+Winbond W89C840F fast ethernet device driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "wb* at pci? dev ? function ?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for PCI ethernet adapters and embedded
+controllers based on the Winbond W89C840F fast ethernet controller
+chip. This includes the Trendware TE100-PCIE and various other cheap
+boards. The 840F should not be confused with the 940F, which is
+an NE2000 clone and only supports 10Mbps speeds.
+.Pp
+The Winbond controller uses bus master DMA and is designed to be
+a DEC 'tulip' workalike. It differs from the standard DEC design
+in several ways: the control and status registers are spaced 4
+bytes apart instead of 8, and the receive filter is programmed through
+registers rather than by downloading a special setup frame via
+the transmit DMA engine. Using an external PHY, the Winbond chip
+supports 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. This is only
+supported if the PHY chip attached to the Winbond controller
+supports NWAY autonegotiation. The user can manually override
+the autoselected mode by adding media options to the appropriate
+.Pa /etc/hostname.wbX
+file.
+.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 "wb%d: couldn't map memory"
+A fatal initialization error has occurred.
+.It "wb%d: couldn't map interrupt"
+A fatal initialization error has occurred.
+.It "wb%d: watchdog timeout"
+The device has stopped responding to the network, or there is a problem with
+the network connection (cable).
+.It "wb%d: no memory for rx list"
+The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the receiver ring.
+.It "wb%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 "wb%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
+.Ox ,
+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 Winbond chip seems to behave strangely in some cases when the
+link partner switches modes. If for example both sides are set to
+10Mbps half-duplex, and the other end is changed to 100Mbps
+full-duplex, the Winbond's receiver suddenly starts writing trash
+all over the RX descriptors. The
+.Nm
+driver handles this by forcing a reset of both the controller
+chip and attached PHY. This is drastic, but it appears to be the
+only way to recover properly from this condition.
