+.Sh NAME
+.Nm hme
+.Nd SPARC National DP83840 ethernet interface
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "hme* at sbus? slot ? offset ? " Pq "sun4c/sun4m"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+interface provides access to the 10Mb/s and 100Mb/s Ethernet networks via the
+.Tn National
+DP83840
+Ethernet chip set. The
+.Nm
+is found on the SunSwift and Sun QuadFastEthernet boards.
+.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, it will attempt to auto-negotiate the link speed.
+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.

+.Sh BUGS
+The autonegotiation process is not as robust as it should be.
