+.Nm tx

+SMC 9432 10/100 Mbps Ethernet device driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "tx* at pci? dev ? function ?"
+.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 xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -offset indent
+.It media autoselect
+Attempt to autoselect the media type (default)
+.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

+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+.Bl -diag
+.It "tx%d: device timeout %d packets"
+The device stopped responding. Device and driver reset follows this error.
+.It "tx%d: PCI fatal error occured (%s)"
+One of following errors occured: PCI Target Abort, PCI Master Abort, Data
+Parity Error or Address Parity Error. Device and driver reset follows
+this error.
+.It "tx%d: WARNING! no link established"
+No media connected. Displayed at startup only.
+.It "tx%d: cannot allocate mbuf header/cluster"
+Failed to allocate memory for a received packet. Packet was dropped.
+.It "tx%d: can't stop %s DMA"
+While resetting, the driver failed to stop the device correctly.
