+DECchip 21040, 21140, 21141, 21142, and 21143 PCI Ethernet interface driver

+Configuration of PHYs may also be necessary.

+.Xr mii 4 .
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports
+.Tn Ethernet
+and Fast
+.Tn Ethernet
+interfaces based on the Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21040,
+21140, 21141, 21142, and 21143 model controllers for
+.Tn PCI
+bus.

+.It AsanteFAST 10/100 single- and multi-port
+.El
+.Pp
+Generally, if the NIC is for
+.Tn PCI
+bus, and the major controller chip has the
+.Tn DIGITAL
+logo on it, with one of the model numbers above, the
+.Nm
+driver should recognize and control it.
+.Pp
+Multi-port interfaces are typically configured as a
+.Tn PCI Ns \- Ns Tn PCI
+bridge with multiple
+.Em de
+instances on the
+.Tn PCI
+bus on the other side of the bridge.
+.Pp
+.Tn DEC
+sold its semiconductor divison to
+.Tn Intel .
+In addition, there are many "knock-offs" of the
+.Tn DEC
+.Tn TULIP
+.Tn Ethernet
+controller chips; NICs based on these chips are handled by the
+.Xr tlp 4
+driver.
+.Pp
+This
+.Nm
+driver should not be confused with the
+.Nx
+.Tn VAX
+.Nm
+driver for the
+.Tn DEC
+.Tn DEUNA/DELUA
+.Tn Ethernet
+controller for
+.Tn UniBus .
