969c183801SScott Long.Sh HISTORY
979c183801SScott LongThe
989c183801SScott Long.Nm
999c183801SScott Longdriver first appeared in
1009c183801SScott Long.Fx 5.4 .
1019c183801SScott Long.Sh AUTHORS
1029c183801SScott LongThe driver was written by
1039c183801SScott Long.An Erich Chen Aq erich@areca.com.tw .
1049c183801SScott Long.Sh BUGS
1059c183801SScott LongThe driver has been tested on i386 and amd64.
1069c183801SScott LongIt likely requires additional
1079c183801SScott Longwork to function on big-endian architectures.
