+.Sh NAME
+.Nm epic
+.Nd SMC83C170 (EPIC/100) Ethernet driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "epic* at pci?"
+.Cd "qsphy* at mii?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+interface provides access to the 10Mb/s and 100Mb/s Ethernet networks via the
+.Tn SMC
+.Tn EPIC
+chipset.
+This driver provides support for the
+.Tn SMC
+.Tn EtherPower II 10/100
+Ethernet cards.
+.Pp
+Each of the host's network addresses
+is specified at boot time with an
+.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
+.Xr ioctl 2 .
+The
+.Nm
+interface employs the address resolution protocol described in
+.Xr arp 4
+to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
+network.
+.Pp
+When a
+.Nm
+interface is brought up, by default, it will attempt to auto-negotiate the
+link speed and duplex.
+The speeds, in order of attempt, are: 100Mb/s Full Duplex, 100Mb/s Half Duplex,
+10 Mb/s Full Duplex, and 10 Mb/s Half Duplex.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+supports several media types, which are selected via the
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+command.
+The supported media types are:
+.Bl -tag -width 6n -offset indent
+.It media autoselect
+Attempt to autoselect the media type (default)
+.It media 100baseFX mediaopt full-duplex
+Use 100baseFX (fiber), full duplex
+.It media 100baseFX Op mediaopt half-duplex
+Use 100baseFX (fiber), half duplex
+.It media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex
+Use 100baseTX, full duplex
+.It media 100baseTX Op mediaopt half-duplex
+Use 100baseTX, half duplex
+.It media 100baseTX mediaopt loopback
+Put the interface into loopback mode
+.It media 10baseT mediaopt full-duplex
+Use 10baseT, full duplex
+.It media 10baseT Op mediaopt half-duplex
+Use 10baseT, half duplex
+.It media 10baseT mediaopt loopback
+Put the interface into loopback mode
