33 .Nd Intel EtherExpress PRO/100 Ethernet device driver
40 driver provides support for Ethernet adapters based on the Intel
41 i82557, i82558, i82559, i82550, and i82562 chips.
45 driver supports the following media types:
47 .Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
49 Enable autoselection of the media type and options
53 Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation
58 driver supports the following media options:
60 .Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
62 Set full duplex operation
65 Note that 100baseTX media type is not available on the Pro/10.
66 For further information on configuring this device, see
71 driver supports reception and transmission of extended frames
76 can be controlled by means of the
84 driver also supports a special link option:
87 Some chip revisions have loadable microcode which can be used to reduce the
88 interrupt load on the host cpu.
89 Not all boards have microcode support.
94 will download the microcode to the chip if it is available.

131 .It "fxp%d: Failed to malloc memory"
132 There are not enough mbuf's available for allocation.
133 .It "fxp%d: device timeout"
134 The device has stopped responding to the network, or there is a problem with
135 the network connection (cable).
136 .It "fxp%d: Ethernet address ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff"
137 In some Alpha's (AXPpci and Multia) you must tell the driver to use (slower)
138 I/O rather than memory to access the card.
