+Alteon Networks Tigon I and Tigon II gigabit ethernet driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "ti* at pci?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for PCI gigabit ethernet adapters based on
+the Alteon Networks Tigon gigabit ethernet controller chip. The Tigon
+contains an embedded R4000 CPU, gigabit MAC, dual DMA channels and
+a PCI interface unit. The Tigon II contains two R4000 CPUs and other
+refinements. Either chip can be used in either a 32-bit or 64-bit PCI
+slot. Communication with the chip is achieved via PCI shared memory
+and bus master DMA. The Tigon I and II support hardware multicast
+address filtering, VLAN tag extraction and insertion, and jumbo
+ethernet frames sizes up to 9000 bytes. Note that the Tigon I chipset
+is no longer in active production: all new adapters should come equipped
+with Tigon II chipsets.
+.Pp
+There are several PCI boards available from both Alteon and other
+vendors that use the Tigon chipset under OEM contract. The
+.Nm
+driver has been tested with the following Tigon-based adapters:
+.Bl -bullet -offset indent
+.It
+The Alteon AceNIC V gigabit ethernet adapter
+.It
+The 3Com 3c985-SX gigabit ethernet adapter
+.It
+The Netgear GA620 gigabit ethernet adapter
+.It
+The Digital EtherWORKS 1000SX PCI Gigabit Adapter (DEGPA)
+.El
+.Pp
+The following should also be supported but have not yet been tested:
+.Bl -bullet -offset indent
+.It
+Silicon Graphics PCI gigabit ethernet adapter
+.El
+.Pp
+While the Tigon chipset supports 10, 100 and 1000Mbps speeds, support for
+10 and 100Mbps speeds is only available on boards with the proper
+transceivers. Most adapters are only designed to work at 1000Mbps,
+however the driver should support those NICs that work at lower speeds
+as well.
+.Pp
+Support for jumbo frames is provided via the interface MTU setting.
+Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit jumbo frames.
+Using jumbo frames can greatly improve performance for certain tasks,
+such as file transfers and data streaming.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following media types:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+.It autoselect
+Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
+.It 10baseT/UTP
+Set 10Mbps operation. The
+.Ar mediaopt
+option can also be used to select either
+.Ar full-duplex
+or
+.Ar half-duplex modes.
+.It 100baseTX
+Set 100Mbps (fast ethernet) operation. The
+.Ar mediaopt
+option can also be used to select either
+.Ar full-duplex
+or
+.Ar half-duplex
+modes.
+.It 1000baseSX
+Set 1000Mbps (gigabit ethernet) operation. Only full
+.Ar full-duplex
+mode is supported at this speed.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following media options:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+.It full-duplex
+Force full duplex operation
+.It half-duplex
+Force half duplex operation.

+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+.Bl -diag
+.It "ti%d: can't map memory space"
+A fatal initialization error has occurred.
+.It "ti%d: couldn't map / establish interrupt"
+A fatal initialization error has occurred.
+.It "ti%d: jumbo buffer allocation failed"
+The driver failed to allocate memory for jumbo frames during
+initialization.
+.It "ti%d: bios thinks we're in a 64 bit slot, but we aren't"
+The BIOS has programmed the NIC as though it had been installed in
+a 64-bit PCI slot, but in fact the NIC is in a 32-bit slot. This happens
+as a result of a bug in some BIOSes. This can be worked around on the
+Tigon II, but on the Tigon I initialization will fail.
+.It "ti%d: board self-diagnostics failed!"
+The ROMFAIL bit in the CPU state register was set after system
+startup, indicating that the on-board NIC diagnostics failed.
+.It "ti%d: unknown hwrev"
+The driver detected a board with an unsupported hardware revision. The
+.Nm
+driver supports revision 4 (Tigon 1) and revision 6 (Tigon 2) chips
+and has firmware only for those devices.
+.It "ti%d: watchdog timeout"
+The device has stopped responding to the network, or there is a problem with
+the network connection (cable).

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+device driver first appeared in
+.Nx 1.5/1.4.2 .
+.Sh AUTHORS
+The
+.Nm
+driver was written by
+.An Bill Paul Aq wpaul%ctr.columbia.edu@localhost .
+.Sh BUGS
+The driver currently tries to access some on-board memory transparently.
+This mapping (BUS_SPACE_MAP_LINEAR) fails on systems where the corresponding
+PCI memory range is located in "sparse" space only.
+.Pp
+VLAN tagging is not supported in 
+.Nx .
