Paul Aq wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu .
+.Sh BUGS
+The
+.Nm
+driver currently only supports cards with external transceivers
+connected to the PNIC controller via its MII bus. This is because
+the author had no boards available for testing which made use of the
+internal transceiver. Most of the PNIC implementations on the market
+today use an external PHY, so hopefully this will not present any
+serious problems. Code to support the internal transceiver may be
+added later if hardware becomes available.
