1009c183801SScott LongThe
1019c183801SScott Long.Nm
1029c183801SScott Longdriver first appeared in
1039c183801SScott Long.Fx 5.4 .
1049c183801SScott Long.Sh AUTHORS
1059c183801SScott LongThe driver was written by
1069c183801SScott Long.An Erich Chen Aq erich@areca.com.tw .
1079c183801SScott Long.Sh BUGS
1089c183801SScott LongThe driver has been tested on i386 and amd64.
1099c183801SScott LongIt likely requires additional
1109c183801SScott Longwork to function on big-endian architectures.
