Could you please let us know which ones? At least the manual page
should be corrected.

1.) I can't find any PCIe network chips in the wm(4) manual page.
2.) NetBSD definitely find the PCIe network chip on my recent PC motherboard:

Intel i82573L Gigabit Ethernet (ethernet network) at pci3 dev 0 function 0 not configured

    Supporting is unfortunately a different matter.

	Kind regards
