.SH NAME
bfe \- Device driver for Broadcom BCM4401 100Base-T NIC
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBbfe\fR Fast Ethernet driver is GLD-based and supports the Broadcom
BCM4401 100Base-T NIC adapters :\fBpci14e4,170c Broadcom BCM4401 100Base-T\fR.
.sp
.LP
The \fBbfe\fR driver supports IEEE 802.3 auto-negotiation, flow control and
VLAN tagging.
.SS "Configuration"
The default configuration is auto-negotiation with bidirectional flow control.
The advertised capabilities for auto-negotiation are based on the capabilities
of the \fBPHY\fR.
.sp
.LP
You can set the capabilities advertised by the \fBbfe\fR controlled device
using \fBdladm\fR(8).  The driver supports only those parameters which begin
with en (enabled) in the parameters listed by the command \fBdladm\fR(8). Each
of these boolean parameters determines if the device advertises that mode of
operation when the hardware supports it.
